Alright, I've held off on posting till I got everything properly aimed and did some testing. I reached out to @Specialtyperformanceparts to procure @Baja Designs Laser Hybrid light bars to run with their behind grill kit along with the S2 Pros spot/ cornering for the fogs #allthelight.

After installing with the provided SPV harnesses (Shout out to John and Sydney!) I made the unfortunate error in tightening the light bar too much which resulted in having to pull everything apart when it came time to aim them. So don't do what I did, check you can move them before putting everything back together. Aside from that install was super easy.

Alright, enough talking time for pics.

Baja S2 Pro only with no ambient light in a neighborhood under construction.

Laser Hybrid only pushing light into a complex lighting environment 600 yards out. Down range report was that there was light on the house at the end of the street just can't really rectify with the naked eye.

Laser Hybrid only at my local range 500 yards. Not the best pic but I could positively ID the steel target at 500 yards. At 600, I could see something was there, but I was unable to rectify what it was with the naked eye.

All distances were lazed with a Vortex Razor HD 4000 Laser Rangefinder.

For those unfamiliar, the 10 inch laser hybrid (2 in the behind grill kit) have 2 Laser drivers, 2 racer spots, and if I'm not mistaken, 2 driving combo on each bar. This gives you a nice balance to fill multiple zones with one bar. If you are familiar with Baja's zones, this fills zones 3, 4, 5 & 51. With the s2 pro spot and wide cornering, it fills zones 1 & 2.

Overall the two 10 inch Laser hybrids provide a very well rounded lighting package. The only thing I'm looking to add in the future would be LP4s on the A pillar. I feel this is the only zone I'm missing going through corners. The laser in this size isn't overwhelming with the hot spot either where it would become visually distracting. Make no mistake though, this thing puts out light. Just remember, it's not all about Lumens, this only tells part of the story with lights.

Hope it all makes sense, I wanted to put out some info on these lights being I don't see a ton of people running these (I suspect due to cost). These lights were paid for by me and the only discount were the normal ones SPV offers with no promises of my thoughts or review. My frame of reference on lights and lighting technology is from the firearms industry where like the automotive industry, originally started out all about the lumens. I will give credit to Baja, they are the few who make a good attempt at conveying ratings to really tell you what the light is doing down range.

That is a good amount of light, Looks great, nicely done. How hard was the install?
Pretty straight forward honestly. The tedious part is taking it all apart for the first time. The second time I did it to loosen the bracket to aim them took me no time at all. Maybe 2.5 hours the first time. We did both the light bars and fogs in 4 hours taking our time.

Hey,
