Pillar light mounting

[85_Ranger4x4]

There is supposed to be "Bronco Bolts" on the top of the exterior mirrors for mounting things like lights, is there pictures out there of them?

These pod lights seem quite a bit bigger than I thought they’d be. I’ve never had anything like that so it’s not saying much. There are smaller brands/designs, right? These remind me of those big KC lights I’ve seen over 30+ years. No real reason, but I’m somewhat interested in Baja Design, if they’re any good.

Yes. There are many different sizes and shapes. Often companies will have a few to choose from to match exactly what a person is looking for.

For instance, here are all the different options just from Rigid (the makers of the pictured light):

Those are 4 inch I believe. Much smaller then those old K C lights. These are about as big as I'd go.

The Daylighters on my Ranger are 6", they don't really seem that big in a grille guard.

I was thinking about something similar but then I thought they might block the view off to the right side. Not really sure what I am going to do, I might just wait until we get the car.

At least now I know I won't have to build brackets for them lol

This is my plan.

Notice those lights are wireless.

Maybe they just use like a C battery or something...

They are not. The wires are hidden in the pics.

How do they get inside the cab without creating an air/water leak?

And ours is a hardtop...

I guess they missed the wiring video. Looks like about a 30 minute install.

At 3:46 on the video.

It was a joke. But half-hearted because you notice there is a hole for the mounting but nothing for the wiring. So I guess you have to drill another hole for the wires or perhaps a hole on the underside of the mirror mount?
