    The additional picture is helpful. I did ask, but have not yet heard back yet, the communication can be very intermittent. I hope to hear back when they launch the amber/yellow SAE fogs.

    Thank you sir. Will be interesting to see if it will remain an overpriced toyota only item or if they change their current line up. If it has a wider beam it would be nice but not at the toyota price I'm afraid.

    Waiting for some rago mounts still. AGHHH. It's rainy and dark here in Socal. Would be nice to use these right now.

    Color compared to the white sae/dot rigid fogs.

    How did you get the Rigid Amber pods already? Have they released them?

    More like a challenge of if you could find somewhere else to mount more lights.

    I retract my previous uncertainty, really happy with these lights after a couple days/nights with them.

    Hmmm, I ordered a set of Baja Design Squadron Sports the other day but they are on backorder....now I’m considering the KC G4 instead as they won’t be blinding oncoming traffic.

    Decisions...:angrygirl:

    ETA - the G4 are sold out too :angrygirl:

    Try another vendor? Baja is supposed to release an SAE fog version of their pod next month.

    That’s why I didn’t order the Baja’s. Don’t want to be a dick to oncoming traffic.

    Amazon has them.

    https://www.amazon.com/KC-HiLiTES-501-Gravity-Amber/dp/B01L48OM5U

    EDIT: These are actually the 500 clear version, not amber despite the link saying 501 amber.

    I think they’ll be ok, plus the weather around here isn’t really that bad...~3 days a year of snow.

    When the weather is bad I can still see fine thanks to my retrofit headlights.

    BD lights are definitely not ok on the street with oncoming traffic as covered in the original post. Baja has actually come around and finally started telling their customers their lights are not street safe and should not be run with oncoming traffic.

    Good catch! My bad, notice the link I posted specifically says 501 amber, but actually pulls up the 500 clear.

    I've seen bro's rocking full on 30" light bars down low for fogs and driving with them on with all their LED's and it's terrible. Makes me wish there was a number to call like they have for smoke polluting cars to report them.

    Check back early to mid next week for the Amber G4s :). Should be back in stock before the holidays. And if not, I'm gonna explode :frusty:.
