Nilight Ditch Light Brackets for Dodge RAM 1500/2500/3500 (2009–2018) — Forged Steel No-Drill Hood Mounts

If you want to mount auxiliary ditch lights to your Dodge RAM without cutting or modifying the truck, these precision-formed Nilight brackets use existing factory hood bolts for a secure, low-profile installation. Built from thick forged steel with a black matte finish, they are sized to accept a wide range of LED light housings and screw sizes so you can upgrade brightness and beam control without custom fabrication.

How do these brackets attach to my RAM without drilling?

The brackets are designed to align with the factory bolt locations beneath the hood so installation reuses the truck's existing fasteners. That means you remove the stock bolt, position the bracket, and reinstall the factory screw—no drilling, cutting, or body modifications required.

• Fits original hood bolt holes for a direct mount.
• Uses factory screws for a clean, reversible install.
• Included spare screws for convenience during installation.

Will these mounts hold different LED light sizes and heavier fixtures?

Nilight thickened the bracket walls and enlarged the mounting slots so they accommodate a broad range of lights from compact 2" pods up to larger 7" housings. The holes accept common metric fasteners (M6, M8, M10), making them compatible with most aftermarket LED ditch lights and their mounting hardware.

• Enlarged holes fit M6, M8, and M10 screw sizes.
• Reinforced steel construction supports heavier light housings.
• Works with many 2"–7" LED pod and oval light designs.

What materials and finish protect these brackets from weather and road wear?

Manufactured from forged steel and CNC-formed for precise fit, the brackets are powder-coated with an electrophoresis step for long-lasting corrosion resistance. Smooth, deburred edges reduce the risk of paint damage to the hood and provide a finished appearance that resists chipping and fading under normal road conditions.

• Forged steel core for strength and durability.
• Electrophoresis pretreatment plus black matte powder coat finish.
• CNC-pressed with smoothed edges to protect vehicle surfaces.

How simple is the install and what comes in the package?

Installation is straightforward and intended for a single-person job with basic hand tools. Each kit includes two mounting brackets and extra screws so you have everything needed to mount a pair of ditch lights to both sides of the hood quickly.

• Two mounting brackets for driver and passenger sides.
• Spare mounting screws included for faster fitment.
• No special tools or body modifications required.

Who is this for: These Nilight ditch light brackets are ideal for Dodge RAM owners (2009–2018 1500; 2010–2018 2500/3500) who want a sturdy, reversible way to add auxiliary lighting. If you plan to mount medium to large LED pods, prefer a no-drill installation, and want corrosion-resistant hardware that matches a blacked-out or rugged truck aesthetic, these brackets are a practical choice.
