Gen 2 Chevy Colorado Ditch Light Mounts

2015–2022 Chevy Colorado / GMC Canyon Ditch Light Mounts — Hood Hinge Bolt-On — Pair

Custom-designed ditch light mounts made specifically for 2nd Generation Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon trucks. These mounts install using the existing hood hinge bolts, so no drilling or permanent modification is required.

Perfect for mounting auxiliary lighting such as ditch lights, cube lights, or small light pods for improved trail and roadside visibility.
