GS Power Engine Hood Hinge Ditch Brackets for mounting Auxiliary Off-Road LED Pod Work Light. Fit Between Hood & Cowl Panel at Windshield Base. Compatible with 2016-2020 3rd Gen Toyota Tacoma

Installed on 1st Gen Tundra. Fit well with good clearance at windshield.Hood does sit high but could be lessened by filing the bolt holes or relieving the wiper cowling, I did neither.Installation is easy, just remove lower hinge bolt, install bracket, install and snug bolt, remove upper bolt, rotate bracket to align with hole, install bolt, tighten both. Repeat on second hinge. Took me less than 10 minutes.Product seems beefy with good finish and paint.

Not the thickest material, but gets the job done. Make sure you you space it so it uses the most outer parts of the slots so you won't have to redo it more than once!

Easy to install. No mods. Only tool needed is 12mm socket. THESE GO BETWEEN BOLTS AND HINGE! Not between hood and hinge. If you install that way the hood will sit proud and latch awkwardly.To install, remove bolt closest to front bumper, attach mount with other hole offset, replace/tighten that bolt, remove rear bolt, swing mount over into place, replace bolt and tighten. Doing it this way keeps the hood from shifting around so you don’t have to readjust it in relation to latch. SEE PICS

I installed these on a 2019 Tacoma.The good: these brackets are super sturdy and the way they mount to the hood hinges is super easy to install. Absolutely no wobbling and they leave plenty of clearance for the window.The bad: the paint on these chips easily. I can take my fingernail to it and it chips. I'm going to wire brush them down and repaint them. Lastly, the fitment wasn't great. The driver side fit perfectly, but the passenger side hit out on the plastic fascia (where the wipers rest) when you close the hood, but just slightly. So I had to trim a sliver off the end to make it fit. All in all, not too bad.

Better than expected considering price, paint like other reviews is pretty thin but if yours careful putting them on its no big deal.How to install these since directions werent included:Get a couple blocks of 2x4s to wedge in between the hood and the windshield to try and limit moving (dont go crazy just make sure the 2 blocks are snug up between the windshield and hood on whatever side you are going to start with. Then remove both bolts on one side of the hood whichever side you put the blocks on to limit movement, I placed mine with the end of the mounts pointing out away from the truck. But you can point them facing in if you desire. Next put the bolts through mount and into their respective holes on the hood and tighten them down, I did this until they felt as snug as they were when I took them off, probably around 30 lb ft. Then move your blocks to the other side and repeat.I installed 3 inch cube lights they were about 4 inches long and 3x3 inches in height and width and have no problem with clearance from the windshield.

These brackets are a great value. They seem to be sturdy and have a decent rust protective coating that looks like crackle paint. Best part for me is they bolt onto my 1st Gen Sequoia and clear everything fine. Other brackets specifically for the 1st Gen Sequoia and Tundras sell for much more than this bracket. Why pay more if this works?

Worked well on my Tacoma. Very sturdy.

Can't say much about the long-term for these mounts and although they did fit (after bending the one back into shape) I was immediately and immensely disappointed the first drive I took. I had the Baja designs squadron sports on these, far from the heaviest pod light you can get but still not the lightest, they shook going down a gravel road enough to make me dizzy. Even on the freeway and normal driving conditions I couldn't help but keep glancing at them to see them just vibrating madly. Don't cheap out on mounts for nice lights. Lesson learned, product returned.
