    We are very excited to announce that we are now offering a complete, out-of-the-box solution for ditch/pillar lights for 2016-2018 Toyota Tacomas! These will be full packages and will have everything you need, including the easy to install bolt-on/no-drill mounts, a huge variety of lights to fit your budget and need, and all the hardware and wiring you need. Our goal with this was to create solutions for everyone that takes the guesswork out of piecing together parts from various vendors. You can choose from a variety of lights and beam patterns to give you greater visibility out of your lighting at night.

    Ditch/pillar lights are a great auxiliary light for someone that is on a budget but still needs improved lighting, or for someone who already has lighting but needs more periphery fill in lights. When properly aimed, they will increase your field of view allowing you to see oncoming obstacles with enough time to properly navigate them and be fully aware.

    Here's an installed pic of these bad boys on @Leonardskeonard's truck! He opted for the G34 version.

    Awesome, I noticed most aftermarket brackets did not have a hole large enough for the KC bolt.

    I had to drill mine out to fit, wish you had these earlier!

    Have you guys considered a dual flood outer with spot inner combo like this? I made mine so I could swivel each independently for ditch lighting and spotting forward.

    Would love to have the KC Flex for something like this with independent swivel capabilities. Do you guys make covers for the Flex series (different color filters?) yellow would be sweeeet!

    Black filters on aren’t blinding, but noticeable on shady trails

    You could actually do this yourself - it's just not something we'd stock on the shelves... we're trying to get away from custom builds as the eat up a ton of time and planning. You'd order a single Dual flex in spot, and single dual in spread, and then the bezel kit/tool so you can remove the bezel, then lens, then reflector and swap the reflectors between the two units and put em where you want! You can get a better idea of what I mean by watching this video to see where I tore apart the FLEX lights. Basically at 1 minute and then throughout the rest of the video.

    Is there a way to put a KC bar between the grill and license plate?
