RIGID Industries 46752 A-Pillar Light Mount, 2024+ Ford Ranger

The RIGID 46752 is a purpose-built A-pillar mount for the 2024 and newer Ford Ranger. It's a set of two black brackets that bolt to the base of each A-pillar and put a RIGID 4-inch pod on either side of the windshield. If you've been running your Ranger with lights zip-tied to a bar or crammed into the bumper, this is the clean, factory-matched way to get real light up high and aimed where you're looking.

Mounting up on the A-pillars does a few things a bumper light can't. The pods sit above the hood line, so you kill the glare that bounces back off your own sheet metal on a dark trail. You get a wider throw across the trail edges, which is exactly what you want for spotting a washout or an animal stepping out at the last second. And because the brackets are tucked tight against the pillar, you're not adding a big wind-catching bar across the roof or losing your approach angle up front.

These brackets are cut and bent specifically for the 2024+ Ranger's pillar geometry, so they line up with the vehicle's mounting points instead of forcing you to eyeball it. The kit is a bolt-on job, and RIGID includes the mounting hardware in the box. Most folks have both sides on in about an hour with basic hand tools. Snug everything down, aim your pods, and route your wiring back through the firewall or along the existing harness path.

The mount is built to take a beating. It's stainless steel under a black powder-coat finish, so it shrugs off the weather, road grime, and the occasional branch swipe without turning into a rust streak down your paint. The finish keeps it looking like it came from the factory, not like an afterthought bolted to the outside of the truck.

Light compatibility is the part people ask about most, so let's be clear. This mount is designed for RIGID's 4-inch pods: the 360 Series, the D-Series, the D-SS, and the Radiance pods. That covers most of the popular RIGID ditch-light setups. Each bracket holds one pod, so the set of two gives you a matched pair, one per side. Pick your beam pattern based on how you drive. Spot pattern reaches way down the trail, flood spreads it wide and close, and a driving or combo pattern splits the difference for mixed use.

One quick tip before you run your final wiring. A-pillar brackets like these are typically side-specific, so hold each one up to its pillar and confirm the fit before you torque everything down. It's a two-minute check that saves you from pulling a bracket back off after the wire's already run.

Who's this for? Overlanders who want a tidy ditch-light setup without hacking up the truck. Weekend trail guys who are tired of squinting past their headlights. Work-truck owners running gravel roads and job sites before sunrise. Anybody who's added a light bar and realized they still had a dark hole right at the edges of the road. Ditch lights on the A-pillars fill that gap, and they do it without blinding oncoming traffic the way a poorly aimed roof bar can.

A couple of honest notes. This is a mount only, so the pods and any wiring harness or switch are sold separately. Get your lights sorted first so you can drop them straight in. And take a minute to aim them right once they're up. A-pillar lights point slightly outboard by design, and a few degrees of adjustment makes the difference between lighting up the trail and lighting up your own hood. Bolt them up, aim them true, and you'll wonder how you drove at night without them.
