Haha we'll take it!! Thanks for the support!!
Installed
Got mine Friday morning and it’s cool. I’ll get some videos of it. It’s very nicely made. I was concerned about rigidity before I got it. Not really concerned after installing it.
I ended up with 2 red S2 Pro’s and a center S2 Amber Pro. The ambers are very bright. I also went with their most expesive wiring option so here’s what I can do:
So it will:
Red left/right turn signals
Red left/right brake lights
Amber center in reverse
All 3 on by aux switch
The small round led’s under the S2’s are dual brightness. Dimmer running lights, and also function as brake lights.
Overall I’m very impressed.

Any concerns with the RED left/right being too bright for turn and braking signals?

Damn! That looks so good! Can you please get us some night shots? Are the ambers and the red on the same switch?
I'm starting out with all clear and will change lenses as I figure out how it will work best.
Yes! Sorry I should have added that. The reds seem way dimmer than the ambers, but also only come in a spot pattern. So looking directly on (say at a traffic light), they would be quite blinding to a car behind you. The ambers would be rediculous.
So... I fixed it. I added a Skene IQ-275 pwm dimmer to the left and right red turn/brake lights. It was pretty easy. It only takes one of them because it has two separate inputs/outputs. Now, it runs the red lights at 10% power, until I turn on an upfitter, which then turns all 3 on, and changes the IQ-275 to 100% power. Super slick. I can draw a diagram if anyone wants to do it.
This is exactly why I went with the ambers on the outside. Im now debating if I should change to diffused pattern instead of the combo pattern. I’m interested to see a wiring diagram for a dimmer... if it’s not a hassle assuming I find the ambers too bright for turn signal use, don’t need any attention from Johny Law due to m turn signals...
Pro or Sports? Pro ambers are bright! Way way too bright even in the day time to use as turn signals in my opinion. Even dimmed to 10% they might make some people mad.
I went with the sports, reduced the cost by $180 and it’s really a secondary dust light mounted high with the added bonus of a bed light and antenna mount to me... I have the pros in my rear bumper as work lights / dust lights and they are extremely bright, I’ve been running an S2 Pro driving as the main headlight on one of my motorcycles for about 2 years and it’s impressive. Love Baja Designs, I am not ruling out adding a dimmer on the turn signals though...
