California Residents: Proposition 65 Warning
Very pleased with the design of the mount. Just one issue: the adapter plate to go to the 24 inch light bar did not have holes drilled in it so that I could install the bumpers. No big deal – I drilled the holes, all is well and it’s the nicest, sleekest Mount I have found. Really like not having to drill holes in my truck or have a magnet sit up there and screw up the paint. The light itself is what you would expect, nice choice of flash patterns. Would definitely buy this again and recommend to anyone. 2024 GMC 3500 HD crew cab
Just installed on two 2025 Chevy 1500. Very well made and good fitting product.
We purchased this for a newly acquired 2024 Ford F350 super duty truck.
Overall, everything fits well and the light is quite bright for its size.
As I posted in another review on the bracket specifically, I believe one improvement that would make this kit near perfect is the gasket where the bracket meets the light holes in the cab. The “trim and stick it on yourself” style seems like an unfortunately rough looking option for sealing this area. Even after carefully lining it up, when the bracket is tightened it squishes in a wavy fashion, and then the gap for the wire doesn’t sit quite right. A preformed, preinstalled gasket here with removable notches for the wire, even if it meant an increase in price, would have made this much better.
Thank you!
Light bar is amazing held up great so far bracket is good as well i will say tho the directions where unclear on install and the holes for the two rubber gourmets are to big and point less i did have to drill 2 5/8 in holes on the outter flanges on bracket and reinstall gourmets there to prevent the braket from slapping on the roof and causing metal to metal damage. Properly should update the design to that as its worked perfect since then
Extremely happy with the outcome of the taillight bracket and light.
Thank you!
