Got the second pair of lights installed last night. Got the SAE fogs in the middle, and Floods on the outside, but still need to wire it all up and get them all aimed and adjusted where I want.

Tried to grab a pic of the back side, hopefully this works. I'm not running the plastic trim pieces, I think it actually looks pretty good without them. Still on stock suspension (thanks for the 5+month lead time fox) and tires up front, with the BDS intrusion beams.

Thanks for the pics, I will need to do same on mine, cause the tire is rubbing on the plastic fog light housing when I turn at full lock.

I got these installed over the weekend. They fit great and are high quality. The black powder coating is nice & thick and looks good, as it blends into the truck better than bare metal.

Will post some pics hopefully this weekend with lights installed. Got buyers remorse on the Rigid D pods (Their amber is too dark imo), but I can confirm you could easily fit 2 Rigids in there and still probably have room for the BD S1 too. You could for sure fit a D series with a D-SS side shooter too. Would be a solid option.

I did have to loosen my bumper because I have my crash bars still and they block the removal of the plastic housing. Maybe with the right wrench you wouldn't have to, but it was much easier with them out.
Got mine installed this weekend too. Install was really easy other than removing the crash bars. But loosing the bumper one side at a time to pull them out was for sure the way to go. Also made it easy to install my new intrusion beams at the same time!

So far I've got one Diode Dynamics SS3 SAE fog mounted on each bracket, hopefully the second pair should get here tomorrow and I can put them in and throw some pictures up, but so far so good!
You guys rule!! Yes, please post up pictures, I want to see them with other light brands! Also, were the instructions (if you used them) clear and easy to follow? Please give me any feedback you guys might have!

These look so awesome! I love how much they fill up the opening!

Hmm... just stumbled across these, and now I'm wondering about this cornering light thing.

So I came from a 2013 Escape Titanium, and one of the unlisted but awesome features was the built in turning light. So when I stumbled across that option in Forscan, I turned it on for the Ranger. Now the one fog light turns on when I turn my wheel. Except the fog light is still pointed forward and isn't nearly as good because of that....


But if I could have those angled ones turn on, now we're talking. And then standard white and standard yellow forward facing fogs to use as the weather dictates... I would assume that I would have to wire the corners up using the factory fog light harness in order to have them work as cornering lights, which then kind of blanks the purpose of the standard fog light switch. Perhaps I can pop that switch out and put the white/yellow harnesses switched there... Now I have to do some research and thought....




Are these brackets going to continued to be offered? I'm thinking I'd be interested in another winter project with them, and will be sad if I go to order them in February and they're sold out and no longer being made.

I have 8 sets left as of now. As long as people are wanting them, I'll be making them. I'll try to keep a set or two on hand as all times.

Quick shot of my temporary set up. Replacing those Rigid Spots with SAEs from Baja Designs. Delay in shipping. Will eventually run the SAEs wired to stock fog switch and these others are currently BD Sports wide cornering.
Still plenty of room for a small S1 or a wider Rigid Dually (D-ss) instead of the one of the others.

my wiring is messy, will get all cleaned up once I have the final config In.

Instructions were definitely clear enough for me. The only thing you may want to consider adding is some details on how to remove the crash bars. It should be easy enough for most people to research, but if you have a stock truck one of the bottom fog light bolts is right up against the crash bar. My BDS intrusion beams came with a pretty easy instruction on how to do it.

That as something I though hard about, but I decided to leave that part out. Even though I removed mine without cutting anything, I wanted people to decide if they wanted to remove them or not. That’s a safety feature I didn’t want to be responsible for, even with a disclaimer. There are plenty good instructions on how to remove them on here and from companies like BDS.

That being said, I’d be more than happy to write up how I removed mine without cutting anything on here or if anyone orders any and asks how to remove them.

Finally got my final fog form set up. Vacation and weird H11 issues. Baja Designs has excellent customer service if y’all didn’t already know. Squadron SAEs inside, Sport wide/cornering outside.

Now, to keep the blue hooks or go back to black?

figured y’all would appreciate the grocery store parking lot pic ?

Anybody got a pic installed with one light per side?


Gonna be putting some Squadrons on. Debating whether to do the bracket now, to make future additions easier, or wait till I have my other equipment. Bone stock up front with crashbars intact.

Don't want it to look too silly while I'm prepping to drop the coin on more lights/switches/etc.

No pic but I did it temporarily and didn’t look too bad. Definitely not bad enough to do all the work to take out the crash bars 2x in my opinion.

That was my thinking as well. Just might be a few months, I have other priorities.
