If you have ditch lights installed, 15-20 tahoes post up I’m curious to see who’s got what.

I got some not rigid brand 6 LED square pod lights and decided to grab a bracket from a custom shop up Texas and wire up some 3000k LED spot lights. The harness was too short from pod to pod so had to extend it, I accidentally touched the spring on the hood to the ratchet haha that was fun, over all I’m happy. Eventually I’ll get something a little bright with a wider beam

I scored a set of brackets on Amazon while they were available. I haven’t decided what I want to install yet, but a least have the ability.

I have the same brackets $35 shipped off the eBay. See if they fit your Tahoe or yukon

That was a $30 Amazon led set of ditch lights m, replaced the wiring harness and lights with some that cost $120E3ADF49E-7C0A-4B86-8F3C-3AC3DB6C403D.jpeg

Just spent the last hour removing center console breaking the cigar light plug back end, drilling it out feeding wire with switch through.

Over all a fun install! Can’t wait to use them out in Arizona next week

What were you doing with the console taken apart?
Unplugged back of 12v plug and smashed pieces from behind drilled out metal casing in the back fed wire through and switch housing fits perfectly inside the metal 12v cigarette plug. After spending 35min I was going to cut the damn thing because I wasn’t about to remove both fuse boxes to find the fuse, was able to unplug it instead. After watching videos of you remove the metal piece it holds the cover on the outside so left it in place and just used it as a placeholder for the switch. Hope that makes sense ?

Only thing is bracket on passenger side makes hood not close flush forwards windshield in 3rs photo

These brackets are supposed to be for Tahoe but only one mounts to hood screw as you can see in 4th photo. The brackets were $40 shipped. I found another type of brackets for $75 I’ll buy those next and hopefully fit better!!
