Do not bother with Baja wiring harnesses. You can make better yourself, and the rite length. Use a double insulated wire.Putting on weather pac connectors is easy. With sdq mounts and x 80 lights you can route wire into fender well behind the mount. Just take the weather pac apart and drop wire down. You are now in the engine bay. Flat 3 wire double insulated feeds easy under hood hinge. If you use the enclosed harness get some split loom to cover it

That’s essentially what I just did installing my new squadron pros. I bought the upfitter harness when I bought the lights so I went ahead and used that, but I cut the wire tap off of them and put on a weather pack connector on both the harness and the upfitter wires. I put it in the loom snaked it around behind the battery down the behind the headlamps to the passenger side fog lamps.

I did not like what BD includes to connect the driver side to the passenger side either. So I bought some 12 gauge automotive wire put on the weather packs, wrapped the wires in loom and automotive tape at the ends. I also bought the 2 to 1 splitter from BD and they work fine.

I haven’t decided what the best way to run the harness from the upfitter down to the passenger side foglight is at this point. I’ve got it in there but I don’t know that it’s particularly optimal and certainly doesn’t look neat and OEM.

I ended up running the harness under the washer reservoir and into the wheel well then out behind the headlight. It looks nice and tidy and out of the way.



Here’s the harness I made to connect driver side fogs to the upfitter harness.

Does anyone know whether Bailey from Baja is still employed at Baja?

She has posted numerous times in this site, and I’ve written her three times to enquire about LP9 lights for my 2019, which just arrived today.

If this is indicative of Baja customer service, then Baja probably isn’t the right company for me.

I’ve had great customer service from them but suggest going through one of their distributors, specifically Nick at Apollo Optics. Very responsive, knowledgeable and the same pricing as BD.

Have you tried calling them directly? I wouldn’t judge a company by one employee, particularly around the holidays. Besides, I think I read that Bailey moved, maybe to Colorado or something like that but is still employed at BD. I could be wrong though.

Could be closed for the holidays right now. Usually they are very prompt. Odd no one has got back to you. Usually very active on this forum.

I wrote on Dec 3, Dec 11, and today. So, she must be having a long vacation.

So help me with this one guys....I installed the Pro light kit and was running the harnesses. I saw CJ you tube video and tried it his way. Needless to say I will find another route more like Speeddeamons. So I ran the 55inch splitter over the skid plate as CJ suggested. So no power wires were connected...None. When I snugged the harness up above the skid plate smoke SMOKE!!! So much I could not see the wires form the top. WTF. no Power connection was every made to the battery. The splitter harness melted. Hot!! burn you hot. What the heck did it contact and even if it did find something all the wires are coated and double protected. Baja Dude said maybe hot exhaust but the truck hadn't been running in two days . Any ideas ?
