    For now its wired on a switch on the switch pro. If I ever need that 8th switch I'll probably tap into the ignition or the headlights for the back lights.

    Push in the center of the rock guard with your thumbs and pop off the outter lip with your fingertips. It is more difficult in colder climates and on smaller units like the S2(had a similar issue out in Colorado).

    Thanks so much for the tip! I guess I was just being a bit dense but I was mainly trying to push and pry at the edges only. Pressing with my thumbs on the center makes even the S2's covers come off way easier, although yeah the S2 is still probably the hardest to get popped off.

    I also tweaked the spacing and alignment of my lights... new challenge, how may Baja Designs logos can I have on my truck?? :D

    Setup looks great!
    I think we could squeeze a few more logos on there ;)

    So going down the back road to my place last night, I finally got a chance to turn on my 40" S8 just to test. It's...BRIGHT. Like, you watch the stop signs light up way the hell down the road, and you start laughing bright. :eek: :rofl:

    Gonna be nice for the dark desert tracks come race season! :thumbsup:

    @Baja Designs

    If we want to possibly run 4 Squadron Sports on one switch, is there a wiring harness that would allow that? Or would I need to pretty much do a Two to One setup on it?

    You running it off a SPOD or Switchpro? Just connect all 4 12+ leads to the same output lead.

    Neither, currently just a switch panel in the lower portion of the center of the dash.

    I would like to get a SwitchPro soon, so I guess another reason to make myself go ahead and get one.

    Honestly, my switchpro was the best truck money I think I've spent, even better than my Kings. I hated relays and the rats nest that goes with them. If you do spring for a switchpro, get the @Mr.PowerTrays panel and related accessories. Makes hooking new stuff up a trivially easy affair.

    What made you go for 2 smaller lights than 1 bigger one? Just what you had on hand or something else?

    Yea, that is my plan, I just need to get it done and actually get the damn thing ordered and everything so I can get rid of the rats nest of wiring even if it is not bad, but with wanting to add more, it will just get worse.

    Yea, I saw that as far as the splitter, so may have to get two of those possibly.

    Ha, and yea, I will just have to see how I want to mount the lights and if I am going to mount all 4 in a row or what my plan is... so may not even need to honestly want all 4 on the same switch.

    Invest in a cheap weatherpack crimper too. I think I got one for like $20 on Amazon. Those connectors really come together a lot better than janky butt splices and make a lot better appearance as well.

    Edit: here's the one I got. Really happy with it.

    Squadron Sports are 3A each so four on one circuit are only 12A - Relays are usually between 25/40Amps.
    I wouldn't put that through the switch though.

    Quick question - are replacement lenses available to change an S2 from Wide Driving to Work/Scene?

    Or is it a matter of just taking off the Wide Driving?

    You'd need two splitters to run 4 Squadron Sports on the following harness:

    Squadron Pro/Sport Wiring Harness (150W max)
    https://www.bajadesigns.com/products/squadron-s2-wire-harness-2-lights-max-150-watts.asp

    Qty: 2 - Squadron/S2 Splitter
    https://www.bajadesigns.com/products/squadron-s2-wire-harness-splitter-adds-1-light.asp

    Total Wattage for 4 Squadron Sports is 104w. That harness can handle the 4 lights :D
