I saw that red "DRUBICON" in person when he was still prototyping them. They do look very nice.Super pricey but I plan on running these ditch lights someday. Love the design and function https://dandcdesigns.net/
Wow, thanks for this! Mounting the 7” Mopars in my plastic JTW bumper seems like way too much work. And I NEED the ability to lower the windshield. I never would’ve thought of mounting them like this.I really like OEM parts if they’re made, so I went with the Mopar bracket and 5” lights. Couldn’t be happier! Great light output and an old school, flat fender Power Wagon vibe when side-mounted. Also don’t get in way of folding down the windshield. Old PWs are another truck I have a weakness for…
No that’s not mine pictured, but my son and I do have two that are all there, but in need of full resto. Still, I bought em back in the day and have less than $3500 in both. Good decisions to scarf before they got crazy…
Glad it was of use to you John! You could easily move them, yes, but I’m not sure you’d want to. In the upright position there’s a lot more hood glare, and while that doesn’t bug me too much, it bothers a lot of people. On the side I think they put out just as much forward light, and from the inside just pretty much illuminate the fenders, which looks cool to me personally, as does that side position just looking at the lights there on the truck. It’s more of a unique look, imo. But if you want to move them, just a matter of unbolting. Due to the position it’s a little bit of a pain, but nothing terrible by any means.Wow, thanks for this!

once you choose your orientation, could you move them easily? For example could I keep them vertical until I want to open the windshield and then put them horizontal?
And YES on the PW!!
any chance you could snap a photo of the glare at night from the driveGlad it was of use to you John! You could easily move them, yes, but I’m not sure you’d want to.

Will I just ordered them tonight. Can’t wait to install them with my son. He’s the one who got me into a Jeep and he loves their modular nature. BTW i have a daughter and a daughter-in-law who are PT’s.Glad it was of use to you John! You could easily move them, yes, but I’m not sure you’d want to.

How do you like those? They are next on my lighting upgrades.... I have a hydro blue JT as well, how close is the blue trim ring? I was planning on doing the red one but like the way yours looks. How did you run the backlight wiring? I was planning to wire that lead to the same aux switch that my rock lights are on.Got a set of KC Flex Era 3s, the orange backlight is cool.
