Nilight Ditch Light Brackets for Dodge RAM 1500/2500/3500 2009–2018 — No-Drill Matte Black Forged Steel

Nilight Ditch Light Brackets securely mount aftermarket LED lights to the hood of 2009–2018 Dodge RAM 1500 and 2010–2018 RAM 2500/3500 trucks without drilling.

These hood-mount brackets give RAM owners a clean, factory-style way to add ditch and auxiliary lighting. Forged steel construction, enlarged bolt patterns, and a matte black finish let you attach 2"–7" LED lights using existing hood bolt locations. The brackets come as a pair with spare hardware for a straightforward, reversible installation that preserves the truck's sheetmetal.

How do these brackets attach to my Dodge RAM without drilling?

The Nilight brackets are designed to use the vehicle's existing hood bolt holes so you don't need to drill or modify the hood. Each bracket installs using factory screws and aligns with the original mounting points, preserving fit and finish.

• Fits factory hood bolt holes on 2009–2018 RAM 1500 and 2010–2018 RAM 2500/3500.
• No cutting or drilling required—uses OEM fastener locations.
• Includes spare screws to simplify installation or replacement.

What sizes and light types will these mounts support?

Nilight enlarged the bracket holes and thickened the body so they accept a broad range of LED lights and screw sizes. They accommodate most round and rectangular lights from approximately 2 inches up to 7 inches, fitting common M6, M8 and M10 hardware.

• Compatible with 2"–7" LED pods, cubes, and small bars.
• Holes sized for M6, M8, and M10 bolts for flexible mounting options.
• Thicker steel construction supports heavier aftermarket lights.

Are these brackets durable and how do they stand up to weather?

Manufactured from heavy forged steel and CNC-formed for precise fit, the brackets are finished with an electrophoresis coating and a thick black powder coat to resist corrosion and chipping. Smooth edges and a pressed design reduce stress points so the mounts stay secure under daily driving conditions.

• Heavy forged steel body for added strength and load capacity.
• Electrophoresis base coat plus thick matte powder coat for long-lasting finish.
• CNC-formed precision and smooth edges to prevent wear on mounting hardware.

What comes in the package and what should I expect during installation?

The kit ships with two mounting brackets and spare screws so you can attach lights to both sides of the hood quickly. Installation is a simple three- to five-step process using basic hand tools, and it can typically be completed without removing additional body panels.

• Package includes two brackets and extra screws for each side.
• Use common hand tools: ratchet, sockets, and a torque wrench if desired.
• Installation time generally under an hour for one person familiar with basic mechanics.

Who is this for: These brackets are intended for Dodge RAM 1500 owners (2009–2018) and RAM 2500/3500 owners (2010–2018) who want a sturdy, no-drill solution for adding ditch or auxiliary lighting. They suit owners upgrading to larger aftermarket LEDs, those who prefer a reversible OEM-style fit, and anyone who needs a heavy-duty mount built to withstand road and weather exposure while keeping a clean factory look.
