Stripped screws

Hey there.
I just swapped my Squadron Sport fogs for a set of SAE fogs today and I destroyed several of the stainless screws it the process.
I have the Tacoma specific Sport kit and I bought the universal SAE fog kit to save a little cash.
When I was removing the mount brackets, the combination of dissimilar metal corrosion and the included yellow loc-tite helped me strip 2 screws. I was able to remove them with vise-grips.
I also stripped 2 screws on one of the bezels. Had to drill the heads off and removed the the shanks with my trusty vise-grips.
I installed all new stainless hardware with anti-seize.
Your products are the best but please, at least switch to blue loc-tite on the bezel screws since they are small diameter.
Thanks.

I am sorry that you had to deal with this! Noted and will revisit with our engineering and purchasing teams. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.

 

What's the policy on this with lights? I removed my lights when I got a new setup and went to adjust the mounts and lens and have been having all sorts of issues. I have a few sets of S2s and Squadrons and for the life of me I can't get the side bolts out in a few and the front ones I can't get off either. Used the right size allen wrench but no luck. I tried to cut/to get a screwdriver in one gets no luck either. At least one now has a bad seal and is getting water but I can't change the lens. I bought all new lens and gaskets but can't change them.

I tried to hit up support but was directed to someone who told me to try various things.

@Baja Designs who should I contact? worst case can they be sent in?

 

Had no issues with a warranty repair of an S2 Pro a couple weeks ago due to a broken off faceplate bolt.

I suggest giving them a chance to sort it out.

Turn around on mine was less than 5 days

 

For sure, was chatting with someone and they said to drop a post on here since I didn't get much help on support last time. Just seeing best way to sort it out.

 

Good Morning Nudavinci,
If the seals are bad to I recommend just doing a warranty repair because you dont want the internals to get damaged. I can take care of the warranty for you; our lead time for warranty is only a couple days, they will inspect the whole light and ensure it is in working order. Are you able to get the lights off the vehicle and send them in?
Best,
Brock Brunkhorst

 

thanks messaged you back.
