    Hi,

    Just got a set of Baja Designs Squadron SAE Fog lights and installed them on my 2020 OR. There is a gap between the fog light insert and inside of the fog light - is this normal? I've watched a few install videos and none of them have this gap. Does anyone else have this issue? Picture attached

    I have the same lights in a clear and have the same issue, does not look right. I have the same ones in the off road version/clear on my 2020 4Runner off road premium and the gap is much less and not noticeable, goes deeper into the front facia.Better fit on T4R.

    I spoke with tech support a month ago- I had the same issue on my 2021.

    They wanted me to work with engineering on new brackets; I didn't have the time.

    I'll build my own brackets when I have some down time.

    Sad for what these lights cost.

    Yep.

    My other alternative was to accept a partial refund because they had been mounted.

    Cool huh?

    F46E2B5F-3BE8-4D6A-8DD9-6F2E3C6A89A0.jpg I have the same issue with my @Baja Designs. They need to make new brackets cause the ones they come with leave the gap. And yes of course all of the install videos I saw didn’t show the gap, but that was prob on purpose - otherwise I would of got Rigid or Diode Dynamics. Only thing on my truck that looks like shit.

    Good to know, I was about to order a set.

    I haven’t tried, but is it possible to run the fogs with just the parking lights off the factory switch? If I do amber fogs I don’t really need the headlights on for heavy fog.
