Hood Mount Clamps Brackets

Used these to mount my ditch lights on my hood. They are a cheap and easy option to mount ditch lights. I have had no issues with vibration and they hold in place well. They include all the necessary hardware and the rubber keeps you from scratching the paint on the hood.

Very durable and beautiful mounting brackets. Designed not to scratch the paint on your vehicle.

I bought these alongside the Nilight 2pcs 60w 4inch LED pods. It was a fairly easy install aside from a little struggle to get all 5 screws tight at the same time. I got the light mounted on pretty easily too, I was able to use the same screw that came with it and it fit without the washer and seemed to get tight enough. The problem came when I tried to close my hood. Unfortunately, it wouldn't close all the way because the bottoms of the screws hit a plastic piece which runs the entire width of the hood to hold a rubber seal. It's a small gap and I didn't have any room to back the mount away from the edge either. Overall great product, just doesn't fit on my truck.

Was a buy from my brother to use on his truck. I’ve not heard complaints or issues. So I assume everything fit and holds and works well. Felt pretty heavy and sturdy for sure

Super easy to install but the allen wrench that come with them are garbage. They strip before you can finish tightening the mounts and if you have to move them or adjust them you will need to buy or have onhand another allen wrench not made out of soft metal. Other than that they look good but I can not use them on my Tundra. If your hood is not straight accross and level, if it has any type of dip or curve where these brackets would mount then your lights wont sit level and look awkward. The mounts have an adjustment for the lights up and down, but nothing for side to side.

my curved light bar was a little too short to work on my truck in the area that I wanted so I purchased these to mount it to the bonnet...works very well no complaints.

Super

I purchased these mounting brackets to attach two fog/driving lights to my Mazda5 for additional lighting and better visibility in foggy conditions. I really had a good experience with Nilight products in the past and figured why take a chance when reviews on similar products complain about corrosion and mounts loosening up or detaching from vehicles. When I first mounted the bracket and attached the light, all was great and alignment looked doable. Drove 14 hours in the Thanksgiving rush to pick up my kid from school. Mount stayed secure but the center of the beam hit about 5-10 ft in front of the car. So the next day I went to adjust the light and realized I was at my light’s vertical limit so the slope of hood was too much for the pods. Not great but my fault not Nilight’s. I disassembled the mount and then my disappointment began. First, the knurled Allen head bolt to mount the light to the bracket went through the rubber pad and created a circular scratch through the clear coat and paint. This product clearly needs either something to limit or block the bolt from being driven beyond the upper metal bracket. This could easily be accomplished with another thin metal plate inside the rubber cover or fabricating the plate so the bolt bottoms out. Another fix is to press or weld a stud to the plate and use a nut to mount the light. Additionally, the lower plate actually created an indentation under my hood where it was secured. So overall, it’s easy to install, and holds a 4” pod very securely. Unfortunately, mounting options are limited to a nearly flat horizontal surface and may damage your vehicle’s finish. Now I get to go look for another mounting option and buy some touch up paint before it starts to form a layer of rust.
