Overview
The Poison Spyder 45-28-020 is a hawse fairlead light mount that gives winch-equipped vehicles two additional auxiliary light mounting locations. It installs behind most hawse-type winch fairleads and is designed to accept most aftermarket auxiliary lights.
The mount can help on Jeeps with aftermarket bumpers, such as the Trail Stinger, where bumper-mounted auxiliary lights can be knocked out of position.
The mount is CNC laser cut from 3/16-inch plate steel and finished in a textured black powder coat for corrosion resistance. Poison Spyder says installation is extremely simple, requiring only simple tools. Complete installation instructions are included.

Choosing auxiliary lights
Auxiliary lights on a winch-equipped Jeep are often used for work at night, so the beam pattern matters as much as brightness. A spot pattern reaches farther down a trail, while a flood pattern lights the area close to the bumper. Mixing one of each can give a useful balance for winching and trail driving.
Weight and mounting strength should also be considered. A light that is heavier than the mount’s bolts were designed for can work loose, so check the fasteners after the first few outings. Keep the wiring short and protected, since the front of the vehicle is where rocks and water hit first.
- Choose a spot, flood or combination beam pattern
- Use sealed housings and connectors
- Check mounting bolts after the first few outings
- Route wiring away from the winch cable path
