Baja Designs: General Discussion Thread

So I think I answered most of my own questions. Seems like I can tap into DRL and then just have one switch for bar itself.

 

Thanks for posting up! Sorry about the delay - this in fact will work:

Since you're using the 30" S8 I'd recommend the On/Off/Mode Harness (640122). With this harness you can utilize the BD switches or your own switch with similar style connectors. This harness does include two switches, one for ON/OFF, one for Amber Backlight. Instead of running the amber backlight feature on a switch we have many customers splice or tap into the DRL so the Amber comes on when the truck is started. Some customers also splice into their high beams for the light bar so they don't run any switches! That is a preferred method if you're doing a lot of backroad driving and will be switching the bar on and off a lot as traffic comes.

Hi Bailey, absolutely love your products! Would you mind sharing S2 pros flush mount dimensions? Wondering if it'll work with my rear bumper?

 

Hey

Thanks for the support!

Attached is the PDF for the Flush Mount Bezel. The cutout for the light itself will be roughly 3"x2".

Let me know if you have any other questions!

Whoa that was fast. Mahalo!

 

I posted a few pictures of mine on page 62 of this thread. If you fuse tap the DRL for the ambers, they won’t ever shut off unless you have a switch in line. It’s easier to use a fuse that is ignition dependent (I used the 10A “washer” fuse to the left of the steering column). The BD wiring harness Bailey recommended is what I used and was basically plug and play. I used their bracket too, made things easy.

As for the actual lights, you could wire them into the high beams or buy a dedicated switch off Amazon for ~$10. I did the latter. You won’t be disappointed with this bar!

 

What bumper is this?

Love my Squadron Sports (Hood, Driving Combo Amber) and S2's (Bed mounted, Driving Combo Amber)!!!

Thanks Dan!! Now I just need a 20" S8 in Amber!

 

I've used the actual Baja Designs specific S8 harness before. It's relayed & fused with 2 switches. Just this weekend I have removed it and installed a Switch Pro 9100. So I wouldn't hack up such a nice harness, I ordered and installed this.

Nice shot!

Does anybody know where to buy a ditch mount bracket that goes with the Squadron R Sport? I purchased the fog light kit, but I think I might just go another direction and just mount them on my hood. Also, the fog light kit didn't come with the bottom mount; any ideas where to purchase these? @Baja Designs; I've looked everywhere.

I've got a set of cali raised led ditch brackets for sale. Message me if you're interested. As for the mount for the Sports, I bet @Baja Designs can help you out with that.

 

Can anyone confirm that I can’t run a 30 onx6 bar with the mounting kit that Baja designs makes for 17 Tacoma with s8 bar. I’m guessing the onx is too wide to fit in that spot.

 

I don't believe you can, it'll be too tall. Its not the width nor depth of the Onx6 thats the issue from what I see. I have an Onx6 10" bar on my SxS, its just too bulky. As it is, the S8 just grazes the lower part of the grille. Its not perfectly center(horizontally) with the BD specific mounts, sits higher up in the cutout. Not a bad thing because the light output would hit the lower bumper, so it needs to sit higher.

 

The OnX6 isn't too wide, however, it is too tall. It will require significant trimming to the OEM bumper to allow the OnX6 to sit like the s8 does here:

The LP9 just got a little bit BOLDER!

Introducing a new, more aggressive, cast housing for the LP9. One of the noticeable changes is the larger openings for the Direct Ducted Cooling at the top and bottom of the housing. This will increase airflow to the light and in return keep the light cooler allowing everything to run at peak performance longer. This housing also features a sleek black powder coat finish. Take a look at the website for more pictures and information!
