    So a couple months ago a deer ran in front of me and did some pretty good damage, but thankfully I did have a Pelfreybilt bumper that took almost all the damage. Had no frame damage or anything. Really just plastic was broken. So because insurance said they would replace the bumper as long as it was around the same price. So this go around I went with an ARB bumper. Well I was looking on TW on how to mount my Baja Designs squadron lights and @paranoid56 hit me up and said they have brackets for these for the ARB bumper. So I got those and then I started looking at the spot on the bumper where the turn signal would go I wanted to put something useful in there. So I was talking to @paranoid56 about making a bracket that would in that spot and that I could mount the Baja Designs S2 Pro lights in there. Well, @paranoid56 was able to make me a bracket and its awesome. Fits nice and snug against the bumper on the back side and the opening for the lights are perfect. I definitely recommend if you're trying to mount lights somewhere, send @paranoid56 a message and see how they can help you. Here's some pictures of how everything looks.

    I'm getting an arb bumper too, and was looking for alternative light options but just went with the led indicator and arb fogs.
    Didn't like how the various alternatives were not really perfect fits for the cutouts.

    Nice. The squadron lights aren't a snug fit at all, they're definitely smaller than the opening but they fit nice. The S2's are a good fit.

    You're using S2 Pro models as blinkers or as just general lighting? Remind me not to be in front of you when you go to indicate if it's the first one.

    Haha they would be really bright signals. No I live in Wyoming so a lot of weather right now and having the yellow lenses on these are awesome in bad snow or fog. Kind of like an extra fog light in s sense .

    6 inches on the ground in Salt Lake City right now...I know the feeling. My sport fogs came in handy on the morning commute this AM.

    Yeah I have sport fogs too. I use them in the mornings as well. What kind of lens you have on your sports?

    WC in the sport fogs, combos in the center pro models...and the S8 up top :D

    I looked to baja trucks for inspiration, and the results are quite pleasing.

    Nice! I'm actually switching my S2s to clear WC and the sports to a amber/yellow WC
