Seems like you’re the only one who drives at night.

I know a lot of states/areas, it is illegal to have them lit while on the road, thus the covers for all the off road lights installed above the headlights. I never heard the term "ditch lights" myself. I was thinking of the spotlights you can move and adjust on the fly when you first posted. Obviously I don't know of anyone who makes brackets. depending on where they mount you proably could design/make your own.

I had to look up the term "Ditch lights". Personally I'm not a fan of lights above and behind the front of the hood line. If the weather is foggy, snowing, or just dusty they make vision worse and the color of the vehicle can exacerbate the glare.

And as stated some jurisdictions require them to have covers over them while on public roads. Which may be okay in your area but all it takes is one trip to a different county to receive a nice ticket.

Rock lights or ditch lights are normally used off road. To the OP , it doesn't look like it would be that hard to make your own.
