I finally got to install my @Baja Designs bumper pocket fog light kit this. morning. Everything was super easy except loosening the T40 screws on the underside of the bumper. Luckily, my Ford Dealer was super excited to see a 1st Edition roll up in the service bay and they graciously loosened the screws for me. It looked like they were painted with the bumper and it took two technicians to loosen so they didn't strip the screws, but they got them out! That's really the only issue I had.

Everything on this kit was super straightforward and easy. I wired the SAE lights to Aux 6 since it's easy to flip while driving and put the spots on Aux 5. Again, the upfitter option was so easy it actually makes me want to add more accessories!! Such a great feature on this Bronco. We tied the extra wire to the crash bar to ensure it was out of the way of the front wheel as well as keeping wires invisible. There's also plenty of space under the hood to tie off the extra wires without getting in the way.

All in all, I 'm super pleased with both the function, look, and ease of install with these Fog Lights.

We ran the wire from the px side in front of the bumper using the skid plate connection point as a reference (coat hanger helps here!!)

Kept the extra wires in front of the wheel well to prevent any rubbing. The top of the crash bar has holes that you can zip tie to.

Plenty of space to drop the wires down to get to your fog light pocket (again, coat hanger helps!!!)

Easy tuck in of extra wire by battery. No heat or moving parts here.

Again - so easy and happy to have these upfitter wires just ready for you. Grounding points here as well.

Parts ~$900 and labor was $0. I did it myself

Looking good @PizzaMan
Did the dealership use an impact wrench to remove the T40 bolts (my preferred method for stuck nuts/bolts) or just the proper bit on a long handle socket wrench and brute force?

Nice job PizzaMan, very clean and looks very professional. I very much like the look and the mix of fog and driving lights. I will definitely be doing this to my vehicle, when it comes of course...

Looks great! I am keeping these on the list as well. By the way, I am in Milton. Don't know when I will get mine but will enjoy seeing your updates here.

Very observant Bronco Girl. I missed that the first go round. I wonder if that was Baja Designs fault or the installer

I don’t think an impact was necessary. It took two of them to not strip the bolt-one to hold the bit with upward force and the other to turn. They didn’t seem to think it was that difficult.

The lights came that way. They can only be mounted one way. It bothers me but I figured no one will look that close ‍. There are some face plate screws that look like they can be removed and switch the name orientation but I haven’t tried that yet.

Yeah I wouldn't have noticed except I zoomed in on the pic to get a good look.

They solve a problem for me. I'm getting the BL with the heavy-duty bumper and was upset about the fog-light delete. I like them. ty for posting.

Yup! Diode Dynamics also has a set, however they don’t have the custom bracket from what I can tell. To me, the bracket makes all the difference. Otherwise you’d see too many gaps between each light.

How did you get your hands on them? The Baja Designs website still has them as pre-order.

I just ordered them!! They must’ve not updated their site. I thought they’d be delayed as well and they shipped the next day!
