Although these have been available for the Raptor since its inception, some customers made us aware that we needed to do a more FORMAL introduction. So hopefully this helps some of you.
We were the FIRST to developed our OEM Replacement fog kits for the big 3 here - Rigid, Baja & Diode in the VERY beginning, before anyone else had released anything Back in October of 2021.
These kits were originally designed around the 2021 F-150 Raptor which utilize the SAME OEM Rigid SAE lights as the Bronco Raptor, AND the new Modular Bumper Raptor 37 and R Packages.
We posted this install video back on Jan 1st of 2022. This video shows the easy installation and replacement. Though it shows an F-150 Raptor, and the Bronco Raptor plastic surrounds look a little different. The lights are the same, and that's what is being replaced WITHIN the housings. Therefore, these replacement kits and brackets are compatible with the Bronco Raptor, Ranger Raptor, F-150 Raptor (21+) INCLUDING the new 24 Model with Modular Bumper.
Engineering-
When we designed our brackets, we had several things in mind.
Our PATENT PENDING T-BRACKET Design accomplish this in many ways.
Including-
- Universal fitment for MORE than just ONE light model/Brand.
- Adjustability
- Strength and durability with 3 points of contact
- Matching OEM look / finish
When it comes to strength and durability, we wanted to be sure the MOUNT POINTS that Ford Used are ALL utilized. There are 3 Mounting points.
The few other options out there that offer replacement lights in there only use 2 mounting points. The ones on the SIDES.
The only thing attaching the lights to the plastic housing then at that point are 2 TINY screws on each side. Again, being plastic, we wanted to utilize all 3 points of contact. It goes without saying, plastic can be brittle. It also goes without saying, any vehicle, including a Raptor of any model, bounces UP and DOWN in a VERTICAL manner when going over rough surfaces. By utilizing the LOWER and CENTERED 3rd mounting point, the up and down vertical movement of the vehicle and the harmonic vibration imposed on the lights within the plastic housing, are stabilized by the 3rd leg of the T bracket. This then stabilizes the entire light housing from left to right and up and down.
Notice the photos below-
From there, any light model or make can be installed as long as it fits within the opening of the housing.
So we have kits for the Direct Replacement Rigid SR-M models in the PRO series here. Since the lights will look the SAME as the original 2 SAE lights, you can choose replace just ONE pair or BOTH with the SR-M Model
https://specialtyperformanceparts.c...brackets-rigid-sr-m-direct-replacement-lights
Then for those who prefer Baja Designs, we have an Array of any light for those as well in these 2 variation kits. One has SAE S2 and other combo lights in it and the other has Just Pro and Sport S2's.
https://specialtyperformanceparts.c...-kit-with-brackets-and-baja-designs-s2-lights
https://specialtyperformanceparts.c...-kit-with-brackets-and-baja-designs-s2-lights
And then we have Diode Dynamics. For those who want backlights. You can also use our Diode Dynamics SSC2 kits.
https://specialtyperformanceparts.c...-with-brackets-and-diode-dynamics-ssc2-lights
From there, we also offer just the brackets. If you want to reuse some old S2's or something. We won't restrict you there. We would love to work with you on lights as well however, so if you need some lights. Do reach out to us first. We can often times meet or beat any so called deals you may think you are getting and since we are authorized through these companies. Warranties are a breeze. In fact, often times when people buy one thing here, another there and another somewhere else, they spend MORE than just getting a full kit. So just check. If its a better deal we will tell you. However, if you already have some S2's, SSC2's or Rigid SR-M's, then using them with a set of these brackets is a great option...
For Baja S2's these are the ONLY bracket needed.
https://specialtyperformanceparts.c...lights-sold-separately?variant=44291281944808
For Diode SSC2 and Rigid SR-M, you need 2 pairs of these Forward/Rear facing U brackets as well. This is because the little U Brackets that come with the Diode and Rigid SR-M lights won't swivel BEHIND the lights for proper facing. In Diodes case, they actually put the plug in for the harness directly under where the bracket goes so we had to design it carefully to fit.
https://specialtyperformanceparts.c...light-mount-brackets-fits-diode-dynamics-ssc2
In any of these kits, you will get a set or both sets of these brackets with your kits.
Then for wiring. Each Baja kit comes with 2 pairs of these direct Plug N Play Connectors-
https://specialtyperformanceparts.c...ther-pack-adapter-baja-designs-squadron-s2-s1
For the Rigid SR-M Models we have 2 pairs of these DT 2 Way Plug in adapters-
https://specialtyperformanceparts.c...nnector-adapter-rigid-d-series-diode-dynamics
And for Diode, since they have the backlights, we have a really quick and easy plug n play kit available to connect everything, including the backlights to either a separate switch our our integrated marker/headlight adapters for an OEM function with the parking/marker lights.
Diode will include these adapters with backlight port-
https://specialtyperformanceparts.c...dapter-backlight-port-diode-dynamics-radiance
And then these DT4 Pole adapters to match the Diode Lights-
https://specialtyperformanceparts.c...s-system-works-with-many-vehicles-see-details
(We will soon have a new adapter that essentially combines those 2, into one. The advantage of the 2 adapters is the universal fitment to may lights. However, we will simplify those here soon with a 3rd option. You may get the 2 with your kit or in a few weeks start getting the new combination. In any case, they are plug n play and easy to connect.)
From there, we deal with the backlights. So the Diode kit will include one of these backlight Y harnesses. It will connect to the 4 single backlight ports on the 4 adapters and combine them to one. It will then come out by your Aux wires. You can either connect it to an Aux switch and turn the backlights on and off manually.... Or to our Headlight adapter (also part of our patented harness system) to utilize the backlights automatically when the headlights come on or the parking/marker lights. When you lock and unlock the doors, it will also flash like stock.
https://specialtyperformanceparts.c...s-system-works-with-many-vehicles-see-details
Here is the Headlight Adapter-
https://specialtyperformanceparts.c...kers-spv-harness-system-works-w-many-vehicles
You can also get a little more creative though than the standard kits. We have several people who like to put both pairs on one switch, like the Fog switch and free up their Aux 1 switch again for other stuff.
You can do that easily as well by adding a pair of our Molex Splitters here and a relocation harness. You would plug your 4 adapters into the splitter and then the splitter into the connector in your bumper that is the fog switch on both sides.
Then, you would plug one side of the relocation harness into the 2 ports that are the Aux 1 switch. It would then just route up to the other Aux switch area where you have access to that connection with your other 5 Aux switches #2-6.

