Hinge Lights

[DjMojon]

Has anyone installed any S2 lights on their hardtop hinges. I'm looking at this set from Turn Off Road (https://turnoffroad.com/products/2021-ford-bronco-oem-hard-top-hinge-light-bracket) and will probably use some Diode Dynamics lights. I'm curious to know how people have installed them. Where are you wiring them to, and how are you unplugging them when removing the roof.

Turnoffroad doesn't have any documentation on their website. The mounts look like a good idea, but the lack of documentation isn't a good sign. They removed the video that used to be on their site. How they route the wires is unclear.

As far as connectors. There are some good kits on Amazon for weather proof connectors.

I’ve consider picking up the mounts for the rear hinges, the video I watched has them routing the wiring under the weather stripping for the rear glass.

I don't know if they still have the image posted. But I captured this awhile back as I thought it was a lapse in truth in advertising. "...Without drilling, cutting, or modifying your HT". - just ignore the janky drill holes in the hinge cover to accommodate the wire.

Hi OP. I did this very mod a couple of weeks ago. Used S2 lights mounted on @Turnoffroad hinge brackets.

I opted to route the wire down the outer side of each hinge and went under the weatherstripping. Joined both light pigtails into one connector and used the ground behind the passenger side panel. Used a Deustch connector to be able to disconnect lights and remove the top.

This wiring diagram was extremely helpful. Pic of my Bronco with lights freshly installed.

Here’s my Bronco during a wheeling trip last weekend. Lights held up just fine and did not loosen up at all.
FYI you won’t be able to use the hardware provided with the S2s (bolt is too thick), but the hardware provided by turn works just fine. I had to add a washer because like a dum dum I tried to use the thicker bolt and drilled out the slot on the bracket.

This is exactly what I was looking for. It looks awesome!
