    What gauge wiring are you running? Any pics of the setup? It's possible the wire is too thin or you have a short somewhere.
    Btw - does this happen with the truck running or off?

    Happy to help diagnose. We'll be open tomorrow at 8:30AM if you need to reach tech support directly

    Can you tell us if they will be round or 2x2 square? Basically, will we need the oem round trim piece, or the new Trd pro fog trim piece?

    It'll be available in the Squadron form factor (3"x3") with a few different bezel options. We are offering them as the Fog Pocket Replacements which only work with the OEM fog shroud. These weren't designed for the TRD Pro fog shrouds.

    Hey @Baja Designs sorry to bug you with a question. I want to get amber fog replacements in my 18 tundra... i keep seeing that more people are using the wide cornering Squadron Sport-R versus just the Squadron Sport.. could you clarify why one over the other would work best as fogs? Thanks in advance!

    I have just installed my S8 in the hood bulge and my OnX6+ in the front bumper on my 2018 Platinum. Waiting on some wiring hardware to connect to my SP9100 and was looking at the Squadrons to put into the sides of the bumper outside of the OnX6+. Mounting will be a challenge in the nFAB bumper to get proper adjustability but this is on my list in the future as soon as the money becomes available. Missed a night run this past weekend with my local Tundra club and it was killing me knowing they are in but not wired. Next time...

    Jesse - there is no difference between the sport and sport-R other than the bezel on the front of the light being round instead of square-ish. Light output and lenes is the exact same between models. The round bezel has a better appearance in the stock tundra bumper. Baja also has a kit with angled round bezels and plug and play harness. The angled bezel is designed to reduce the gap between the light and the plastic fog pocket in the bumper. I had the angled bezel when i had my factory bumper, now that i have an aftermarket bumper i went back to the regular round bezel.

    Either the Squadron Sport or Squadron-R Sport will work thanks to the Squadron Angled Bezel being included in the kit.

    Previously, the Squadron-R was the best option. Either will work since the bezel gets replaced with the included Squadron Angled Bezel

    Question... installing squadron sport set in my 2018 tundra got one in and working made it to the second one and no light.. the light itself works tested it. So my next step was to change the wire connector on one side... so I guess my dead spot is in the plug and play wires sent from Baja Designs
    Has anyone had any problems with these connections.???
    I’m running like Popeye right now one fog in one out gotta fix it ASAP any help will be greatly appreciated

    Not to insult your intelligence but are the wires in the right spot? Only issue I have seen lately was reversed wires in a connector. If that’s not it hopefully you will get it resolved soon.

    You are correct I completely put the plug on upside down thanks for the help guys will try swapping the wires around! Should have known when it blew the fuse! I feel like an impatient 5 year old now but thanks for not putting it to me like a 5 year old lol

    Nice setup!

    Both the Sport and Pro are great options, either will be a great addition to your ride