https://specialtyperformanceparts.c...x-1-fog-switch-relocation-plug-n-play-harness
We have some nice videos here on the F-150 Raptor with these conversions. Even though it is an F-150 Raptor, it still is the same application, so you should have a nice takeaway from these-
We will do some updated videos on these soon, but if any of you get one of these kits, take some video as well or pictures and post them on this post so others can see! We would love the feedback.
Also, any of your snap on covers will work with these. So The Rigid SR-M Amber Pro or Yellow covers, or the stock "RAPTOR" printed one you have on your stock lights. The Baja Yellow or Black covers and the Diode Covers.

Do let us know if you have any questions or need any help.
Hopefully this has been informative.
On one last note. The other nice thing about any of these kits, is that since they are a true OEM replacement and plug n play. Many people like to change vehicles. Maybe you start with a Bronco Raptor and trade that in on an F-150 Raptor.. or Vice Versa. You can take your fog kit with you and reinstall them in the next truck. Just always KEEP any leftover pieces you remove from the housings and those old SAE lights in a safe place. That way you can easily reinstall them back into your truck for sale/trade in.
Also, for more EXTENSIVE Fog kits. As we have stated in many of our other posts with our new Modular Bumper Brackets. We will have some other new complete replacement Fog kits available as well!
For those of you that follow us, you know... compared to many other sellers out there. We don't just "Sling" things together or "Halfway Repurpose" stuff that doesn't fit or work PERFECT... So you can rest assured, that when we bring out some additional options here, they will be GRADE A and look the part.
I am working on some REALLY REALLY cool options here for your 24 Raptors... I don't want to say what they are out loud, because we do have some places out there that follow our posts and like to snick our ideas and try to sling something out that's a sub par copy before we release ours. We prefer to do things top notch rather than just throw stuff out there... So I can tell you this much. You will REALLY like what we are working on for your 24 models.... So STAY TUNED!!!

my Rigid lighting system from Specialty Performance (SPV). We also went for the Rigid replacement fog / driving lights in the factory front bumper.
