Ditch Light Alternatives | Flush Mount

I have these flush mount Baja Design lights laying around. I’m considering adding them as ditch lights/side lights. Anyone ever done something similar? See any issues? These are the two locations I’m considering.

 

Back of the mirrors would be a better spot.

 

Better for lighting, or just better looking? I'm not opposed to the idea, but it would be a whole lot more work. Those mirrors are full of motors, a heater, blinkers, and a camera.

Better for light. Both your spots are perpendicular to your direction of travel, even with the BD work light lens you are not going to be able to see much for very long. Unless you are looking for parked scene lighting..

Mirror location pints them forward, ditch spot gives you the options to aim them.

 

Curb lamps...tied to turn select at the light stalk...

 

Just like a Maxima..

I’d they’re white, I’d probably put them in the rear bumper for reverse lights and then get a pair of the pod ones for ditch lights.

 

What's your goal with these? They wouldn't be much use while driving.

It's all personal but, to me, both positions look terrible.

 

I like those Hella Smart Cornering lights. They would be just the ticket for my old eyes out here in the boonies.

 

Fender mounted, curb lamps actuated by selecting turn signal or ON switch (dual switch - With Turn - OFF - ON)

 

My Mini Cooper has these sort of cornering lights tied to the steering and they are soft on/off. Both go on in reverse. They are awesome.
That is all.

 

Sweet lord neither of those spots are good for actual lighting or for looks. If your just going to stick it to the side, just bolt them to the mounting holes for the stock nerf bar steps and call it good.

 

Agreed…what’s going on in this thread? Fuckery?
