CBI Ditch Lights / A pillar light Bracket Installed

[SANDBXS3V3N]

Does someone have a picture of just the brackets or can you confirm these are the same ones you got for fitment up to a 2015?

These look the same as mine DID... After having the fitment and rubbing issue I went ahead and trimmed the brackets instead of my plastic. Just used a angle grinder and file. Probably could have done a little better job but lack of patience at the time. Hope the picture helps. one is passenger side under hood; other is drivers after install. No vibration issues or negative affect at this time. Still relatively strong.

Wind Noise? Kidding, without the kit on the roof the ditch lights did not attribute to wind noise- They wired so either they are switched with the hi-beams or independently along with 24 inch led bar on the front bumper-

Just wondering, what tent and awning are you rocking? Killer looking rig!

TBH I was highly disappointed in these. As there were not a true bolt in with out cutting something. Mine was is a 2011 and they still don't fit great. But they will work.

I tried to do the install yesterday but I couldn’t even get them into place without cutting. Like I couldn’t even get them close to lining up so I just wanted to make sure. I’m ok with a little cutting.

They sent me three different ones because I was dead set there no way they could fit. but the third one was a little better. I ended up cutting the plastic. but looking back wish I cut the bracket instead!

Was set #2 and #3 that different from the first one? should i ask for a replacement?

The first was. There was a small batch like 20 or so that where wrong. I was supposedly the last one to get sent the wrong ones. But I will say that are a pain in the ass to fit. Just notch the bracket.

Great... I must have got one of the first batch. Would have been nice for CBI to reach out and let me know.

The problem is they don’t know who they sent them too.

for those that have notched the CBI bracket, has there been any issues at all after doing that? Still strong?

I realize this is a thread for the CBI brackets, but has anyone tried the SDHQ's - they fit much better on my old Gen 5 T4R....

They don’t have any for early year 200’s, otherwise I would give them a shot.

They originally told me they would fit but as @duncansu said, they do not. That's why I went with CBI.

I did it a year and a half ago and have had zero issues except trying to clean splattered bugs off the lights.

Any templates of these? Seem expensive for the metal used.

I’m considering just getting some cardboard and mocking up a set to fit the angles and then transfer that to metal

I just saw a YouTube video for a 4runner guy mocked up with a flexible wire seemed like a good idea.
