The LED SAE J583 Fog Pod & Fog Light Review

finally installed my rigid sae pods with the amber covers. used the rago mounts that Riley custom cut to accommodate for the covers

have to do aiming tonight.

 

This is some BS right here:




The business is not closed! This is productive America, we are open, here and working. Recently our front door changed from being propped open to being closed and unlocked, it is a full glass door. The UPS guy didn't even try the door. I saw this at 10:22, 6 minutes after claimed 'delivery attempt' and busted down to the lobby to try and intercept the UPS guy before he left the building, but the delivery truck was already gone.

Looks like it is going to have to wait till Monday.

 

Looks sharp!

 

Our FedEx drivers do this...we have specific postings on the lobby door (since they're too lazy to ring the doorbell and wait three seconds to be buzzed in!) that tells them to ring the bell AS WE ARE IN THE BUILDING!

 

Maybe he couldn’t see if the lights were on.

 

Usually if im at the garage i can hear the delivery truck but they wont even look inside, even though i have a radio on. Let along the atv tore apart to fix something i broke, or me struggling to get a axle out. Normally ill just tell them to leave it at the local drop off center thats on my way home, just drop in and 2 mins later im out with whatever i ordered.

 

x10!

 

ahhh that sucks! I'm really looking forward to this review.

Didn't know you were local to me. would you be willing to sell me the pair you don't go with?

 

Sure thing! I’ll also be selling the white Baja SAE fogs as well.

 

oOooh sweet! Dibs on which ever is better lol

I wonder if the yellow bajas are just white leds with yellow filters. We'll see!

 

The whites will be brighter. The yellow ones will use a yellow (amber color) filter over a white LED.

 

These Baja SAE look blindingly high compared to the OEM. The glare off the far sign tells the story.

 

Yeah, those marketing photos are not very promising looking. The lights clearly lack any cut off and there has been a lot of questions/concern around these being SAE lights.

Mine are set to arrive today, assuming UPS doesn’t botch the delivery again. So I’ll let you guys know soon.

 

@crashnburn80
I’m looking forward to your real world results on the SAE Bajas. I currently run the non-SAE BD amber wide cornering fogs. While they provide great light off-road (and look good on the truck), they fail miserably in my opinion as an actual fog light.

I’ve contemplated going back to my stock fogs as I felt they do a great job producing usable light on-road. Time and and your results/review will tell .

 

I can’t see the pics in se7enine’s post, does anyone have a link to them?

 

I'm waiting as well. I ran the white rigid sae for years. I liked them but the color was too blue. Having ran the selective yellow for 7 months I wouldn't go back. They do have a great cutoff and don't illuminate signs like those bd pics at all. The pods just don't look as good as a circular light.

 

Lets see if UPS can manage to not screw it up this time.

 

You can see them in Baja's post here:

I couldn’t see them on that thread either, so I tried a different browser and they worked. Seems like those fogs weren’t adjusted properly, I don’t see how that pattern would have passed sae specs otherwise.
