For my ARB bumper, I bought these Paranoid Fab brackets but I have never been impressed with the fit of the Diode SS2 lights.

Decided to take matters into my old hands. Took a few revisions but this fits the lights much better. Tomorrow will probably be test fit on the truck but its looking good.

Right now, its printed out of PLA+ but, once the test fit is confirmed and everything looks good, I will print it in ASA. ASA is like ABS but with better UV resistance. It will handle the heat of the front of the truck and not fade in the sunlight. Once these are done, I will be trying my hand at the fog light surrounds.

I appreciate how clean the Linkswell looks. When my OE unit dies, that is at the top of the list.

For those of you with the Linkswell unit, doesn't that much illumination in the cab bother you any when driving at night? Seems like it would cause a lot of glare inside.

Incredibly cool looking unit, though!

It has separate day/night intensity settings.
