Aftermarket Off-Road Lighting Thread

[Lonestar]

I am looking to add more off-road lighting to my truck and have searched and searched and have not found much and I know people have added lighting on their trucks. So, let’s put it all in one thread. Post what you have in lighting such as light bars, ditch lights, pods, rock lights etc!

I currently have the M&R 30” hidden light bar and two KC Cyclone V2 rock lights. I have 2 more for the rear but have only had time to install 2. More to come!!!

I have Harbor Freight Roadshock Edge 6 led lights up front.
Baja Design Flood lights in the rear bumper using SDHQ prototype mounting "shim" to match the curve of the bumper.
Full build details in my build thread.

Did you just cut holes in your rear bumper for those pods?

Yes. Details in my build thread.

I've installed my Randy Ellis Design Sleekster light mount and my ditch light hood brackets.

I'm using Morimoto BigBanger NCS light pods. I do not have it wired yet, trying to figure out the best way to route the harness for a clean install.

Just some pics of the pods temporarily mounted on the light bar.

Looks great! Keep us posted on how you decide to wire it up.

I had the lights wired up today. Seeing how it's coming to the end of the year and I have a lot to get done before the white stuff hits, I opted to take my truck to JPJ Communications and have them run the harness and have them get it done. They primarily install equipment and coms in all of the EMS/LE and municipal vehicles in the local area. They did the wiring beautifully and have it run well out of the way of everything.

I do need to adjust the lights for them to be optimal with the light distribution. The backlight function works perfectly and dims down when the lights come on.

I will get some good pictures of everything tomorrow or the next day.

Some night time pics. I have to adjust the pods. Need a flat area with some distance.

With only the parking lights on and the back light.

Spot light pods. Both need adjustment.

Combo and ditch lights. No spot lights.

All on. All of them need to be tweaked to shoot farther out and have a good spread.
