Does anyone have a pair of these aux light brackets? Apparently they're only available from Qtec. I like them because there's no need for a light bar but I'm wondering if they shake when you drive??? It really bugs me to see the light beam bouncing around!

i got the measurments for these from a member and made a set. they did vibrate a lot when driving. especially on dirt roads where i needed them the most. I cut a small piece of plastic pipe and put it between the bottom of the bracket/bolt on the light and the plastic behind the bumper and it stopped the vibration.
mind you the ones i made are made of a thinner steel then the real ones.

I installed a set of these about a year ago and have had no issues with the lights shaking or moving.

I have a set of LightForce 170's mounted on these brackets. Initially they did vibrate a little bit, but I moved them very slightly on the lower rad mounting bar and also slipped some rubber bumpers below the tabs. The vibration is gone now. For the money, this is a good way to mount a pair of lights.

This is the exact setup I have. I couldn't be happier. Next I'm going to see if I can squeeze another set of these on there.
