Built from 1\/8-inch steel with a hammer black powder coat finish, the brackets accept pods from 3 inches up to 6 inches in diameter and are sold as a driver\/passenger side pair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHood-Hinge Position Keeps Your View Clear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMounting ditch lights at the hood hinge places them near the A-pillar. That location is far enough outboard to cast a wide spread of light, but low enough that the pods stay out of the driver's line of sight on the trail. The Addictive Desert Designs brackets lock that position in place so the pods stay aimed where they were set, whether pointed straight ahead or angled to the side for corner illumination. That adjustability means one bracket position works across different lighting strategies without any secondary hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e1\/8-Inch Steel and Hammer Black Powder Coat\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe brackets are cut from 1\/8-inch steel and sandblasted before receiving a hammer black powder coat finish. That process removes mill scale and surface contaminants before the coating bonds, which matters for brackets that live under the hood and take road debris, heat cycles, and weather exposure. The hammer texture also reduces glare from oncoming headlights that a smooth gloss finish would reflect back into the cab.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFully Bolt-On with Integrated Wire Management\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Addictive Desert Designs Ditch Light Brackets bolt directly to the existing hood hinge hardware. No drilling, no cutting, and no permanent modification to the truck is required. Integrated wire management channels the light pod wiring along the bracket so the finished install looks routed rather than improvised. The bolt-on design also means the brackets can be removed and reinstalled if the truck changes hands or the lighting setup changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDriver\/Passenger Pair:\u003c\/strong\u003e includes both left and right brackets\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHood-Hinge Mount:\u003c\/strong\u003e bolts to existing hinge hardware, no drilling required\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA-Pillar Pod Position:\u003c\/strong\u003e keeps lights out of the driver's sightline\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFits Pods Up to 6 Inches:\u003c\/strong\u003e compatible with 3-inch cube pods through 6-inch round pods\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntegrated Wire Management:\u003c\/strong\u003e routes wiring cleanly along the bracket\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1\/8-Inch Steel Construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e hammer black powder coat finish applied after sandblasting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade in the USA:\u003c\/strong\u003e fully bolt-on installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e1\/8-inch steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eHammer black powder coat (sandblasted before coating)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003ePod Compatibility\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e3-inch cube pods through 6-inch round pods\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eQuantity\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eDriver and passenger side pair\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMount Location\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eHood hinge\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eAC1101801NA\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eVehicle Fitment\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e2015–2020 Ford F-150; 2017–2020 Ford F-150 Raptor\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMade in the USA\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals including silica, crystalline, which is known to the State of California to cause cancer.

The bolt-on hood-hinge mount makes them a clean fit for trucks that will see regular off-road use as well as daily driving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-no\"\u003eThese brackets do not fit any vehicle outside the 2015–2020 Ford F-150 and 2017–2020 Ford F-150 Raptor. Light pods are not included. Running larger pods (such as the LP4, LP6, 6-inch Rigid 360s, or similar-sized lights) requires either a 2-inch stubby antenna or removal of the factory antenna to clear the larger housing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat vehicles do these ditch light brackets fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe Addictive Desert Designs Ditch Light Brackets fit 2015–2020 Ford F-150 and 2017–2020 Ford F-150 Raptor trucks. They are not compatible with any other make, model, or model year outside those two ranges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat size light pods will these brackets accept?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe brackets accommodate LED light pods from 3 inches up to 6 inches in diameter. Compatible options include 3-inch cube pods such as the Rigid or Baja Designs cube lights and 6-inch round pods such as the Rigid 360 or Baja Designs LP6. Light pods are sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eDo I need to drill or cut the truck to install these?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eNo drilling or cutting is required. The Addictive Desert Designs Ditch Light Brackets bolt directly to the existing hood hinge hardware on the 2015–2020 Ford F-150 and 2017–2020 Raptor, making installation fully reversible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eIs there anything extra required when running larger light pods?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eYes. Running larger pods (including the LP4, LP6, 6-inch Rigid 360s, or similar-sized lights) requires either a 2-inch stubby antenna or removal of the factory antenna to provide enough clearance for the larger housing. Smaller pods such as 3-inch cube lights do not have this requirement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eDo the brackets come as a pair?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eYes. Each set of Addictive Desert Designs Ditch Light Brackets includes both the driver-side and passenger-side bracket, so one purchase covers the full ditch-light installation on both sides of the truck.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Addictive Desert Designs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50625598816326,"sku":"AC1101801NA","price":158.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0691\/2203\/1686\/files\/2015-2020-Ford-F-150-_-Raptor-Ditch-Light-Brackets-Offtruck-sq.jpg?v=1791942965","url":"https:\/\/terrainvault.com\/products\/addictive-desert-designs-f-150-and-raptor-ditch-light-brackets","provider":"TerrainVault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
