Baja Designs Squadron-R Sport Fog Light Install

Is that what you did for your BDs?

 

Yes, Sports on the 2nd gen CBI ditch brackets for over a year held solid through the summer and the winter.
Then they went on the BD fog brackets into the bumper, and then the Pros in the 3rd Gen ditch brackets.

All installed with the washer holding the light casing, they have been solid with no shakes. don't forget the loc-tite on all bolts.

 

Thanks for the info.

 

Dang after reading this I am bummed out...
I was at the Overland Expo and bought the Pro's for fog lights in amber wide cornering...but it sounds like now that is way too much for the street.
I really wish the BD guy who helped me or the SDHQ Lady that rung up the sale would have mentioned something about no street use for the Pro's.
Boxes just came in yesterday, thank goodness I didn't install last night...time to find out if I can swap.

 

I was wondering if anyone else is haveing rust issues withe the brackets. They only been installed since march of this year. Let me clarify the lights are perfect its the bracket in front we’re im having the problem. Im most likely going to have to take them out sand them down and bed line them

 

no issues here, only difference is I used the Fog Pocket Kit. But it looks good after a year.

 

Well good news bailey at baja is sending me new brackets at no charge. He said they definitely shouldn’t rust and there warranty covers Manufactures defects just another good reason to buy from Baja designs

 

I have a question about these,I guess the squadron set specifically for our truck.Has anyone had any experience with these and other "amber"lights on the truck?I ask because I have a rigid light bar with amber backlight, I originally planned to go with either rigid or caliraised ditch lights as I know they match the amber perfectly. I see this labeled as amber but in a lot of the pictures I see it seems to look more yellow when in use,can anyone confirm or debunk my thoughts/ concerns for me please. Either way I go im spending quite a bit of money but I want a close or near perfect amber match. Thanks in advance.

 

The Baja Designs Amber will appear yellow compared to some of our competition. We do not offer an Orange "Amber" option for our lights. The main reason is terrain recognition. The yellow color offers maximum performance in poor conditions where orange is often much dimmer and can block out certain obstructions.

so i bough the foglight kit for the 12-17 tacoma in yellow, me question is if i wanted to switch to clear lens in the future. what would the temperature color be?

 

squadron sports are 5000k Daylight.

 

@GF8er is correct - our white light is 5000k color temperature

 

Can anyone confirm if the sports are street legal?

Thanks.

Any tips on angling them wide/lower? Do you just adjust the angle of the ears? Thanks!

Clean install!

 

Dang, I missed the 10% discount when I picked up my lights yesterday. I hate it when I re--read a thread like this and notice something important that I should have seen.

 

What’s the easiest way to get the front cover off the stock oem fog lights? I’ve seen different videos of people just prying the cover off from the front using a plastic pry bar. Would this risk breaking any of the 5 tabs that hold it in place? I’m trying to avoid going in from the wheel well, so in thru the top next to the headlights was my plan...
