Baja Designs: General Discussion Thread - GEN 2

Really like the BD S1 lights.

Questions:

1. Do the S1 replacement lenses fit the flush mount S1 lights? Are the cube and flush mount interchangeable?

2. Difference between S1 laser and S1 combo - lumens is 4.5 times on the combo compared to laser and beam is tight on the laser.
Looking to fill the outside corner on bumper pockets.

thanks

Just like the S2/Squadron Series, the S1s are the same housings for both flush mount and the regular ones. It's just a different bezel but everything else is the same. So you could buy cubes now and move them to a flush mount setup later by just getting new bezels (we stock/sell the replacement bezels for this reason as we've had customers do just this)

The S1 laser is a laser. It's a VERY fine spot pattern that goes far. The combo pattern is a driving/combo pattern. Completely different circuit boards underneath the hood between an S1 laser and other S1 lights.

Same for the Squadron Racers. Less lumen in the Squadron Racers over a Squadron Pro but it goes a LOT further.

Loved doing this build with y'all, Bridget! Can't wait to see the pics from the professional shoot!

I would not recommend running an S1 laser in the fog location. Sure, it will work and fit in the location. But anything built for distance, you're going to want to mount as high as possible.

Thanks for your input. I was leaning towards S1 combos in that area. At some point, A pillar spots probably.

Doing the lights slowly to see what fits my needs.

That's a great idea. I assumed that they were the same housing and makes sense. I might go for the cubes and get the flush mount bezels. I really like the look of the flush S1 and maybe swap to amber wide.

I think I'm gonna go with S1 combos in the pockets.

@4x4TruckLEDs.com you have some great deals on your site. Thanks for your help.

Hey @Baja Designs

Is the Black Friday rebate available to Canadian customers?

We’re really nice people, I swear.

Baja designs messaged me and said "Screw The Canadians AND their maple syrup!"

I actually love maple syrup. I've had it fresh made both in Vermont and in Canada. Nothing better on some nice blueberry pancakes!

This is good on pancakes and on its own. A great way to start the day.
