WeiSen Ditch Light Bracket for Toyota 4Runner 4th Gen (2003–2009) — Bolt‑On Hood Hinge Mount for 3" Cube Pods, Powder‑Coated Steel

WeiSen ditch light brackets give your Toyota 4Runner (2003–2009) two factory-aligned mounting points for 3" cube pod lights without drilling or permanent modification. Upgrading auxiliary lighting on an older 4Runner can be awkward when you want a clean, reversible installation. These WeiSen hood hinge mount brackets bolt directly to the factory hinge location on 4th-generation Toyota 4Runners, creating two secure mounting holes that align with cube-style pod lights. The brackets are laser-cut from solid steel, powder-coated black for corrosion resistance, and shipped with the hardware required for a straightforward install.

How do these brackets mount to my 4Runner without drilling?

The WeiSen design uses the stock hood hinge locations so you simply remove the hinge bolts, sandwich the bracket, and retorque the fasteners. No cutting, welding, or body drilling is needed, preserving the vehicle’s original structure and resale value. Installation requires only common hand tools and basic mechanical comfort.

• Bolt-on installation using factory hood hinge bolts
• No modifications to sheet metal or hood required
• Includes all necessary fasteners in the package
• Typical install time: under an hour per side for most DIYers

What lights can I mount on these WeiSen brackets?

These brackets are engineered to accept two 3-inch cube pod lights per side, commonly used for auxiliary driving, flood, or combo beam pods. The mounting holes and plate size provide stable, vibration-resistant support for cube-style housings and many third-party light brands. Confirm your pod’s bolt pattern matches the bracket spacing before purchasing.

• Designed for 3" cube pod lights and similar-sized housings
• Multiple hole patterns to fit common tab and stud configurations
• Solid steel plate minimizes flex for steady aim on rough roads

Will the brackets resist rust and wear in outdoor conditions?

WeiSen uses premium solid steel with a black powder-coat finish to extend service life against chips, salt, and moisture. The powder coating provides a tougher protective layer than paint and helps maintain appearance over time. Routine inspection and touch-up of chips will further prolong corrosion resistance in harsh climates.

• Solid steel construction for strength and durability
• Black powder-coated surface for corrosion protection
• Hardware included; stainless or zinc-plated fasteners for environmental resistance

How will these brackets affect hood clearance and light aim?

The bracket positions lights just forward of the hood hinge, keeping them low-profile and aligned with the vehicle’s centerline for predictable aiming. Because mounting is factory-located, hood operation and clearance are preserved when installed correctly. Final aiming uses the pod light’s adjusters and the bracket’s stable base to achieve desired pattern and height.

• Low-profile placement reduces wind noise and drag
• Keeps hood operation and factory clearance intact
• Stable platform for repeatable aim with pod adjusters

Who is this for? If you drive a Toyota 4Runner 4th Gen (2003–2009) and want a clean, reversible way to add cube-style auxiliary lighting, the WeiSen hood hinge mount brackets are a practical choice. They suit overland rigs, daily drivers, and weekend off-roaders who want durable steel mounts, a bolt-on installation, and hardware included. Avoid these brackets if your light pods exceed 3" or your chosen mounts require custom fabrication.
