Hardware, Mounts & Brackets
About Hardware, Mounts & Brackets
A light is only as steady as the bracket holding it. Mounts keep bars and pods fixed at the right angle and stop them from vibrating loose on rough trails.
The listings here include light bar mounts for the RZR, an A-pillar light mount bracket and a light bar bracket for Polaris, a Vision X shock mount for a 12 inch light bar on Can-Am, and a tube mount for light bars. Clamp-style driving light mounts are listed with size ranges, such as 21-29 mm and 50-60 mm. Choose by where the light will sit, such as the roof, A-pillar, bumper or cage tube, and measure the tube or bracket location against the size range in the listing. A shock mount is meant to cut vibration to the light. Pick your machine in the Ride Finder at the top of the page for model-specific brackets.
Brands here include Custom Dynamics, Rigid Industries, Vision X, Denali and Seizmik. For related parts, see Lenses, Sockets, Connectors & Wiring and Headlight Assemblies, all part of Lighting & Lamps.
FAQs on light mounts and brackets
How do I know a light bar mount will fit my cage tube?
Measure the outside diameter of the tube where the mount will clamp, then compare it with the size or range in the listing. Check the mount style too, since some are made for a particular model such as the Polaris RZR or Can-Am.
Why does my light bar vibrate or work loose?
Common causes are loose hardware, a mount that flexes under a long bar, or a mounting surface that is not solid. Tighten the hardware to the maker's specification, support longer bars at both ends, and consider a shock mount.
Where should I mount a light bar on a side-by-side?
Common spots are the front edge of the roof, the A-pillar and the bumper. A roof position gives long reach and less dust glare, and a low position lights the ground. Make sure the beam does not reflect off the hood.
Do I need to aim lights after mounting them?
Yes. Park on level ground, point the lights where you want the beam and make sure they do not glare into other riders' eyes. Tighten the mount once aimed, and recheck it after the first ride.
