Baja Designs: General Discussion Thread

Happy 4th Bailey!

 

The area of the light is less than the area of the OEM grill that was cut out (at least in my case). Also many high end off-road lights come with grills to protect them from rocks. At crawl speed most of the work is being done by the fan anyway. The best thing you can do for your coolant temperatures at low speed is to not run your AC which has a radiator in front of the main radiator.

 

Couldn't find any pictures with the tacoma fog pockets installed so thought I would throw in my own. Much brighter then stock, almost seem brighter then my headlights. I have some comparison pictures, if anyone would like to see them I can throw them up. Also thanks Bailey for all your help! Great customer service Baja Designs!

 

comparison pics please

 

Factory fogs and headlights.
Squadron sport driving combo. Big difference in trees at end of the road and power line.
Headlights only
Squadron sports and headlights.

 

did they plug up to the stock wiring harness?

 

Does the Squadron Sport fogs blind oncoming traffic?

 

Yes. Couple weeks ago, came up behind a rollback tow truck as I was exiting the highway, he still had his work lights on shining straight at me (and all the other cars that had been behind him). Flipped the Squadron Sport Spots and Wide Driving on for a few moments. His whole truck was in "daylight" and he jumped all over getting his dim halogens off.

 

I've been very pleased with this setup so far. 2 pairs of Squadron Sports in the BD Fog Light brackets on my Ram PowerWagon. 1 pair of Spots and 2 pair of Wide Driving.

Need to work on a good switch panel (got an idea brewing). I want to run each pair on separate switches mounted together. It's apparently just a little to much draw for the CanBus system, so it works for a little while with the adapters, then starts to cycle on/off, then just off until cycling the key. But those are Ram problems.

 

Yes BD makes the mounting brckets for the tacoma/tundra fog pocket and comes with wiring adapters for the factory wires, very simple.

 

They seem very bright, I need to test them with a friend driving at me. Bailey said that the wide cornering is a more friendly option, so I'm going to try both out.

if I ever get an aftermarket bumper, would you say you can put a bracket on those lights and use them on the bumper?

Or are they strictly designed as ''stock bumper fog lights"

 

They are definitely aftermarket lights. They have they own brackets. The stock truck brackets are additional. In the case of my Ram, the light bracket is still used. They can kind of be seen in these.

 

thanks!

 

Random question but where you driving threw Evansville, IN yesterday around 4 or so?

Better post pictures when you get back! Have fun.

 

I've got the Baja Designs Squadron Pro lights in my @Pelfreybilt bumper. Love them! Super bright! Actually much brighter than the factory headlights/bright lights.


I drove through a 1.2 mile long tunnel on Sunday. This was an abandoned rail line tunnel so it had no lights in it. The Baja Designs Fog lights illuminated the tunnel significantly more than my factory headlights could!

 

Did you get the driving/combo or the wide cornering lenses?
