Baja Design S8 30”

[smurfslayer]

Has anyone ever successfully adjusted the angle after they are installed?

Yes, I use a small socket, swivel, patience and a pint.

This is a 1 pint max job, if you are nearing the end of the pint and it’s no better, return to original point of aim, retighten and retire for the night, enjoying more pints and wondering what it is you missed.

Renegage the next night. You could do this on a garage wall if you have enough distance but only as a guideline. You need a little distance to do it correctly. If you have to, tape over the non spot lenses, the spots are easier to aim.

I agree, S8 first. The difference between s8 and XL80’s

the S8 you can use on the street in a pinch, no oncoming traffic, remote area, you suspect potential wildlife - think remote parkway, lots of woods, mountain roads, etc.

If you nail a road sign with the s8 on, meh. not brilliant, but you’ll live.
Hit that same semi reflective road sign with the XL80s and it will wash out to a bright white spot blaring back at your eyes.

Thats more good and meaty real world analysis of the use of the two lighting systems.

I would be using the S8 similar to as you describe. Careful street use is a must, but you must be aware of your surroundings. Good to know it would be hard to outrun the light output of the S8.

This bar is sounding worthy.

Thats what @JustRaptor1 has been telling me. The backlighting is awesome and it’s a great look. The lighting is also pretty potent. Sounding like a winner.

Sure does, love it!, definitely one of my favorite light mods!

Oh yeah! The back lit fogs look sick!

How many amps does it draw? I've used switches 1-3 already, not sure if I have to move things around.

Your going to need to employ a relay or two for this unit. Depending on how you wire it.

I used a swivel socket and an extension on one side and a swivel and maybe nothing on the other. It was slightly different angles but have done it mounted tight

12 amps for the main light. You’d need switch one or two, or use a relay for the other switches.

Like a lot have done I started with the Squadron Pros in wide cornering and spot in the bumper pockets along with a KC amber lens. I then added the S8 behind the grill and very much liked them however was still experiencing some concerns running the beach in OBX at night with the stumps and also in the fog /rain so just this week added two BD XL 80s on the A-Pillar with the removable amber lenses. I will take it to the Beach this weekend and will post some pictures showing the various lights. I went with the SDHQ brackets and love the set-up so far. As a heads up if you go this route I had the XL 80 brackets powder coated in gloss black to match the lights versus the stainless stock. A huge shout out to Chris and the guys at Off Road Alliance for all the consultations and help! Pictures will follow next week
