Only issue I see.....is how the outside A pillar is the door on 93+ rangers. So you'd be opening the door with the light.

I do know that you can mount police style spot lights on rangers with a ranger install kit....a mod on my to-do list.

even with the door being the a pillar i dont think it would be a problem if the doors arnt slammed you kno?

i just think the hard part would be is figuring out a way to make a bracket for the light itself since we dont have bolts like the wrangler does

I think it has potential to look pretty sweet. Specially if you have fogs already on your truck.

why not try to mount the light on the front side of the mirror, like flush mounting, or something kind of like the new FJ mirrors.
