Ditch brackets

[SniperJJ10]

Anyone have any idea where I can find some ditch brackets for an 07 XLT? (The ones that mount in front of the A pillar) I cannot find any anywhere and I've been looking for days.

They mount spot lights to the cowl.

I never knew that was what they were called. I always just called them brackets. Thanks.

I never heard them called ditch lights until recently... maybe in the last year or 2.

Now we know.

So, does it really require a special bracket?

Personal preference, I'm not going to rivet pod lights to my hood, so it would be nice.

Thats one of those things where you may have to adapt something generic or make your own. Most of the light manufacturers offer brackets. Some even come with the lights. You may be able to use some designed for F150’s.

Everybody makes them for Jeeps. But Rangers are less common, especially since there were no new North American Rangers between 2011 and 2019. It just wasnt very profitable for the mfrs.
