Baja Designs: General Discussion Thread

They make a kit that is plug and play with mounts for factory slots. I believe it's like 80 bucks. I ended up going with an aftermarket switch like the one I posted above and will hard wire it outside of the plug and play option so I can keep my fogs on when the high beams are on.

Here's the kit you'll need https://www.bajadesigns.com/product...-Current-Tundra-14-Current-Fog-Pocket-Kit.asp

Good luck

 

You'll need the mounting kit to put them in with the stock bumper. I have the same setup and love it.

 

Thanks for the tips, Yes stock bumper. What lights did you both use? Did you both do the fog light anytime mod?

 

Squadron Sport, wide/cornering

Anything else might be too bright for normal driving.

 

Jonathan, Do you plan to use this switch in place of the current stock switch? Keep me posted on how it works I like how its illuminated.

 

The S2 Pro lights mounted in my 4X Innovations rear bumper.

The light spread of the work/flood S2 Pro lights is quite spectacular. Due to the design of the bumper, the lights do not sit flush with my bumper. They are recessed by approx 0.75". I have a feeling the light spread would be even greater if the lights sat flush with the rear bumper.

 

Yeah I plan on using this switch or something like it in place of the switch on the turn signal or the switch that comes with the Baja designs harness. Unfortunately no one has been successful at figuring out how to anytime fog light mod the 3rd gens. I ordered the switch and the squadron sport so that I can use them when the high beams are on. Also I don't need the factory mounting kit because I have ordered the CBI T3 front bumper which I will install them in. Ill let you know once its all done. The bumper should be here in a week or two and the lights next week.

Heres what I ordered

Just got my Squadron Pros in factory fog location. Wow, its bright! I'm impressed, the lumen rating is no BS. Hard to believe so much light in such a small package. Granted I have driving combo lens, not sure if it be street friendly even with wide cornering. When I get my hands on the S8 30", plan to change out to wide amber which is not road legal anyway.

 

Just installed the two Squadron Pros in the new grille. Now that I have successfully scorched the tips of the pine trees while driving by, I have come to the conclusion that I may need to adjust down. Gonna have to add some washers to this grill mount so I have more room to play. These things are way brighter than expected. May have to get a set for the fog and ditch lights as well.

 

I appreciate the thought. Never considered it dismissive in any way. Its just that I work at night and I live way out in the boonies so my cell reception is spotty at best and I usually do business like this on the internet at work where there is no problem with reception. I've considered calling before I left work but no one is in their office at 0715 Texas time so I would have wait around for someone to get into the office and I'm usually beat after 12hrs of work. I'm the Night Charge Nurse on a Skilled Nursing Unit. Again not dismissive just awkward with the time that I work.

 

Sorry to jump in but I can feel for this. I so often hear about just calling because the service is great, but I live in Germany. I end up having to do 99% of business via email, this forum, or what's app. Makes for s difficult situation, but not a lot of options.

 

^^ Yes its just one of the things about working a night shift than driving home to the country where cell phone service is pretty shabby. It does suck. I usually wait until I have to make several phone calls to several places like to get my insurance renewed, which I do a year at a time. All of my bills are autopaid online. Its just easier to do it this way. But I do understand getting things done faster by speaking to an actual vendor on the phone. I don't mind waiting around two hours after my shift ends to make calls on a day that I'm off. But if I have to work that night it is not something that I like to do.

 

Happy to hear you're impressed with the lights! Be careful if using on the street, The Pros are definitely NOT street friendly. Post up some pics if you can. Thanks!

Thanks Bailey, Lights have been ordered. I will get them installed as soon as the arrive.

 

Received my squadron sport today. They look great but are shorting out their 15amp fuse. These are plug and play from what I recall. Am I missing something?

Also, I have the 20" light bar along with wiring harness I just received with the sports. I'm no electrician, so do you have or is there a wiring harness how to?? Clearly the switch is what it is and so is the plug in for the bar. I just don't know the other ends.

 

I assume your 20 inch light bar came with a separate wiring harness as well? If not, were you looking to add the light bar into the same circuit as the squadrons? If so, that might exceed the amperage needed with that wiring harness since the light bar probably has a little more load to it.

I want the fogs on same circuit as factory fogsthat I'm replacing. Those I expect are plug and play but are still blowing the associate factory 15amp fuse.

The wiring harness for the bar I got from you. It's the better one of the two options I was given. I will use the switch that is included in that harness.
