POD Light Recommendations??

[blogue]

My Day 1 reservation Badlands (part 2 - first one was damaged in transit) is finally here. Picking it up Monday. Looking for recommendations on POD lights. I can have the dealer install the ford performance Rigid lights but I'm thinking there is a better option. I've seen numerous threads over time about the light options from Baja, Diode Dynamics, etc. But had tuned that all out for a while of waiting. My application will be typically used on the beach at night or the occasional on road snow storm etc. Don't need a super high end solution. What has everyone settled in on as a good middle of the road option? And if a thread on this question already exists I do apologize - feel free to point me there. Thanks in advance.

I have been using the Swarfworks bracket and three Baja LP6 lights for this same application, and have been very happy with them. I have both the yellow and clear lenses; come winter, the yellow lenses should be excellent in New England snowstorms.

Thank you. I should have clarified that mine will be for the A pillar location. But the bumper location could be next.

I just installed Rigid 360's, 2 each per A pillar. Looks great and very bright but I had issues wiring it. Two lights each pillar, a harness with connections for one light per pillar. Also, way too much wire in the harness. So, would I recommend them? Only if you're not turned off by having to improvise.

I had some Rough Country ones installed. I like ‘em.

Do you have pictures, and where did you buy them?

I bought some $10 lights from DV8. But i think they are the same $10 lights you see on Amazon. Just some cheap LEDs to get started. Have aux upfitters, so wiring should be simple. All learning to me, plus, I'm not spending 1k on lights just to learn.

I like the swarfworks bumper mount, but it looks like it is fixed for 3 pods, so i think im going with the TC bumper bar, which is adjustable. I like the gglighting pod bumper mounts best, but reviews of their customer service kinda scared me away.

There's always KC, classic look

Anyway, I'm not rich, so I'm not investing large initially, depends on how much i use them before spending more

I know you are going for A pillar, but i like bumper Lights more. A pillar just look meh, unless you have a rotating spot light, but I've not seen that on the new bronco

I did the Morimoto 4banger HXBs. They are definitely a step above middle of the road at $500 a pair but damn are they impressive. Liked em so much I immediately ordered some yellow HXB wides and white NCS wide SAEs (cheaper and street legal output) to put in the fog holes.

The NCS lights would be a good 'middle of the road' option in any beam pattern.

I just bought and installed today some diode dynamics ss3 ditch lights. While I haven't got out to test them yet or get pictures, they looked pretty sweet when turned on in my garage. I'll be testing them out further tomorrow evening.

I also have this kit, if you order from SPV they include custom wiring harnesses.

I just checked it out. Too bad I didn't know about them. Would have made the install much easier. Thanks for the info.

If you decide to go with Baja LP4 or LP6, they have a nice lockout harness specifically for uplifter switch installations. You can mount them almost anywhere you like FWIW.

I have the same dual Rigid 360 pods, along with KC Flex single trio on each side of the modular bumper pockets. My dealer is installing them all gratis for me. They are a great deaership.
