Adding Retro Ditch lights to my Heritage Bronco

[Russellink]

I just installed vintage style ditch lights to my 2024 Bronco Heritage to give it more of a vintage feel.

I looked at endless videos and photos of everyone running the wiring along the windshield. I actually wanted the vintage look of the metal wire covers to show.

I was a bit hesitant to drill holes in the side mirror covers but I really like the way it turned out.

Would love to see if anyone else has done something similar.

Old school look for sure, I like. Nice job!

I was actually debating mounting an old set of round 6" halogen Hellas that I've had forever still in the box on the mini bull bar that I put on my capable bumper ... it would definitely give it that old school look!

How is the battery/alternator drain on these? I had a set on a 3rd Gen 4runner and could tell it needed a lot of juice, not sure what condition my alternator/battery were in but definitely noticed it when you turned them on.

I just installed them Saturday and haven't had time to do anything more than make sure everything worked properly. But I will be sure to keep an eye on it. Originally I was going to swap out the halogens with LEDs but I really wanted to get them installed, so maybe I will swap them out later.

I have been debating getting the mini Bull Bar a lot. I love the look, just not sure. I think I want to do an old school roof Light bar first.

Oorah Marine. Digging your EGA badge.
Need some KC covers to complete the look.

Thanks.
I thought about the KC covers, but actual KC lights where 10 times more expensive than these lol. I might make covers for them at some point.

They sure charge a premium for those 2 letters.

I love the look. I have been looking for options for my Ranger Edition Heritage. I have a friend sending me some old spotlight with the handle on them so you can direct it. I am hoping I can get them to work right. I think it would be cool.

Looks great!

Nice job! Now I want to “ditch” mine for your look

 

[AARDVARK122]

did you get them online? And if so can you share the link. If my old ones with the handle don’t work, will probably go with what you have.

I originally was going to get Daylighters but didn’t want the current draw. Those look great and I like the way you ran the metal flex cable. The KC soft covers should fit I think.

@Russellink Nice vintage look with the chrome. Keep us updated about the LED swap.
