DIY: Baja Designs Squadron-R Sport, 14+ Mount Kit & Bezel

Haha no, you are nuts! I have no need for anything brighter. I rarely drive my truck at night anyway, if I had the need I wouldn’t hesitate though.

I am contemplating mounting some flush S2 Sport’s in the rear bumper like @stefan702 .

I think we could all use some extra light back there.

I need to add more pennies to the piggy bank first though, new tires are next on the list.

 

Me too. I want either some S2 Pro or Squadron sports back there. I Still need to get my switchpros before adding any lights tho.

 

Nice, how would you mount whichever option you go with?

 

Flush. I would mount it on the black plastic if it clears and I don’t have to dismount the bumper to do so. If not then on the outside piece.

 

Sounds like a good plan. I would have to go with flush mounts in the black plastic. With the salt on the roads up here I think if I cut into the metal outside bumper it would eventually rust where I cut.

 

Here you go

Headlights only
Headlights and fogs.

 

They look good! What do you think of them so far?

 

Yes sir. I was hoping to drive with them on but im kinda doubting that now lol. Im patiently waoting to install my 18 headlights and then ill be set

 

My S2s have a more deep useable light in my a pillar locations than my driving combos in my fog locations. I love them both for different reasons

 

You can drive on the road if you aren’t encountering much traffic. I use mine on the road but I turn them off regularly, and I don’t pass many vehicles on certain stretches of road

 

People that run them on the streets are ash§\€§

 

I live in the city tons of ppl all over

 

Settle down!! I run them on the street but click them off for oncoming traffic. Plus, I live in a remote area and don’t encounter much traffic

 

I meant with traffic...

 

I reserve them for bad weather and no oncoming traffic. The retros are sufficient otherwise.

 

I just got the squadron spots and all the fixings for hooking the up for my foglights. But I'm having 0 luck getting the angled bezel to fit over the light. I removed the allen screws and the regular face plate but the angled is like it's to small to fit over the light. Anyone else have any trouble?

 

Replied to your PM - Glad you got it figured out! Post up some pics when you get everything installed.

Looks like you got them squared away! Like Bailey said, post up some pics!

 

Yeah Bailey helped me out great. Working on putting the mounts on the housing now!

 

All I can say is DEAR GOD..... How does that much light come out of something that small.... I only had time to get one installed, but literally when I turned one on I had to walk to the front of the truck and make sure my retrofits weren't on also. I do know one thing I'm going to have to disable the fog light 24/7 mod I have currently lol.

One other thing I have the yellow rock guards will they still fit over the angled bezel?

 

They are no joke!

I don't have an answer for you on the rock guards. I have no clue if they will work with those angled bezels. Please post up your findings to help the next guy though!

 

Will do these are just the pop on covers they sell. They work fine on the standard face plate but seem just a hair to small for the angled and I'm not trying to force it on there unless I'm sure it will fit. If they don't I may have a set if someone needs some for ditch lights, hopefully Bailey will chime in or someone else.

 

@Almaboy or @BlueBottle

Have any experience with the rock covers?

 

These are the covers, like I said perfect fit for the normal face plate below the rock guard.

 

I don’t. Do they just snap on or do they attach with the lens?

 

They snap over the normal face plate (pretty easily to)

 

Looks like they just snap on over the lens

Might not work with angled bezels

 

Yeah that's what I'm starting to think. Oh well, time to disable the jumper wire for my anytime fog lights.
