    I'm looking to get 3inch cube ditch lights and mounts, what is out there that you guys recommend? I'm definitely not looking for top end super expensive, but something that is at least decent and worth the money.

    Thanks!

    Some mounts require trimming of the cowl. Some don't. Can't really recommend any except for the one I went with since I've only purchased one brand. FWIW, no trimming required with these. As for pods, there are the super cheap and then you have ones made of gold (think Rigid). Again, depends what you need them for but any will probably get you the amount of light you need. There are flood and spot so look at the difference and go from there. I currently have a set from Auxbeam https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01FHP2E8S/ and they turn on. Would I buy them again? Nope. lol.

    Some areas require covers on add-on lighting mounted above the headlights. I chose auxbeam square pods and fitted them with -

    These covers should fit any of the typical square style -

    I have some Rigid ambers on Rago Fab hood mounts. The mounts are nice and convenient, you just slide them onto your hood mounts. The rigids are nice too but not worth the price, got mine for a great deal. I'm a fan of Auxbeam. They're pretty cheap and put out a workable amount of light. They're not fantastic but for the price I'm happy with them
