Baja Designs: General Discussion Thread

[KTM300]

Just had a custom bumper made with room for a 20" light bar, 2 - 5" round lights, and 2 - 4" round lights. Truck is used 90% on highway and 10% off-road. I live in MT, so have several months were snow is a concern. Any recommendations on which lights and which patterns to run? Thanks in advance.

Do you have any photos of the bumper? Depending on the mounting locations your light setup will vary. Also, are you looking to run any of these with other traffic around? If so, the options below will vary. This is one of MANY options available.


Here is one option:

20" OnX6, Spot, LED Light Bar
https://www.bajadesigns.com/products/onx6-20-high-speed-spot-led-light-bar.asp
A longer and narrower 6° beam focus for illumination further down the trail or road.
The Spot pattern is your primary distance light and is designed to be used in conjunction with additional Wide Driving and/or Driving/Combo lights.
$769.95 ------ $692.96 FRF


XL-R80, Pair, Driving/Combo (5.24" Tall)
https://www.bajadesigns.com/products/xl-r-80-pair-driving-combo.asp
Maximum trail coverage in a single light. The Driving/Combo pattern is equipped with both Wide Driving (44°) and spot (6°) optics.
This provides you with a smooth blend of light for both near field, midfield applications, and distance.
$789.95 ------ $710.96 FRF


Squadron-R Pro, Pair, Amber Wide Cornering
https://www.bajadesigns.com/products/squadron-r-pro-pair-wide-cornering-amber.asp
BD was the first to develop a pattern specifically for cornering, dust ,fog, snow, and other poor conditions.
The Wide Driving pattern offers a 42° flattened horizontal beam for the ultimate in comfort lighting.
$439.95 ------ $395.95

Here is a pic of my bumper. I didn't figure that any of your lights would be capapble of being used around on coming traffic. If I could leave some of them on, that would be cool. I was just planning on shutting them all off when there was traffic on the road. We have lots of wildlife, so that is the only reason I would like to use them on the highway. I assume you spec'd the amber, wide corning for use in snow? Do you think they will be able to stay on in a snow storm?

Looks great! None of our lights are DOT/SAE approved. The Squadron-R Sport is considered the most street friendly.
In the Amber Wide Cornering you would more than likely be able to use them with other traffic. It is still up to driver discretion.

I have some squadron pro (or whatever they are called) in my foglights and have been using them as such. they are bright as can be, but haven't had anyone flash high beams yet. take that for what its worth

Do you have any experience or have you heard how those and/or any of your other lights work in a snow storm? I assume since high beams don't work very good in snow, that any bright off-road lights are going to be as bad or worse. Is that a bad assumption to make? Maybe the amber color and flattened beam of the wide cornering work.

Blue covers work best in the snow, but amber works almost as well. A wide cornering would be great for near field lighting in snow and fog.

Yep! We have had experience in Snow and other poor conditions and found our Amber Wide Cornering is best. It is best to have a smooth blend of light down low to avoid extra glare in these conditions. The common problem is long range lights reflecting back into the drivers eyes. That is why Hi-Beams, Spot Lights, or Driving lights aren't great in storms.
