Constructed from CNC-formed aluminum with 304 stainless hardware and protected by a black matte finish, the clamps combine corrosion resistance, low visual impact, and a rubberized contact pad to protect paint while resisting slippage.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do these brackets attach to my car hood?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Nilight clamps use a two-piece squeeze design that grips the hood edge and tightens with stainless hardware—no drilling or welding required.
