Position auxillary lights cleanly for secure, vibration-free illumination ahead and to the side of the vehicle. Shares existing factory hood hinge mounting location. Lights sold separately.

It's always best to see the road - or lackthereof - ahead. With this in mind, improved illumination is a must-have for safe driving when off-roading, overlanding, or just exploring the road less traveled.

Common points for mounting aux lighting include the front bumper for long-throw lighting, the roof for high clearance/high perspective lighting, and the base of the A-pillar for ditch lighting. These brackets provide a clean, fully reverseable install point for this third lighting need - ditch lights. Fear no ditch, no dark, obstructed, or unknown path through the modern miracle of well positioned auxiliary lighting.

Utilizing factory hood mounting locations (read: strong, movement free mounting) and hardware, these satin black powder coated 5052 aluminum brackets wrap around the top of the hood adjacent to the A-pillar, and offer an ideal base for mounting auxillary lights of your choosing (sold separately). Lights are positioned low and snug against the vehicle, with ample room for light installation, while keeping lights low in your line of sight.

In-house designed by ECS design engineer Tali, the design and install of these brackets are featured in the "Adding Off Road Lights to the X5" Episode of the Built by Mike Overland series (found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7RiHu8sDAo&t=642s) starting at 10:42.
