Into the bed
Aim it in

Into the bed

Light the bed, the box, or your gear.

Out to camp
Aim it out

Out to camp

Swing the same light out to the tailgate or the campsite.

One light:Turn it a full 360°. It covers more ground and stays where you aim it.

The mounts

Built to move

Mount the light where a flat light can't point the right way: a door, a rack, a roll bar, a ceiling. Each mount clamps onto an end cap, and the wire runs through the axle, so the light and mount look like one piece.

  • Turns a full 360°, so one light covers more area.
  • Silicone bushings hold a firm friction fit, so it stays where you aim it.
  • The bushings won't rot or break down over time.

    Run the light's wire through one mount's axle and seat the end cap. Slide the other mount onto the far end.

  2. 2

    Tighten the Allen screw in each mount (3/32" key) to clamp the light. Do not use threadlocker.

  3. 3

    Stick the mounts down with the 3M VHB tape, or screw them down. Then aim it.

You'll need a 3/32" Allen key (not included), and a Phillips screwdriver if you use the screws.

Full product description

Turn any F-Series light a full 360°. Aim it into the bed, out the back or down at the tailgate.

Each mount clamps onto an end cap, and silicone bushings hold it where you aim it. They won't rot or break down over time.

In the box: 2 Search Mounts (pre-assembled), 2 Allen-head clamp screws, 8 countersunk screws and 2 pieces of 3M VHB tape.

Fits the F-Series 12", 28" and 40". One kit per light. You'll need a 3/32" Allen key (not included). Light sold separately.

Questions

Good questions, short answers

Every F-Series light: 12", 28" and 40". V-Series lights have rotation built in, so they don't use Search Mounts.

One kit per light. Each kit has 2 mounts, one for each end, and fits any F-Series length.

A full 360°. Point the light into the bed, out the back, or down at the tailgate. One light covers more ground.

Yes. Silicone bushings give it a firm friction fit, so it stays where you aim it. They won't rot or break down over time.

About 1" longer overall (about 1/2" at each end), and about 1.375" tall instead of 0.85" when mounted flat.

Yes, but take the light down first. The mounts clamp onto the light's end caps, then the mounts go on your surface.

Both come in the box. Use the 3M VHB tape for a clean install with no holes, or the 8 countersunk screws for a hard mount.

No. Tape and screws come in the box. The 3M VHB tape holds on glass, topper doors and smooth panels if you prep the spot: clean it, scuff it lightly, wipe it with rubbing alcohol, then wipe on 3M Primer 94. Most toppers also have a reinforced ceiling for mounting lights. Carpet-lined caps have plywood under the carpet, so use the screws there.

Yes. Each mount has larger countersunk holes on its center line that line up with T-slot rails. Bring your own T-slot hardware, since channel sizes vary.

2 years from the ship date. Send a photo or video of the install and the issue, and we'll replace it or credit you.
