Lighting for sides of vehicle?

[Cody Templeton]

Those Lamphus pieces look like a nice match to your rack.

Yea, I've got Nilite ones on my tube front bumper that work very well, so I think I'll just go something that route to mount the lights to the rack. I've only got space for something smaller on the back corner of the rack anyways since the traction boards take up most of the space on the side.

Ordered these, I like that they have a fully diffused lens, plus they're probably expensive enough to not be complete garbage, but cheap that I'm not spending 230 bucks on a pair of BD lights.

I also ordered the smaller version of the tube clamps that I'm currently running on my front bumper.

Lights and brackets showed up yesterday, hoping to install them sometime this week.

Got the lights, brackets, and wiring installed. It's very hard to hide the wiring, but I think it turned out pretty solid. I didn't want to drill any holes in the roof, so the wiring was run from the upfitter switch area, through the fender and door jamb, under the weatherstripping, and under the roof rack bracket. All of the wiring was secured to the basket so it looks fairly clean, but obviously no good way to hide everything. Looking forward to testing them out tonight.

I'll have to say for the cost of these lights they were pretty surprisingly bright. The light is diffused pretty nicely and spreads well. Should work great for various uses.

I know I'm late to this and you've already found what looks to be a great solution that is also cost effective but I just saw this now. I'll post up anyway as to possibly help someone else out in a similar situation.

The RV awning lights from super bright led's have worked really well for me on my enclosed trailer as loading lights/reverse lights. Plenty of light for that but not so much that you blind yourself with them. I have the older 13" version in 4000k and they've been on there for over 5 years now. You can get them in white or black body, choose 4000k or 5700k and they come in 5", 9", 13", 17" and 22" sizes.
