Baja Design Squadron Yellow installed

Install was very straight forward like the morimoto xb. The light output far exceeds the white Morimotos but it feels like there is a lot more bleed than a fog lamp should have. Quite surprising but it gives you a broad field of illumination vs a clean cut off. Road signs really glow yellow and stand out. The color is fantastic for that. I aimed them with the primary cutoff at the same point as the morimotos which were aimed dame as stock.

DRL and fogs

DRL only. Note lack of illumination on trees


HID lows with fogs on.


They are bright!

 

yeah, Mine sit high due to the bumper, and They are bright. I really like them, and use them as often as i can when driving at night. I do turn them off when approaching other vehicles tho​

 

Those are not fog lights. They aren't designed to be street appropriate fog light replacements by any stretch. These are equivalent to full on "pod-style" offroad lights that Baja Designs managed to put in the stock fog light location.

 

Well that sucks.

 

use them until your told not to at this point. I know that BajaDesigns sells different lenses for them, contact them and see what they have maybe before getting to bummed out

 

yellow also looks great on that blue imo

 

I would be as pissed as your neighbors are if you were driving towards me with those on .

 

Depends what your intended use was. If you wanted fog lights then yeah maybe so. Probably an easy sell if you want to get into something else. However, for offroad use they are exceptional.

 

Word.
They have different pattern lenses that provide varying illumination patterns.
There is a combo/ driving lense but i can’t say I’ve stumbled upon anything confirming the lights themselves being street legal.

 

From their light zone diagram the driving combo doesn’t look much better

 

Being in SoCal unlikely to have anyone say I can’t use them. They’re not so obnoxious as to get LEO attention and to get pulled over.

 

I have the "driving lens"- still throws light too high to be road safe IMO. I run mine in rain, fog, or snow but only during the daylight hours when they arent gonna blind someone. At night switch them off for the benefit of those around me unless it's like full on monsooning and I actually need the visibility

 

Do you have any way to angle them down to the ground? thats what i did, but i dont have a stock bumper

 

i use mine to spot deer/ bear from the road while im driving though the mountains to the house.

 

they are supposed to release a dot approved fog version. Waiting to sew how they turn out.

Bajas look cool, but the beam pattern is wrong. I don't think they are even DOT approved. I almost bought them before I read the thread above. Ended up ordering the KC gravity g4 in amber. That's a true legal fog and got em for $250

 

your correct the current ones are not. they are supposed to be coming out with a DOT approved version.

 

I have a set and I haven't been able to use them at all, they are moe of a decoration piece on my truck more than anything. They are just too damn bright no matter how much I point them down to be driving in a populated area.

 

Keep these. They’re making street use approved ones. They said you can send them yours and they’ll fix them to where they’re street legal just not sure when. Check out the Baja thread for more info

 

I love my Bajadesign lights. Super bright, which is exactly what I wanted. Lots of fog here in spring, typically morning, great they are bright.
Driving at night in construction zones/areas when concrete barrier walls, lots of slight curves etc, lights are a life saver.
Driving at night out in the country, awesomenous!
