Let's talk ditch light brackets.

inspired by this thread
https://www.4runners.com/threads/lets-talk-front-steel-bumpers.46521/
and the great information sharing I figured a healthy conversation around ditch light brackets would be good.

I have been combing the previous conversations in an attempt to
1) document all the different types of ditch light brackets
2) learn what makes a $100 pair of brackets "better" than the $12 generic versions.

So far this is what I have found:

I know there is a fair amount of brand loyalty for some of the above solutions, and then there is less enthusiasm for others.

My question(s):
Did I miss a solution?
What solution did you use and why?

 

MinWin3D has a set of under mirror mounts. They don't look goofy like all the others. Those hood mount ones remind me of Cornholio Beavis.

Thanks for the suggestion, I took note of it in the knowledge sharing document.
