Baja Designs: General Discussion Thread

@steiner9er I just saw @Rob Daman IG post and we were in the right spot...your cable is just too fat. If you make it a little flatter then it should slip in there.

 

Could always be a champ like me in partially epoxy it in the event that it doesnt fit just right.

 

Got the S2 pros in today for my harley, still looking for wiring input if anyone has any. This is how I’m going to mount them



Some shitty cell phone pics of one in combo pattern, I have 2 high power bars, 4 squadron pros and 4 LP9s and these S2 pros are still impressive as hell for the size. This is no other light of any kind just one S2 pro.

 

Do I need new mounts for the street legal fog lights or will the ones I have with my squadron sports work?

 

Looking at getting an onX6 30" for my lower bumper for my 13' Tacoma and have a couple questions.

With the bd brackets, will I need to remove the/grill for install?

I'm wanting to use an OEM style switch for the dash, over the toggle switch that comes with the wiring harness. Is it a major hassle to change these out? What about the hi/low toggle? I'm not interested in ever using it on low. Can that be fixed?

 

For the guys with Baja Designs Squadron fog lights, do you guys drive with them on? Not sure if they are too bright or not for every day driving.

 

I siliconed mine right outside that trench. It's was held in place by masking tape while it dried.

 

No, they're way too bright. I have the wide cornering ones and it'd be a real dick move to run them on the road, either day or night. I'd wait for the SAE ones they're about to release.

 

I agree with @EatSleepTacos . It's illegal for a reason. That's why I never bought the Squadrons for fog lights. I actually need and use my fogs on the road. You better believe I pre-ordered a set of the SAE fogs though.

 

I've never seen them driving towards me so I had no idea. Thanks for the feedback fellas!

 

What Randy said. I have the older sports that aren't as bright as the new ones, and my friends ahead of me on the dusty trails will comment how distracting they are in the side mirrors. You def would make "friends" if you run them at night.

 

Factory headlights vs the old sqdn sports for reference.

 

I do in rainy or foggy weather and on back country roads when there is not oncoming traffic, but i also have the 1st generation squadrons that were only 1800 lumens. The 2nd and 3rd gen squadrons upped the lumen output to not be street friendly.

 

What does everyone have/prefer for reverse/dust lights? I'm looking at a pair of S2 sports in amber with the wide corner lens to keep the light lower for following vehicles. Thoughts or input is appreciated!

 

Im running a single Squadron Pro flood since I also use it for camping stuff. It works pretty well though although probably a little bright if guys are rolling close to me in the rear. I would roll with some S2's if its solely just to be a chase light.

 

That's my big concern. I want it primarily as a dust/chase light when running a group. The reverse feature would just be an additional use since I have it. A Squadron Pro is too much for either use IMO.

 

Yea I would only fire on my pro if I have distance...sooner or later when I get my RTL officially figured out that will ideally be my real chase light though.

 

I can help you with that... You moved away before we could meet up

 

Haha I know man! A crucial mistake on my part!

 

If you have a switchpro, you can dim the lights. I was wondering if you could do just that and went into the settings and it does in fact lower the brightness of the BD lights.
