    Wanted to share these with the forum,

    Baja 686 is a small company making bumper inserts that go under the headlights that hold aftermarket pod lights. Currently they sell them for the Baja Designs S1 as well as the Diode Dynamics SSC1 lights.

    I was fortunate to get a set of their SS3 light kit that will be coming out later this month.

    These make way more sense to me than the "fang lights" that are being sold, but that's just my opinion.

    Will be shooting an install video next week for these and plan to add these to the factory aux switches that my Sport came with.

    Will be nice to have some extra forward lighting on the truck.

    Check them out on IG or their website if interested in any of their products.

    Any idea how to install/wire these? Don't see anything on their site. Definitely better than "fang" lights. I bought a pair on Amazon and they've been sitting in my garage for months now. They look cheesy. These are much better - although they're charging $160 for the plastic cover to mount the DD's (which are $279 a pair normally)...

    you would have to build a harness. i have the OE Aux switches that i tied them into. otherwise, a switch panel would probably be the most ideal.

    I installed them today, overall very happy with fit and finish being 3d printed and technically pre production pieces. B6I will be offering these in the ASA material 3d print or full plastic production pieces.

    We will have an install video of these soon on the company YT channel for Alldogs Offroad.

    Here's a direct link to the pieces i installed. https://baja686industries.com/products/2024-tacoma-dd-ss3-led-vent-cover-matte-black-1

    they have a tiny amount of up and down movement but that's it.

    Looking forward to an install video! I will probably pull the trigger once there's something out there on an install - I'm no electrician.
