Pod lights for 2022 TB “refreshed”

[az2022tbgblue]

I recently went to rough country and ordered some pod lights/ ditch lights to be attached near the back of my hood near the passenger and driver side windshield… I realized just AFTER they were shipped talking to CS at Rough Country they will NOT work for a refreshed TB… he tried to explain it but, it went over my head… anyways, does anyone know a company that sells these lights to fit and work on a refreshed TB?

Are these the ones you're talking about? I know it says it won't fit the Refreshed but a couple of the comments say they do...

I believe so. It was SKU#70841

Yeah, I saw about four to five buyers said it did but. Rough Country said it did not. I could remember if he said it was the brackets or something to do with the wiring… I tried to cancel them but the just arrived today!

Here is the wiring instructions

I attempted to install these and they will fit with brackets they come with but, I could not figure out how to run the switch from the engine compartment to cab of truck… to make matters worse, I loss the hood hinge nut in the engine compartment!!! I called everywhere and no one not even the dealership carries it… so, I researched it and found it was a M8-1.25 flanged hex nut. I found it at an auto parts store for $4 for 4 of them. Lesson I guess learned.

I installed those lights. This might help you. There is an easy way to fish through the firewall. There was a conversation about it but this was the post that said how I went through. Let me know if you need more details.

Thoughts on these? I went to an off-road store and they suggested these so I don’t have to deal with firewall

I used the wireless LED remote control switch from rough country for my grill lights. Worked great so far and didn’t have to run anything into cab.

I’m getting mine installed on 3/27. I’ll let you know.

I have these installed on my truck, I can provide pictures on how and where to run wires into cab for the switch if anyone needs them? Pretty easy to get wires into the cab on these trucks..

I do not prefer that location for Ditch Lights. And, with magnetic mounts I can point them in whatever direction is good for Off Road Recovery work. So I went with these: (The 60W each is 5,400 lumens, or 900,000 candlepower at 50 feet.)

And the magnetic mounts actually cost more than the lights. But together it's still less than $100:

12V Power can be had at Unused Location F5 in the pax side fuse box:

... using a Micro2 FuseTap connector:

I like 'em, and I store the lights in a bag and in a Tub in the bed. (I also have a CB antenna mag-mount and Yellow Flashing bar.)

How did the install go?

Just a heads up. I have the same lights and love them. But...... this is hard to believe because the mount seems so ridged but its not. I have well over 2,000 off road miles on my truck. Apparently when I am out beating on it they flex enough that the bottom of the mounting stud hits the hood and has made round scratches on both sides. Not a big deal but if you want to protect that beautiful blue paint you might consider coating the bottom of the stud with something soft.
