    Hey group,

    This Black Friday, my upgrade budget will be used for supplemental lighting. I’m a fan of setting my truck up to be functional, and for me I’m not an off roader or Overland guy. So, my truck will be mainly set up for those times when either power goes out (hurricanes, snow storms), and for driving in the snow.

    My plan is to get a 42” bar (pic attached) and mount in the low valance on the front bumper (fog lights are amber too), and I also have ditch light brackets but no lights. So my question to the group, which ditch lights should I get, and what color (and why)?

    Thanks for the help!

    As far as ditch lights it really depends on your preference and budget.
    *I'm assuming you are mounting the lights by the hood hinge.
    Do you prefer yellow or amber?
    How much light do you need?
    how close/far do you need the light to travel?
    are you running in a desert with open space for miles or are you on mountain logging roads just trying to find the edge?
    What is your budget?

    I'm a fan of @Baja Designs , Squadron series seem to be a common ditch light, I personally like the look of the S2s better in the corner by the hood.

    Depending on your use, baja has different lens you can swap out. Also their customer service is fantastic.

    Ditch light bracket? here is another thread with lots of pics.
