Nilight Ditch Light Brackets Hood Hinges Mount Bracket Kit for Auxiliary Offroad LED Pod Work Lighting on Toyota Tacoma 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004

I put these on a 20 Tundra to rin some 3" Baja Squadron Sports. I had some CBIs on an 07 Tundra that cost a bunch more and I believe these will work just as well. Beware the mount goes on the engine side of the hinge, not between it and the hood. Also , the mounting platform may be close to your hood so consider either installing your lights mounting bracket bolt upside down, trim the bolt, or use a shorter one.

The media could not be loaded. I will admit, I did have a little trouble with installing. Because of the way the bolts tighten clockwise, it causes the driver's side to pull in snug when tightening, and on the passenger side, it pulls away. My gaps between the hood and the fenders even shifted a bit. Not a big deal. No damage done. I took it to a shop and had them tighten everything up to ensure that my gaps were correct, the brackets were installed snug, and that no damage was done.Now, for how it all comes together. I love this mounting option over the lip mounts. Keeps everything clean, and when I open my hood, even with my ham radio antenna mounted, I have nothing hitting the windshield. It turned out perfect. Just wish I had thought about the bolt shift issue before spending time installing. I'd have gone to the shop to begin with. The value is great. This is installed on my 2021 Ford Ranger, and with the addition of a bracket, I have the versatility of using this for both my Auxbeam 4" lights and my NMO antenna. There is no vibration with these brackets. It moves perfectly with the hood of the truck, so while it may look like it is vibrating, it is solid, everything is vibrating together.

Fit my 2017 ram perfectly. Nice and sturdy, lights don't wobble or vibrate. They have been installed for a few months and the finish is holding up great.

Beefy well built did not suit for my needs

Easy install on my Ram 3500. 1/4” steel heavy duty for sure. Only thing I don’t like is it has a textured powder coating I’d prefer a smooth powder coating but still a good product so far.

Works well to cut to fit application

These brackets get the job done on a budget. The product’s finish (visually) is great, and the fitment is "alright" (I needed to add a couple of 1.5-inch washers between the brackets and hood bolts, and they contact or nearly contact the back edge of the hood). The brackets were a little uneven from one side to the other (as if they weren't quite bent evenly). There is very little vibration at highway speeds.My biggest gripes are the large mounting holes/slots. As I mentioned, I added washers for additional security and better "bite" for the bolts. Additionally, when installed, there is very little clearance between the brackets and the back end of the hood — approximately 0–2 mm. I was able to push them back a little bit to create a small gap, and I added some 3M vinyl to hopefully protect the paint.

easy install, looks like a quality item(s), still need to hook up LEDS. follow up soon. after install, no vibration or rocking, solid as it can be. no issues with this item for a 2018 chevy colorado.
