Ditch Lights

For those of you running them, do you get wind noise on the highway with them? If so, how much? Probably silly question, but I could not find any info on the subject.
Thanks!

 

Honestly can't say I hear much if anything

 

I haven't noticed anything either.

 

I haven't noticed any noise from them. And I HATE any type of rattling, creaking, whistling, etc.

 

Thanks! What brackets do you run? Sorry had to add, I have a 30” single row led in the bumper, it seems like ditch lights would give me a somewhat complete forward lighting setup. Seem reasonable?

 

SDHQs

 

Surprisingly, none at all.

 

I edited it it, would like to hear your thoughts on that.

 

I also installed quick connects with my lights so I could uninstall whenever I wanted. Usually I don't run with them on the road

Depends on the brand and style of lights you're running; spot, flood, combo, side shooters, etc. I have a 40" curved double row in my bumper, 30" single in the skewp and the pillar lights help with lighting up a wider angle, not so much forward. My Rigid fogs help with this too.

I have some night pics on my build

 

My 30” is a cheap combo 4D ebay special, but it works good. Ditch lights would be BD Amber lens whatever Joey sells me. I really don’t want anymore than that, so I’m hoping that combo would be ok, not laughable?

Also keeping stock headlights and fogs, they work decent.

 

I think it would look good. If you were trying to fry some zombies then maybe not lol. My light bars are Amazon specials lol but they are bright!

 

Thanks to the mod that moved this. That’s why I am big dummy.

 

I also like the Rago fab ditch brackets. I found a holiday special about 2 weeks ago. Brackets and BD sports for $250

 

X2 on these

Also, no noise at all

 

I am glad you replied, do you run BD sports? If so what do you suggest as the best multi-purpose lens in the ditch light position, amber or clear, and definitely factor in snow. @Almaboy
Thanks!

 

Hey buddy!!

Yes, I run sports for my ditch lights but wish I had pros now. I have S2pros in my fog locations and they are more impressive in my opinion. I’m sure that squadron pros would be blasters but I’m definitely a BDPros advocate, although the squadrons were ultra impressive before the pros went on.

Lenses....depends on your application. If you’re looking for really bright lights in near vision then go with wide cornering pros. For distance, my driving combos are great, but I’d go squadron pro next time.

If I was to do it all over again I would get squadron pro combo ambers for my fogs, and S2pro widecornering amber for ditch locations, then turn them 45 degrees (which they are now

I’m an amber fan. I have a 40 inch Amazon special in my bumper to give me white light.

 

BD Pros are the shits!

 

Yup

 

Let's see some pics of whoever has em!!!!

 

Rago Fab brackets and Cheapo NiLight Pods.

No wind noise that I've noticed. But between exhaust tone, tire noise, and just general road noise the cabin isn't exactly silent. I had irritating whistle from a roof basket on my 4runner, drove me insane. These are silent at all speeds.

I researched for a while before I went with Rago Fab. Made in USA, veteran owned company, excellent reviews everywhere online. Zero modifications, no cutting, no drilling, no rubbing.

As for the LED pods, they're cheap. But I've had NiLight on the golf cart and boat for a while, no reliability issues. I have too many toys that require attention and upkeep, so the compromises have to come somewhere.

The actual light produced by the location of ditch lights is extremely useful. I don't know how I went without this kind of light in this particular area on so many vehicles. Of course this depends exactly where you aim them. I have mine pointed outboard at about 30 degrees. It lights up areas on the sides/front of the truck that I have never been able to see at night.

 

I was just looking at these today. Brackets and a set of squadron pro's $417. On the rago site
