Rigid makes a few security kits that we offer that will work, or check out our friends at losspreventionfasteners.com they have some crazy options that will make stealing your lights such a pain in the ass!

I'm planning on putting a set of ditch lights on my TE. I'm going to use them more for throwing light forward than to the ditches. I'm torn between the Rigid D2 spots and hyper spots. Can any one give me an idea of the beam difference? Google has not been helpful in finding a picture to compare them.

Wow, these ditch lights are cool… guess that's another item to add to my shopping list!
BTW, years ago when I first got into off-roading, CA law said you had to have covers on your off-road lights when on the road. Is that still true?

I believe so. We do offer a full line of light covers for every Rigid Industries LED light we offer.

There is only the Rigid D2 Driving, Wide and Hyperspot. There is a Rigid Dually Spot tho. Here is the lux chart. For any forward facing light above the roof line, we highly recommend the tightest beam pattern you can find like the HYPERSPOT to minimize hood reflection.
Here is a lux chart showing the different beam patterns of the dually light series. Let us know if we can answer any questions!

This is great info! Thanks for the write up. I am leaning towards the 4.5" Vision X Light Cannons with the ditch brackets. Probably won't be able to pull the trigger for a little bit but I will be sure to check out Total Automotive!

We highly recommend the CBI Offroad line of products, including their ditch light mounts that we offer for $49 with the purchase of any light set.
A traditional ditch light would mount with around a 45 degree outward angle and feature some type of flood light to, well light up ditches. Most of our customers are using them with a forward facing light - for this application we recommend tighter spot & extreme spot lights for maximum effectiveness at this mounting height, as well as to avoid light splash onto the hood.
CBI Ditch Light Bracket for 2010+ 4Runner
Without a doubt our most popular combination is the Vision X 4.5" Light Cannon set Only $330 delivered! We will beat any price on VX ( CTL-CPZ110KIT) on a set of CBI Ditch Brackets (5th Gen PN - GEN54Runner). The round light look is clean.

@ mikey's2010SR5
Build.
If you like the round light look but would like something a little larger, or want a throwback look, be sure to check out the new 40w KC Hilites Pro-Sport Gravity 6" LED lights ( KC Part Number 643 - Spot Pair) with included oldschool KC light guards.
Speaking of KC Hilites, we saw their new FLEX LED system setup as a ditch-light on their Raptor. This new pair of dual 10w spot leds puts out a ton of light for the size and has a look like nothing else on the market. The anodized light bezels come in a variety of colors for a custom look. Youll need 2x Part Number KC 271, to get this look.
There isnt an LED light thread out there that doesnt mention the Rigid Industries brand and they have an array of options that work great in this position. If you like the size of the standard 2x2 dually, check out Rigids new Dually D2 Hyperspot which has a super tight, 5 degree beam for maximum distance in the ditch light position. Part number 50741 gets you a pair of the Rigid Hyperspot
Rigid Industries recently upped the LED cube game by releasing the bigger, badder brother to the Dually, the new Dually XL! Rigid 32241 is a pair of the above mentioned Hyperspot optic in a more powerful housing that is the optimum size for this location.
Leading the game in lighting technology in addition to Rigid is another US manufacturer based in San Diego - Baja Designs! These guys have been around for awhile now and are the number one choice among top offroad racers, sponsored or not! These are the most durable and longest lasting lights we offer - rated at IP69K with IK10 impact testing, used by the military / US Customs with ratings far exceeding the MIL-STD810G mil spec requirements.
Their smaller option for the 4runner a pillar mounts would be the 3x3 Squadron Sport SPOT Pair (PN 55-7801) @ 1800 lumens (Equal to a standard dually, but with much better optics that rival the Rigid hyperspot) or the Squadron Pro which pumps out an insane 4300 lumens (Pair Part Number 49-7801)
To get even more light down range, Baja Designs offers the XL Sport ( Spot Pair PN 56-7801) / XL-R Sport ( Spot Pair PN 57-7801) & XL Pro ( HS Spot Pair PN 50-7801) / XL-R Pro ( HS Spot PN 53-7809) models. The XL or XL-R (Round face) put out the light of an 8" HID with the smooth spread of an LED. With 4900 lumens per light, this is the brightest offroad LED light system this size on the market by far.
XL-R Pro
PN 56-7801 XL Sport Pair
Hella is a name that is well known in the racing and rally world. Their new Rallye 4000x 40w LED System is a super compact package pumping out a decent amount of light for the size. Its got a little wide of a pattern but has a pretty nice beam. Youll need 2x 012206021
Hopefully this gives you all some ideas as to what options are out there for this popular light mounting location. We are here to answer any questions you may have! Shoot us an email at Info@TotalAutoParts.net or PM us.

Forget the ditch lights, how about roof mounts for an LED light bar above the windshield that are low profile? Doesn't seem to be anyone that makes them. I'm wanting to get a 50" curved single bar but i want it mounted as close to "flush" as possible with the roof/upper windshield. I think you'd get some buy in from those of us who aren't running safari racks.

I know this is a 5th gen thread but curious if you have any fitment info for 3rd gens?
I'm concerned about fitment issues with the power antenna. I think the duallys from rigid fit fine, but I don't know about the other brands. I know the MRT equivalent of Vision X's light cannons rub on the whip antenna. This is something I don't want. Reference this thread:
