    Hi,

    I don't know how i missed it! They offer an extension, that might be my only option. Thanks!

    I really like the look of the stacked ditch lights, are there any of those for us Tacoma owners?

    Hello there, yes we have the extension that look pretty awesome. To be honest i have seen any stacked ditch lights, but that would be a cool idea. Maybe soon in the works now:rolleyes:

    Hi!

    Thank you for taking the time to reply to my email! Your exension does look awesome! I'll take your advise and see what I can make, but of course most things look easier than they actually are...we shall see.

    Looks like i'll be ordering a pair of your ditch light mounts to play around with...any chance of a discount? :D:fingerscrossed:

    Thanks again for your help!

    I assume you mean like the ones that run up the A-pillar on jeeps?

    There was a guy in the group buy section who was making a bracket for 1st gen Tacomas that accomplished that. But I'm not comfortable drilling into my A-pillar to mount it when other bolt-in options exist for the hood hinge area.

    Yes, something similar. I too do not want to drill into my truck. I was hoping there was an exension which would give me the look like the image below.
    It seems I will have to fab something but it certainly won't be as attractive as the professional's.

    Just wanted to update. I finally got around to putting together some brackets for dual ditch lights. Let me know what you think!

    So did you fab the stacking brackets or just buy a second pair? I'm thinking if everything clears I may as well just buy a second pair and stack them that way.

    Fucking look it up
    How sturdy is that and close up pics of the brakes would be cool looking at fabbing this up as well

    also what pods are you using. Looks like they are a nice non blue white light output... personally hate the overly blue output of most lightbars, like your lower valance one.

    I had some metal hanging around from some other project...not sure where they were from. I drilled a couple holes, put 2 bends in it with a hammer and a vice, a bit of black spray paint and boom. lol. I totally forgot to post pics. I'll get some up here today!

    The ones which are offered don't stack like I wanted them to. They were more of an extension to run pods side by side. I really wanted a higher stacked look, but was happy with the way these came out.

    Honestly they are the Auxbeam from Amazon...I love 'em! I don't have the money for Rigid or other big money lights. I think I have a few night time shots and a video of these. If you want to see.

    They are all the same 6000K white color, each LED has a projector lens on it and because of the angle I took the photo, the light refracted and seemed blue.

    I'll post another photo...
    The 32" X-series bar in the bumper is 180W and 18000 lumen and each pod is 20W and 2000 lumen.

    Here's the mount for the stacked lights.

    I took this, this morning. I should've grabbed a shot from the right side.

    Having 2 per side gives me the ability to have multiple configurations. I can spread out all 4 lights in front of me, or focus them all in front of me or have 2 wider side spread patterns. Currently each set is focused in the same area.
