    At some point or situation it's probably better to spend your money on a pathfindir II kit rather than adding more and more lumens. You can find good deals on them if you're patient.

    Just throwing this out there. Not sure why more people don't run one after spending $3k on lighting

    Does the wire harness that comes in the plug and play fog light kit use a male or female connector on the end opposite the h11 connector?

    Reason for asking, I want to plug into the factory fog light harness but didn't buy the complete install kit. I only have the brackets and glare shield. The connector on the fog lights is female but all the premade h11 adapters I'm finding are also female when I need male.

    Or am I missing something. Might just buy the female cable and cut it off then crimp on the male connector.

    Yellow outside lights are sports wired to factory fog switch. Middle 3 lights are pros that I had previously mounted and relocated from the ditch light position.

    Pocket kit adapters were long enough and so was the included squadron harness along with short splitter :thumbsup:

    Installed BD Squadron sports with Amber wide cornering last night. Light output is much better than I was hoping for. Any pictures or videos just doesn't show how it is in real life

    Think I'm good for night driving with my RX350 projectors, BD fogs and FLIR

    NEW PRODUCT ALERT: Universal S1 Moto Kits

    We are proud to announce the most versatile motorcycle lighting option we have ever conceived. With our recent launch of the S1, we were ready to take advantage of the versatile, light weight and powerful S1 performance. This kit will mount to nearly any motorcycle with our fork bracket clamp design. The fork bracket along with the S1 standard bracket can be mounted in various configurations to accommodate your setup. Using an EPDM rubber material in between the mounting surfaces, worries about scratching the bike are nonexistent. Wiring is a breeze with only a handlebar switch, battery leads, splitter, and a headlight plug. For non-electric start EFI bikes, we will offer this kit without a harness and a bike-specific plug and play harness will need to be purchased separately.

    50-7096 | S1, Moto Kit, Spot

    50-7097 | S1, Moto Kit, Driving/Combo

    These two options are available for all battery-powered dirt bikes which includes our 64-1049 Universal Wiring Harness & Switch which leads connect directly to the battery terminals.

    50-7086 | S1, Moto Kit, Spot w/EFI Kickstart

    50-7087 | S1, Moto Kit, Driving/Combo w/EFI Kickstart

    We have many people use our rock lights and dome lights for this purpose. :) Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of a Tundra example but hopefully someone can share their install. There's a power and ground coming out of either light. Some guys like to use the dome light because it has a switch built in and they save their in cab switch slots. But all you need to do is put 12v power to it and mount it.

    Can you post pics of a Tacoma or anything? Would like to see. Not sure if one light would be enough or if I would need to mount two lights.

    Unfortunately, I don't have anything at my finger tips at the moment. They offer 180 degree beam so it's a decent coverage. I personally run one in my cab, and I feel like it's a perfect amount in a mid size truck. For under the hood, I would try one first.

    Check out our video where we use it multiple applications. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYzeQMKWH-Y&feature=youtu.be

    Hi,

    I’ve already sent an email regarding my issue. I was just wondering if there is anything that can be done with this coating issue I have on some of my S2 sports and squadron sports.

    thanks!

    It looks like there's corrosion forming under the powder coat. We can definitely get this covered under our limited lifetime warranty and make them look like new again. PM inbound. Thank you!

    I am on the website about to order the squadron SAE amber. Are they only available in wide cornering???

    For some reason I thought there were other output options besides wide cornering..

    Thanks

    That is correct, that is the only SAE certified setup we have in the Squadron which allows you to turn on the lights on public roads.

    The bezel bolt is a torx M3x.5x12mm button head. The mounting bolt is an M4 x 25mm flat head socket cap.

    That would be 16 of our S1 lights, not a light bar. :) Here's a data sheet with all of the specifications. https://www.bajadesigns.com/images/S1 Data Sheet.pdf

    Does anyone have recommendations for security bolts? For both the lateral bolts and also the larger bolt that holds the light mount to the ditch light bracket itself. I just got a set of XL's as ditch lights and am concerned about security.
