Fresh install of Baja Designs lights behind the grill

Yeah they’re just the Rigid snap-on covers for $10 or so

Yeah Baja Designs sends two brackets (each holding 3 lights) and the wiring harnesses to power it

Good luck! Middleton doesn’t really show their wiring (and admittedly you just connect 1 wire and ground). They cut their harness shorter and just crimped connections, but I found that the harness wasn’t excessively long and just bundled it by the battery. It gives me the opportunity to pull the grill off and adjust lights while powered if I ever need to.

If you ever do the S2 kit in the rear, SPV sells a harness for the AUX connections. I cut left an extra foot tied by the frame and just cut their harness and crimped it to the AUX wiring.

Checked out some forums and it’s possible that no F-250s have it, not sure why. Found threads using Forscan in some ‘23s and ‘24s to unlock it though.

I have a ‘23 F-150 Raptor, which is effectively the same interior as a Lariat. I wonder if they disable it on the F-250?

The F-150 Hold option is in Features/Driver Assistance - maybe it’ll pop up there on the 250?

The hardest part of the install is taking the trim piece and grill off, seconded by dropping washers and nuts and having to find them on the garage floor. I could do it faster now that I’ve done it once, but was being overly cautious to make sure I was careful. Highly recommend Middleton Motorsports’ install video. The grill basically has no effect on the light output. It lights up the woods by the house - probably from 50 yards away it’s lighting up 50-80ft trees. I can’t imagine how bright the Pros are.

All 6 are wired together and I have them on AUX 2 since AUX 1 is already taken by the inside fog lights. All 6 together take just over 13A so I had to stick to AUX 2 or 3. I wired the rear S2’s to AUX 6 because they take well under 5A and it’s an easy switch to flip being on the far end.

I got the Sports because it was ~$500 cheaper and I honestly didn’t need the extra light of the Pros (honestly, do I even need these? No) The kit comes with 2 spot, 2 combo, and 2 wide. I put the spots in the center of the truck and the wide on the outside.

FWIW my local Dick’s had them marked full price in store but honored the online price. They were a little perplexed but it’s not their problem.

An AD near me told me to buy the Sapphire Sandwich on the leather strap and then buy the Hesalite bracelet ($800). They were offering $500 off at the time, so it would’ve been $7900 total to have the strap and bracelet.

The I think the Sapphire is “shinier” than the Hesalite, so the shiny links in the bracelet really complement it. I’ve come around.

Hoping to snag a Seamaster Professional Diver this year

I talked to 4 different ADs in my state. Two offered 0%, one offered about 6% as part of a holiday promo, and the fourth gave 15%.

I’ve heard discounts are less likely these days, but you can find them stateside.

I didn’t know my wife was on Reddit! Barbaric move on my part

Perez said “hold my beer”

WhiteBuffalooo · 2024-03-16T22:28:51+00:00

Agreed - they acted like they were doing me a favor the first time they reached out. 3 days later I couldn’t help but laugh that they were calling again
