These hood light brackets are intended for Jeep owners who drive a Wrangler JL or JLU (model years 2018–2025) or a Gladiator JT (model years 2020–2025) and want to mount aftermarket pod lights without modifying the hood. They suit DIYers who prefer a reversible, factory-friendly installation and anyone seeking a durable, adjustable mount made from precision-formed aluminum. Ideal for owners pairing the bracket with compact LED pod lights that use M8 or smaller mounting hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Will I need extra bolts to install these brackets?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: No, the brackets use your Jeep’s factory hood bolts—no additional bolts or drilling are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: What pod light bolt size fits the sliding slot?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: The sliding slot accommodates pod light bolts up to 8 mm (M8) and offers 80 mm of position adjustment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Nilight","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48083258769566,"sku":"B0C9D2PVHS","price":52.23,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0781\/2041\/9486\/files\/nilight-hood-bracket-front-mounted-wrangler.jpg?v=1785830085","url":"https:\/\/northtrailauto.ca\/products\/nilight-hood-light-brackets-for-jeep-wrangler-jl-jlu-gladiator-jt-18-25-matte-black-aluminum-no-drill-mount","provider":"North Trail Auto","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
