    I need some suggestions on what to mount in the extra slots on this bumper. The yellow Baja lights I installed are not street legal but they are wired up to my factory fog light button.

    Baja also makes a set of pods that are street legal. Does anyone have experience with those?

    It seems other people are running Rigid brand lights.

    I don't see many people running the street legal pods but I'm curious to learn more. One of these days when I build a bumper I'll need some street legal pods as well, I hate running my HID headlights as DRLs.

    I don't normally like plate bumpers but that one looks damn good. That really fits well to the body and the low bar is nice.

    Thanks. I felt like this was one of the better looking options out there. I may change my mind later but as of now, I'm glad I didn't get the full brush guard as it would have made working on the engine difficult. Now I can actually sit or stand on the bumper if I need to.

    It would be nice to be able to have some fog lights I could legally use. The pro's are tempting though. 5,000 lumens vs 2,500 for the ones I linked above.

    It’s legal until you get pulled over for something else. I run my fogs a lot and haven’t had anyone flash or bitch. Cops don’t seem to care, drive by them all the time. Granted my fogs are currently lower than yours but I’m sure you can aim those fogs down a tad.

    I see dudes rolling around with their damn light bars on here but I know I'd get pulled over for bright fogs.

    Get whatever Baja Designs pod you want and run it through a switch pros so you can have them on at 50% power to avoid giving oncoming traffic a tan. :thumbsup:

    dude. theres no good lights out there. just send me the bumper and i'll send you a factory bumper with fog lights. i'll take your burden and you can have my trouble free bumper!



    rigid is nice. but baja designs ive been more impressed with. replaceable lenses are a big selling point for me.
