GEN 2 Buying products for your Raptor?

[WhatExit?]

I'll also add that (in my case at least ) it should be noted that my center light location doesn't allow for the light to rotate up enough to point straight (light hits the bumper on the bottom) this is why I use this location for fogs.... works perfectly for my application.

So you're saying the 2 Baja Design lights cannot be angled upwards enough to give you the down-range aim that you want? Does Baja Designs know this about their kit/brackets? (I don't want to have that issue when I buy them).

I bought my lights right as they came out and absolutely love them. BD lights are (in my opinion) the best on the market. My setup is a little different than most since I ordered my lights right as the kits were being finalized. I have 1 set of Squadron Pro wide cornering on the inside, 1 set of Squadron Pro spots in the middle and 1 set of S2 Pros (with amber rock guards) on the outside. I bought mine from @Rick@FreedomMotorsports. He was great to work with and got me a great deal. He was even able to work directly with BD ensure that I got the lights I was looking for.

You can see my setup here:

Thanks for posting the link to your install - it's helpful as I don't remember seeing it before.

Do you have any problem with adjusting the angle of your Squadron Pro lights up or down as Smokeshow60 mentioned in his post? (If not maybe his brackets are different or he installed them differently?)

Here's your install from your thread:

Correct.. on mine anyway I cannot aim them all down-range. However I didn't intend on doing so. I like my fogs to be pointed at the road the way they should be. If you zoom in on the pics you helped me post you can see where the interface issue is.. but like I said it's not an issue for me.

I think I figured it out for you...

Looking at Crash457's thread:

He mentions the bracket installation and "If you try to install it facing forward the middle lights hit the bumper."

Sounds like that's the issue with your installation?

From his thread:

The bracket is held the the factory 8mm bolt and two allen head bolts (4mm) and 10mm nylock nuts. The bracket faces the rear. If you try to install it facing forward the middle lights hit the bumper. I also found it was easier to mount the lights on the bracket first.

And here's HKGuns' post about that...

I initially had my light brackets facing forward and ran into the problem you describe. Even with them facing rear the clearance is close.

I left the outside S2 lights facing forward and they stick out of the bumper a bit and I think that gives them better light spread to the sides.

Here's your install from your thread:

I had no problems adjusting mine. I can angle mine up and down by as much as ~10° from centered. I can change the left to right by as much as ~15° from centered. I run my S2s angled slightly down and inward. I run my Squadron wide level and slightly out and my Squadron Spots perfectly level and straight. This gives me pretty good coverage.

I saw a post by someone who changed out the Allen head bolts to hex bolts. Was it challenging to get the hex head wrench in between the lights or pocket to loosen and tighten the bolts?

Yup... my main brackets are facing forward.. However when I tried other configurations the lights sat too far back for my personal taste. I'm pretty pleased with them as is.

It's tight but using standard L shaped Allen keys allows enough room to adjust them. Hex heads might make it easier but it's not that difficult with the Allen keys.

Lol. Still not working I think
