    Purchased the SSO bumper end of last year along with the winch and the S8 Baja Designs lightbar. Received everything this past spring and installed early May. Everything has been working great up until about a week ago.

    Driving home late at night along some 2 lane highway, hit the switch to turn on teh S8, and it briefly flickered to life and then promptly went out.

    Went through the wiring last night and connected directly to the battery instead of the switch pros switch, and the light still doesn't light up. The amber back lighting still works fine and I use that all the time.

    Any ideas on what else may be wrong with this thing? Fuses are good. I hate to have to remove it because it's buried deep behind the SSO bumper and it's a bitch to try and get out. I know I read somewhere about possibly circuit boards coming loose but I'm hoping that's not it. Thanks

    Some stuff
    the one in my hood did that but only on two of the banks. you probably need to take it out and send it back. if it's only been in since may, still under warranty. they're great about replacements. get in touch with @Baja Designs here. they'll get you sorted.

    That's what I'm afraid of. I'd have to disassemble the entire front bumper in order to get at the mounting bolts and remove the light from the bumper. I'll wait to see if they chime in with anything before going through all that. Thanks. @Baja Designs Would you guys have any insight on this issue?

    My buddy had a 10 year old BD bar and it started getting some condensation in it, they said they'd fix it for free for him, and they even offered him like $100 to upgrade all the optics to the current generation at the same time. I'm sure they'll take care of you.

    they have good CS. that's one of the reason you pay big bucks for BD.
