Can anyone point me in the direction of some low-profile ditch lights?

OP - I was in your same scenario. I wanted something as stealthy as possible. So I went with the Rough Country 3.5” round Black Series with amber DRL. Probably the least obtrusive ditch lights available.

It hurts my soul seeing 50% of ditch lights pointed straight ahead.

... If only there was some sort of direction provided in the name or something simple...

To be fair, I think some people have them installed with a very slight angle to the sides, so they may appear to be straight, but really aren't.

All day.... I like Amber, but could do work scene whites...

I love the idea of ditch lights - I do however need to ask, as I consider what I want to put on my a pillars, can anyone please post how they look from inside the Bronco? I keep a Performance tune module attached on my dashboard lower left, and between that, the a pillar itself, and the rear-view mirror, the blind spot in that area can get troublesome sometimes. I'm wondering how much more view-blocking happens if you install lights on them.

Also, I really like BajaDesigns but have to say I like that Morimoto bracket that seems to be set-back a bit so the light is very close to the a pillar itself. Baja do you have any mounting brackets that are similar in function?

I went with the Diode Dynamics SSC2 Pro on my Raptor for low profile. I eventually swapped them for the SS3 Pods but the SSC2 did get the job done.

I love these. I've got to figure out if these will work with my gmrs antenna mount though. I'm using this Rugged Radio's mount with the Midland ghost antenna: https://www.ruggedradios.com/collec...t-for-new-ford-bronco-driver-side-view-mirror

I have the Baja Designs S2, love them! I found the antenna bracket on amazon, don't love it, its started to corrode.

People poo-poo cheap LEDs, and usually for good reason, but I'm putting these as ditch lights to replace my current cubes. I had them in my mod bumper originally and really liked them. Slim and pump out a lot of light.

Title. Trying to stay as stock looking as possible, but have been doing some night trail driving and I'm in obvious need of more lighting.

PIAA, on my Oxford White Bronc. Believe their the "530 series". Hook-up a snap for electrical non-geniuses like me. Designed originally for front bumps but look stock sitting on the cowl, so I've been told by many. Round in form, "no square or rectangular baloney" they align and as well compliment the round headlights on the grille. NOT understated, but what is on a Bronc. Oh, their LED to boot. Sorry no pic's yet, pray coming soon. Tommy Bronc

I’m going this route with Baja S2 Flush Mount:

Finally remembered to get you guys a pic. This is the antenna bracket I need to work around. It should not be an issue for me to mount a LED bracket on top of the Rugged Radios antenna bracket using some longer screws. But I'd definitely need to find a bracket that would work with the two factory screw holes. If anyone has any recs, please let me know!

I think I'm going to attempt to get the DD SSC2 Pro's to fit with my existing antenna setup. It sounds like "combo" would be best for ditch specific lighting. That sound right?

Yes. The lenses are interchangeable, so it doesn't really matter.

So I ended up going crazy and ordered the DD SSC3 Bronco ditch light kit, a set of SSC2’s, and a set of SSC1’s. I just finally determined I’m going to have to mock up all 3 models on my driver side to see which will work with my gmrs antenna and send the other back. I also grabbed a set of the morimoto brackets that set the lights a bit back from the mirrors just in case the sandard brackets won’t work. I’ll report back once everything gets delivered and I can begin my scientific research.
