    Also, when the arb fog lights were installed, the factory connectors were cut off and they were hardwired in. What would be the best way to connect the baja designs squadrons at this point? Thanks!

    Use Delphi Weather Pack connectors

    My squadrons were sent with a plug and play harness. Cut the harness and hard wire into the existing wiring (before the weather pack connectors).

    Most likely the Squadrons were sent with Delphi connections. So then you just need to cut the OEM connection and crimp on the extra Delphi connection that came with the squadrons

    I dont think those would work, the angled bracket wouldnt work that well either as the gap isnt that "angled"

    Can someone show how the paranoid version connects to the housing? I bought them, but no instructions or pictures came with them.

    Sorry for the tread resurrection.

    this still an option? I was just thinking about upgrading, since I got the "fog/ditch light kit" from you I've been quite impressed with that, and my arb fogs just crapped the bed again, so time to get the LED going any pics with them at night or shots from the cab, I don't want to be the jerk who blinds people with them either.

    thinking a yellow/amber option

    I can see the point of putting DD MAX fogs. Would be much better.

    but what about the side rectangular outer 2”? Would that be better left “stock”?

    id think that area is too low to get good use from a driving beam

    and fogs are already doing the job of fog hole

    that only really leaves Spot beam. To potentially have it try and act as a ditch light. but in real life it may not be able to, given that area is on the front and faces front.

    So since I installed these I've swapped lenses around a couple of times. The squadrons I have amber wide cornerings on and the S2 Pros have a clear wide cornering lens now. The S2s have been impressive! I primarily use them as my fogs and only use the Squadrons in bad weather or out in the middle of nowhere to give me some contrast.

    I think you'd be much better off making that slot functional. If you need a bracket for it message @paranoid56

    its more of a ditch kinda light. or cornering beam lol. but we have had people use it with the back lit option to act as a turn signal also.

    using mine, make sure they have a filter on them, "passing" someone on coming can get a few raised middle fingers, since swapping to the dual glass filter its lessened. but they are at a great angle for a semi ditch like light output but still nice when its good and foggy out and the lines are harder to see, or if youre on a trail and cant see when youre starting to track off in snow as well
