16 suburban ditch light brackets?

[Jnull]

Does anyone make ditch light brackets for these vehicles? Even hood hinge brackets would be fine. I have a pair of SDHQ fender mount ditch light brackets for my wife’s 16 Sierra 1500 but we traded it on the suburban and these brackets don’t fit.

Auxiliary lighting mounted that high makes a substantial difference in output. I have a pair of Baja designs XL80s with spot lenses on ditch brackets for my mega cab and they really aren’t far off my 40” baja Designs ONX6 hi power that’s mounted a couple feet lower. The XL80 pair is 19k lumens compared to the 44,600 lumens the ONX6 puts out.

I looked for a year for my 2011. I finally found some on Amazon. Kind of a smh moment, and they were a whopping $20.

Would you be able to post a link? We’re they hood hinge mounted?

Here are the ones I bought. I found them because someone gave me a link for a set he put on his 06. Turns out it was a easy search after that.

@Sparksalot for the win. I never search Amazon for this kind of stuff because their search engine sucks and usually brings up parts for every vehicle but the one you searched but I found one company that makes then for the 15+ platform. They’re certainly not SDHQ but I don’t need them to hold an XL80 either.

They have a bolt on tab the light mounts to, I’m assuming those have to be removed to open the hood otherwise theirs no need for them. That kind of sucks but it’s livable.

Those are the ones I ordered. Have you run anything bigger then an S2 on there? Any vibration? Do you think the lights would need removed to open the hood if running a 3” pod? Thanks.

No issues, solid as a rock...everything clears with no issue(s). I think 3" pods will be fine. They mount underneath the hood on the hood brackets so the mount, light and hood all move together.

Good deal thanks for the info.

Good deal thanks for the info.

I'll try to get a close up photo with hood open tmmrw to get an idea of the clearance.

That’d be great, thanks again.
