RIGID Industries A-Pillar Light Mount Kit for 2021+ Ford F-150

If you just picked up a 2021 or newer Ford F-150 or Raptor and you want real lighting up high without hacking into your truck, the RIGID Industries 46736 A-pillar mount kit is where a clean install starts. It's a vehicle-specific pair of brackets that sits at the base of the windshield A-pillars and holds one auxiliary light on each side, aiming the beam out over the hood and into the trail, the trees, or the job site ahead of you.

Here's the part worth being clear about up front. This is the mount, not the lights. You get a set of two brackets and the hardware to install them, and you add your own RIGID pod lights, one per side. That's how most A-pillar setups work, and it lets you pick the pods that match how you drive, whether that's a wide flood for camp and work or a tighter spot for high-speed desert runs.

The brackets are built from stainless steel and finished in black powder coat. On a truck that lives outside and gets rained on, salted in winter, and blasted with trail dust, that combination matters. Stainless doesn't rust the way plain steel does, and the black powder coat gives it a factory-clean look that disappears against the truck instead of shouting aftermarket. Mount one light per side and the whole setup reads like it could have rolled off the line that way.

Because the kit is cut specifically for the 2021 and newer F-150 and Raptor A-pillar, the fit is dialed in for that windshield line. It ships with the mounting hardware you need, and you follow RIGID's included instructions to bolt everything down at the pillar. That vehicle-specific approach is the whole point. A universal clamp can slip, rattle, or leave you drilling in the wrong spot. A mount made for your exact truck goes on straight and stays put.

So who actually runs A-pillar lights? Overlanders who need to light up a two-track at night. Hunters and ranchers crossing fields long after sunset. Off-road crews who want the trail lit well beyond what the factory headlights reach. Work trucks pulling into dark lots and job sites where a little extra flood makes hooking up a trailer or finding a tool a lot less of a fumble. Anyone who has driven a dark backroad and wished for more light out past the hood knows exactly why these mounts exist.

A quick note on what this isn't. It's not a universal bracket, so it won't fit older F-150 body styles or other trucks. It's not a light bar mount either. Each bracket is made to carry a single pod light, so plan your build around one light per pillar rather than a big bar up top. And again, the pods themselves are a separate purchase, so budget for the lights and the wiring when you order.

Installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable with basic hand tools. The brackets locate at the factory A-pillar area, the included stainless hardware handles the mount, and from there it's a matter of bolting your pods to the brackets and routing the wiring back to a switch and your power source. Take your time with the wiring, use a relay and an inline fuse, and tuck the harness so it isn't rubbing against a moving edge. Done once and done right, this is a mount you set and forget.

RIGID Industries has built its name on off-road LED lighting that holds up to abuse, and their vehicle-specific mounts are cut to the same standard. The 46736 kit lets you add that lighting to a late-model F-150 the right way, with hardware that fits, a finish that lasts, and a clean look that respects the truck you just paid for. Bolt the brackets on, drop in your pods, run the wiring, and you've got serious light on tap the next time the sun goes down.
