See More Beyond the Headlights: Ditch Lights PRO for the Ranger Raptor

[MandRonline]

Hey Ranger6G,

For anyone looking to improve visibility beyond what the factory headlights cover, we wanted to share our M&R Automotive Ditch Lights PRO for the 2024+ Ford Ranger Raptor.

The PRO setup uses a pair of 40W LED pods with a driving beam pattern. Both pods are fully adjustable, so you can point them farther forward for additional light down the trail or angle them outward to illuminate the sides of the truck and help spot obstacles, animals, or drop-offs.

A few highlights:

• Pair of 40W PRO LED pods
• Fits 2024–2026 Ford Ranger Raptor
• Driving beam pattern
• Fully adjustable pods
• White main beam with amber DRL backglow
• Low-profile vehicle-specific brackets
• No cutting or drilling required
• Hood and windshield wipers maintain full operation
• Connects to the factory AUX wiring when equipped
• Powder-coated metal brackets
• Lifetime warranty
• Off-road use only

For trail driving, we really like the ability to aim these outward and fill in the areas the headlights don't reach. You get a much better view around the sides of the truck without needing another large light bar.

For the Ranger Raptor owners here, how would you aim yours — mostly forward for extra distance or outward for wider trail coverage?

I want the pods angled out. I was just looking at your pod mount yesterday. I like the design better than the hood mounted ones. I was concerned that since I have the Redline hood struts that open the hook more than the rod that the pods might get in the way. Do you think that would be a problem?

I have the same concern.

For anyone considering the Ditch Lights PRO setup for the 2024+ Ranger Raptor, here’s an install video showing how everything comes together.

It’s a good look at how the brackets and pods mount, along with what’s involved in getting everything wired up while keeping the finished setup clean and low-profile.



Hope this helps anyone considering the setup or planning to tackle the install themselves!

We don’t think there should be any issues since our design accommodates hood being open at factory level. Don’t foresee any issues with fitment for your application.

Has anyone tried these lights and mounts on a non raptor ranger? The hood looks to be the same on the lower trim levels as it does on the ranger raptors.

I watched the video on your site. It is very close at factory height. With the Redline hood structs it opens much more than "factory level". The structs are a popular upgrade. I might try it with some spacers

Here’s a couple pics to see if M&R can confirm fitment with the Redline Hood Struts.
