    I have these giant Baja xl 80’s on my hood which work great, but wondering what anyone else is using

    I have the Diode Dynamics SS3 Sport Yellow. I was not planning on going 'all out' with these lights because I don't have a specific use for them at the moment. My fog lights are Diode Dynamics SS3 Pro's and they work great.

    Damn that’s pretty clean. I’d really like to put these XL80’s in the grille, but I haven’t found an option to do that yet

    Running BD Squadron Sports for ditch in Wide Cornering, and have Squadron Sports in driving in the fog cutouts as well. Those XL 80s are prolly great, but large. What lense you running?

    It’s the flood spot combo, I think it’s the cornering version

    Side shooters. Don't need or want a crap-ton of light, I just wanted a slow speed wide beam to find my way back to camp.

    I like the side shooters, I’m almost finished with my roof rack I’ve been working on and will be putting some side lighting towards the front up top

    I see you are a man who definitely knows a good looking rack when he sees one. Also excellent choice in truck color I might add.

    Baja Designs S1, with the Wide Cornering lens. Ive been very impressed with them. Tend to use them a lot on winter trips when the days are short around here. Enough light to clearly see what you need to see, but not so much you will blind oncoming traffic (or your buddy in front of you) before you can shut them off. All that in a very small package..

    Mine aren’t necessarily ditch lights but more like more high beams. I’m sticking with all halogen until I decide to get better headlights but until then this works for me. Inner is a spot light and outer is flood light. 7136B842-12EC-4F6F-BDA5-0EE41CE4A56A.jpg

    LOL

    honestly, I think it’s kinda cool though. Gives the truck a sweet utilitarian aesthetic, not like every other Bro-coma out there....

    even though I drive a bro-coma :anonymous:
