Some extended R&D on these ditch light brackets. The manufacturer (CATUNEDOFFROAD) did an incredible job with the design of these, however some trimming on the hood cowl needs cut down to get the brackets to not hit when opening/closing the hood. These are meant for a 2024+ LC. I’m about 95% done with the cutting needed. In talks with the owner to help clean up the section that is cut, but if you have a steady hand and some patience it’s not really necessary. Happy with the result. Will be taken to powdercoat before installing the ditch lights.

Pulling this from another thread where I posted the info about getting these LC ditch light brackets to work on the GX.
These brackets are from CAtuned offroad. There is some modification (trimming of the cowl) needed to allow these to work. Because of the cowl being wider on the GX vs the LC that space for the bracket to clear the cowl isn’t there on the GX. Sounds confusing. I will attach a pic of what I’m talking about. (Pics above this post) This is a bit of undertaking and not everyone will be okay with cutting up there vehicle, but the results are the best on the market in my opinion. I’ll also include some more close ups of the completed look. You can’t even see the trimming that I did to make the brackets work so they wouldn’t hit the cowl when opening and closing the hood. It took me some time to get it to be perfect.
Final results before powder coat.
