How to repurpose BD squadrons

[BoostCreep]

i dont think itll look weird at all, just a tad smaller than these.

yeah i love mine, a lot more usable than even my sports for actual light throw for the street, my sports send a lot of light but its everywhere and doesnt go as far.

The squadrons are a good bit smaller than the XLs, I think it could look good but you’d need more than 6.

reverse / running lights on the bumper - that’s what I did with my squadron sports.

the new B/D SAE fogs work great for what they are and they’re road legal. I tend to use my amber squadron pros for rural high beams. I get far enough throw, and wide dispersion. I just leave the SAE on. They do help, within their limits.

Wow, yeah the new designed SAE BDs look quite a lot better. Can't wait to get my old ones rebuilt.

Hey...So i just traded in a G2 for a G3 and I had 6 squadrons in the bumper fog light area. I pulled off all my lights to swap over. I plan on keeping the rigids as fogs as I like the factory look of them and the ability to use them on the street. Id like to order one of these

my only reservation is I've only seen pictures of big lights on those bumper mounts. Would the small squadrons look ok? Id rather not do a behind the grill kit because Id actually like to see them. Just curious if anyone has done a bumper mount and not used LP6-9s XL80s etc. I would swap in some bigger units, but I've already got XL80s for the pillars and those put out more than enough light anyway. Thanks.

Our behind-the-grill kit would also be a great option as well.
Best,

Feel free to send them for the free upgrade. The current wait time is 2-4 weeks for upgrades.

Yeah I need to send my old SAE BDs back in for the upgrade which I'm planning on doing before doing any of this. Thanks for the opinions, I agree that 6 small squadrons would look a little "off" on a bumper mount. Ill do either the fog light area or behind the grill. The vendors seem to want to sell those behind the grill mounts with lights, I assume if i call them I can order just the mounts. Thanks!

We carry the Baja Designs behind the grille brackets only and can put the brackets and wiring together for you so you can reuse your six Squadrons behind the grille, if you want. Alternatively, you could fit the same 6 Squadrons in the fog openings on either side of the truck and we carry those brackets as well.

Feel free to send me a message if we can assist.

Here is the Foutz mount with a 40in light bar. The biggest issue is the light blocks the camera. The squadrons would less inclined to block the camera depending on spacing. The behind the grill option may be the best route as far as the camera is concerned.

I have two SAE squadrons on either side of my 6in lights on an ADD bar, similar to Foutz mount, I don’t think a row of squadrons would look bad.

Out of curiosity, could you post a picture showing how obstructed the view is on the camera?

Sure I’ll do it tomorrow
