Glare Shields or Guards?

[Bakerboy]

Is anyone aware of a “universal” type of glare guard or shield for auxiliary lights. I mount amber ditch lights that are great. I am getting some reflection off the white Mojave hood. I am sure I can cut ¼ moon shaped plastic or sheet metal and roll them to give me a small half moon curved shield, but wanted to see if there was something out their or what anyone else has done. Yes my ditch light do not point forward and 98% adjust correctly towards the side, I just don’t like the extra glare on the hood.

I checked around the forum and didn't see anything. I cant be the only one with this issue. Thanks

You will always get glare / refection from any lights mounted over or around the hood
All lights should be mounted on or around the front bumper

I feel ya, ….Welp I’m gonna give it a try anyway… Medium density, plastic cut and shaped… If this works, I’ll produce one out of sheet metal paint it black, and do a little better than a heavy zip tie to mount it onto the light. For a little bit more R&D… If that all works my buddy has a machine shop and I’ll roll some aluminum for two of them. Way too many race trucks out there using top mounted, and side mounted lights.

If you know someone with a 3D printer, it wouldn't be that much to make them.
Might even be able to use the hardware on the lens of the light to mount.

Prototype worked very well. Now to produce in something more durable than the plastic I used.

This may help too. I put this black out decal on my silver hood to help with I-95 AM Northbound sun glare. Worked. 100 bucks.
