    Looking for some driving lights and mounts. I don't want a bull bar.
    I spend a good deal of night time highway driving and want to add additional DOT compliant driving lights. I already have BAJA fogs, and LED headlights.

    What options are there for lights and mounting options?
    TIA.

    Front grill or bumper area. Whatever works, and is available.
    New state law makes it illegal to have off-road lights on when on public roads, hence the desire for DOT compliant. I'm keeping the Baja fogs either way.

    Rigid Industries had DOT compliant driving lights. Not sure if anyone else does. One thing to also look into is a lot of municipalities restrict the total number of lights you can have on at one time, even if they are DOT compliant. For example, most restrict the number to 4 (i.e., 2 headlights and 2 fog lights) on at the same time.

    Thx.
    Been looking at some Rigid lights. They aren't cheap, that is for sure.

    Ideally some brackets that would sit on top of or below the bumper. Then I can get some lights.
    My state doesn't (legally) permit off road lights to be on on public roads and highways.

    Anybody have any mounting brackets (other than license plate mounts) for mounting Squadrons to the front bumper of a 2017 Tundra? They would need to attach to the metal frame behind the plastic bumper. Not light bar mounts.

    Keep in mind, a lot of states have a maximum height dog lights can be mounted at. You may have to install the fogs in the stock location and move the Baja's somewhere else to stay legal.

    The Baja Squadron's aren't street legal, and my state changed laws making it illegal to have off-road lights on on public roads. So I am replacing my Squadron's as fog lights with Morimotos, and want to move the Squadron's to additional lighting on or near the bumper level.

    My bad, the way this was worded, it looked like wanted ideas for DOT lights and mounts for them. There was no mention of the Morimotos, so I assumed and apparently assumed wrong.
