    After I installed my Sports I immediately thought, I've got a fever, and the only prescription is more Baja Designs products haha....

    I think the PROs are too bright to be street legal, if you were to use them as fogs.

    Can the sports be used on the streets when foggy? Wasn’t sure if it was safe because there’s lots of stray light that goEs up.

    I use my Sport fogs all the time. Any low sitting car in front of me moves over quickly, but that might be because of the LED headlight bulbs. Sports will be fine for the street.

    Shows how well the new cover fills the gaps. Only drawback is you lose adjustability to aiming them up and down. It I have no issue with where it is aimed.

    You can adjust them up and down!! :) I angled my down a tad by rotating the mount on the light. The bezel doesn't fit as perfect though.

    Oh i get it. So on my picture you rotate the bezel 90deg clockwise? If thats the case, your better off with the old bezel. I fine not using it on the streets. I'd rather have the throw for when I'm alone on the road or off-road than using them on the streets.

    Didn't know they had updated the fog pocket kit. Bought mine in August and it didn't come with that bezel so I have a gap and had a problem with the lights bouncing around. Pic of my squadron combo lights.

    Mine bounced around a tad until I ditched that shitty stock Phillips screw for a bigger screw. Solid now

    The Squadron Angled Bezel is sold separately if you want to upgrade your fog kit. You will need to purchase 2 of the following:

    *Note: We are currently backordered but are expecting to ship more 10/19

    I have a S8 40" combo bar mounted into the hood scoop via SDHQ's kit. It's been mounted for a couple of months. Yesterday, I noticed that one of the light banks is no longer functioning. If I'm looking at the truck, the 2 outside banks are on but of the inner banks, only the left is working. Any ideas?

    Sean,

    Here are a few questions I have to try and help:
    - What section of the light is no longer operational? Is it the side furthest from the power cord?
    - Is the issue happening with or without the truck running? Both?
    - What gauge wire was used on the install?

    Thank You for your time. This will help us in diagnosing the issue. For immediate assistance feel free to call our tech support department at 800-422-5292 or tech@bajadesigns.com

    Thanks!

    Bailey? As in Solana Beach FJ Bailey?

    Section is the third one from the power side. In the picture, it's the third one from the left.

    Photo Oct 16, 12 24 29 PM.jpg

    This appears to be intermittent. Yesterday on the trail, the section was not on. Today, in the driveway it is on. Tried with the ignition turned to accessory as well as the truck fully running. The bar is connected to a SwitchPros unit with 12g wire.

    I'm going to play around with it a bit later. Thanks for the help.

    Yep! Bailey from Solana Beach but don't be surprised if you see a Blue FJ around your neck of the woods in the future.

    Sorry you had this come up. If the issue continues please let me know and I'll get it taken care of ASAP.

    No worries. It's happened twice on the trail but always good the next day. I'll dig in there and check the wiring. Can you think of anything that might cause a bank to go out?

    Let me know when you're around. We'll have to get together and catch up.

    It could be something minor like the ground on that circuit board being slightly loose causing an intermittent failure. This would be a very quick and easy fix on our end. Let me know what you find out :)

    Could I use the wiring harness that came with my Squadron sports for the 40" S8 bar? Cuz that was my plan.
