So for those of you who have a thing for Exterior Illumination, how did you aim your Ditch/A Pillar Lights? I'm thinking I want to point mine off to the side a pinch, but I wasn't sure how much? I'm just trying to figure out the most efficient way to use the current setup on my truck.

It’s not like you’ve got a Raptor with freakin’ lasers, there will be some side spill, even on a spot beam. I’d point them pretty darn straight, and that’s what I did for my spots.

I get that, just curious what others have done. I've never had ditch lights so I'm just getting a feeler for what others do.

Roger that. I think using them offset from front would be an inefficient use of your lighting overall. You want the powerful lights pushing out further, if you need infill lighting or angled / spill light, I’d address that with either the bumper mount lights or pick up some smaller cubes like the BD s1’s and go for a wide angle lens.
