Baja Designs: General Discussion Thread

Haha I completely understand. I did the same with the electrical distribution system on my truck. I figured I could save the money because I knew how to do it, and it worked but it was far from elegant. In the end I bought an sPod and I only regret not doing it sooner.

 

Well shit.
Noticed both lights have what appears to be splitting of the wire casing coming out of the light.
The wire angles are not extreme at all.
Anyone else have this happen. I have had the lights for one week and only installed last night.

 

Is that splitting or the seam?

 

The are no seams.
Certainly looks like it's splitting.
I guess I'll contact BD.

 

Are you referring to this part?



If so, that's actually part of the mold and considered normal. I grabbed a brand new light and took the picture above.

 

I just grabbed a flashlight and bore down on it. You are 100% correct, it is in fact a casting mark from the mold.
My bad.

 

No worries, better to be sure!

 

Seam...

 

Yep. I was wrong.

 

How do you like the S1's on the side? I currently have a set of XL80s in the combo pattern. I have been thinking of doing the S1 on the side and change the XL80 to a spot patter. Your truck looks pretty sweet, my goal is a Power Wagon some day.

 

Thanks man. I wouldn’t change a thing with my ditch lights setup, the spot XL80s pointed straight forward and wide cornering S1s pointed to the sides is the perfect forward lighting combo. There’s lighting directly in front of me, to the sides, far out front, I can see everything in front of and beside me.

I have a 40” onx6 hi power I still need to wire up which will be completely unnecessary.

 

Wanna do a 50” instead?

 

I already welded the tabs on my bumper for the 40” and have it Line-X’d

 

have you ran the hi-power yet? I just got one from BD that was a scratch and dent, will be here next week.

 

Not the 40” but I have a 20” as well I’ve played with

 

I finally got my Switch-Pros wired up and wired in my XL80’s. Holy shit they are bright AF.

LP9 Pro’s are next, soon as I can source a DT crimper that’s not stupid expensive.

 

I really hated to pay so much for a light bar, but since they don’t make the hi-power anymore I had to jump on it. I’ll have to figure out some custom mounts though, only thing stopping me from installing it as soon as it gets here.

 

They’re well worth it, truly crazy lighting for a single row light bar. I have 4 LP9 pros sitting idle too. They’re pretty crazy as well

 

Awesome, I'll add that to my upgrade list. Currently thinking about adding a set of Squadron Pros in amber combo pattern to my lower bumper. I have the Rough Country hidden winch mount on my F150, I think the lights would fit perfect down there. I'd treat them as aux fog lights.
