I'm about to pull the trigger on these:

https://fordraptorlights.com/collec...kc-flex-lights-and-17-raptor-triple-bezels-hw

Is that a FRF vendor? If no, please link this product from a vendor. Would be glad to support.



Nice Jabroni! Thanks for giving vendors a shot at your business.

That bezel fits a pair of Baja Designs lights perfectly!

FWIW, I'm going with the Baja Designs Kit because it comes with their S2 lights which put out a lot more lumens than the lights that kit is designed for.

-----------------------------------------



The vendors are given leeway to promote the product by selling at a reduced price. The manufacturer will sell only at list price unless they want to kill their marketing and distribution network. I would much rather use a supporting vendor knowing they have a vested interest in the market and product.


Well said and thank you.

And I agree with you (and I'll bet the vendors agree with you but they don't dare come on here and say it) when you say...

"The manufacturer will sell only at list price unless they want to kill their marketing and distribution network."

I have this kit and can vouch for their effectiveness. They are quite good.

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 sharing - here's your setup:

Few questions:

* Which of their kits did you get?
* Are they Spot or Combo or ?
* Which / how many AUX switches?

Hey. Thanks for that.. wtf am I doing wrong? The thing? I have to put that in separate or what?
*ultimate kit. 2x racers (spot) , 2x pro (amber combo lens) 2x s2 pros (wide driving)
* I wired my pros (amber ) to the #2 aux and put everything else on a relay with switched power coming from #1 upfitter and a 12v trigger coming off of my high beam circuit.

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.

You're missing the forward slash before the last "IMG" - it should look like this:

Image Hosted Elsewhere

If you want to embed an image that is hosted elsewhere on the internet, first get the direct url to that image (it should end with .jpg .jpeg .gif .tiff or something similar).

Then, when drafting your post, click the Img button at the top. It will bring up a pair of tags that look like this:




Past your image URL in between the two code tags, like so (but without the line breaks):

Speaking of supporting vendor, it would be really nice if the admin's actually responded to requests about info for becoming one... just saying...
