I've been sitting on my bracket for a month while saving up for new DDSS3 lights...maybe another week I'll post installed pics...the brackets are beautifully made and probably stronger than it needs to be ?

Haven't got to installation since I only have one pair of lights come in...but...how does the bracket go on @Thesspirate ?
Your prototype image appear to show the bracket mounted backwards?
The production bracket has your trademark but reads only in this position...if I flip it around so the L is facing out like your pic above, the trademark would be backwards...also, is this bracket driver or passenger side? Thanks!

Here you go buddy. Post 20 of this thread.
Drivers side should be the opposite for you.
Alright everyone, here are a few more pictures of the revised bracket. Unfortunately the powder coating place couldn't knock this set out for a good price, so I used Steel-it Black to coat these ones but the "production" brackets will have a powder coated finish. All mounted with stock hardware are they are solid.
I'll put some mounting pictures here and the next post below will have a little more info as well.
The brackets shown below are for the passenger side. The driver side is the same, just mirrored.
The wide light channel is .375 for 3/8" bolts.
Again, the material is 1/8" steel plate which is then water jet cut and bent to 90 degrees.
Here are some pictures of it mounted onto the bumper. This is the PASSENGER side, so the left side of the image closest to the center of the truck.
And here is some detail on how/where they mount. These brackets replace the entire OEM fog light pocket. They mount to the top two purple bolts pictured in the image below. The OEM hardware is used to mount the bracket.
The bracket and cover below can be reinstalled, but there is no need for them in order for these brackets to mount or function. They have no structural purpose. I have mine left off for the time being since I've been taking these on and off.
Really want to snag these but I'm afraid of the credit card hole that might follow.

Hey Thanks Doug! I'd try spreading out the parts...got these brackets a month ago and just now getting the lamps...
Interesting that OP went through the trouble of cutting trademark but have them facing inwards...that's what threw me...

I got you.
It's not visible when mounted I don't think. So he probably didn't mind if he noticed or did it for a reason.
Let us know what you think. Really want to get these. Already have some BD Squadfon Pros I want to put in. Would like to do the bracket then. Problem is that'll make me spend another $1500-$2000 in gear.

Hello there! In the process of building up my 21 Tremor. I ordered and have this bracket already. LOVE IT!!
Just jumping in here to ask is there a Y adapter to connect the two pods to the factory harness so they turn on with the OEM light switch? If not both isn't there an adapter harness that can be used to connect just one to the factory OEM harness and switch?
UPDATE: Well never mind lol i think i just found it. Been searching for a few days and found nothing. Must have been searching the wrong key words before....
