Rigid Industries 46808 A-Pillar LED Light Kit, 2022+ Toyota Tundra

Rigid Industries built the 46808 A-pillar kit for one truck and one truck only: the 2022 and newer Toyota Tundra. That focus is the whole point. The stainless steel brackets are cut and bent to bolt onto the Tundra's factory A-pillar locations, so the lights end up sitting exactly where you want them, high and forward, throwing light out past your headlights instead of down at your bumper. No universal clamp, no guessing at angles, no hunting for a flat spot that doesn't exist.

Each housing packs eight clear LEDs behind a clear lens, rated at 72 watts and pulling 3.1 amps at 14 volts. That works out to 5544 raw lumens of output. In plain terms, that's a lot of usable light for a compact pod. The rectangular housing measures 3 inches tall by 3.8 inches wide, small enough to tuck against the pillar without eating into your sightlines or looking like an afterthought. Rigid's optics are a big reason people pay up for the name, and this pod runs a clean, even beam with no dark holes or hot spots that wash out your depth perception.

A-pillar lights earn their keep the second you leave pavement. Cresting a dark two-track, picking a line through a wash, spotting eyes on the shoulder before they spot you. Because they mount high and aim wide, they fill in the dead space your headlights leave on either side of the truck. Guys running gravel roads, hunting leases, and backcountry trails use these to see the corner before they're in it. And it's not just a trail toy. Contractors and utility crews mount A-pillar lights to flood a work area beside the truck without climbing up to a roof bar, and pointing one toward your hitch while backing to a trailer in the dark makes that job a whole lot easier.

The mounting hardware is stainless for a reason. A-pillar brackets take a beating from vibration, washboard roads, and years of weather. Cheap steel rusts and shakes loose. Stainless holds up. It's still worth a dab of threadlocker on the bracket bolts and a re-check after your first few hard runs, since anything mounted out on a pillar sees more shake than a roof bar. That's just good practice, not a knock on the kit.

Here's where the black and yellow covers come in. You get a pair of each. The black covers snap over the lens when the lights are off, protecting the clear optic from rock chips, UV, and trail debris. The yellow covers do something different. They turn the beam a selective amber, which cuts back-glare in dust, fog, and falling snow. Amber light scatters less off airborne particles, so on a dusty two-track the yellow covers can actually help you see better even though raw output drops a bit. Swap them based on conditions and leave the black ones on for the drive to the trailhead.

Wiring is handled too. The kit includes a harness, so you're not sourcing your own connectors and relays to get power from the battery to a switch. Plan your switch location, run the harness cleanly along existing looms, and fuse it properly. If you're comfortable with basic 12 volt work you can knock this out in an afternoon. If you're not, any competent shop will have it done in an hour.

A couple of honest notes. These are auxiliary lights, so aim them and use them responsibly, and check your local rules before running them on public roads, since bright forward lighting is regulated in a lot of places. And this exact kit is Tundra-specific. If you've got a different truck the light itself might work, but these brackets won't. For a 2022+ Tundra owner who wants clean, high-mounted, factory-fit auxiliary lighting from a name that stands behind it, the 46808 is about as close to plug-and-play as A-pillar lights get.
