    I've made these Aluminum pods for KC Cyclone lights, they bolt on almost anything.

    There's two versions 0 degree (actually 90 degree straight up and down) and 22.5 degree which follows the profile of the cab so you can attach them to the outside plate of a bed rack ie, BAMF or any others. You can attach them to something verticle and they would obviously point 22.5 degrees down.

    These are similar to what I've put in the 3rd Brake lights that I'm making, but cheaper and easier to install. They come with black center plugs, all steel hardware, etch primered, painted semi gloss black and clearcoated. Lights not included.

    The pic of them mounted to the frame is for illustration since there was an existing hole. You'll need to drill for the center hex bolt and a smaller one next to it to feed the Cyclone wire through.

    I'd like to keep this as a development thread. I'm posting these in the Marketplace for $25 each.

    Just an update on the KC Cyclone lights and why I like to use them. They're really low amp, 500+ lumens, waterproof (weatherproof), affordable, low profile, lightweight, 20+ year warranty, highly rated and prewired with bullet connectors.

    @miamijime I'll post these for sale in the Marketplace "Other" tomorrow. Sorry for the delay on these, I had to make a bunch for Etsy, I'm selling them here for less since there's little fees.

    I'm also making aluminum pods for VLED puddle lights that will be attached to a plate.

    I'm finishing up the pods for VLED pudlle lights in the next couple days. They'll be 2, 3, or 4 pod versions mounted to a plate.

    The angles will be flat, 15, 30 or 45 degree. The pictures show the 15 degree version.

    My BAMF bars and alum plates should be here soon. I'm putting two 30° pods on each side, I'll get day and night pics.
