Looking to purchase the bmc kit. Gonna be running a Baja design squadron pro and s2 pro. Need help/recommendations on lens and color. My initial thought is to do Squadron pro combo clear lens and the s2 pro amber wide/cornering. Any one have this setup with pictures and how the light spread is. Definitely open to suggestions.
that's close to my setup. I went with the S2 Sport w/ amber wide-corning though, and for a reason. The Squads are pro/combo/clear.
I resurrected this thread with your concerns in mind mainly because
@Tugboat had the Dirt Guard (which I had installed early January) combined with the BMC kit. The DG has some nice little pockets made for S2's. I ordered that with the S2 Pro clear combo lens back in December. I've been waiting on those, got a call yesterday and those are supposed to be next Tuesday. I'm local to him, so I'll pick them up when they're in. I ordered the BMC last Friday, and got a call from them Tuesday telling me they didn't have to S2-SPORT in the amber wide cornering in stock, seeing if I might go with something different to expidite shipping. I'd thought this through though, and told them I'd wait, and they were really cool about it. Told me it might take 'em a few weeks, so I'm waiting. The BMC group is really good.
All this is with the idea that I can move the sports and the pro S2 between the two positions and trade lens between the two. I'll be able to try the pro's on the outside with the amber wide cornering if the sports don't throw enough lateral light. I may end up with the S2 sports or maybe the pro's w amber wide cornering under the Dirt Guard with the idea that if it's fog/rain/snow, I won't be outdriving my visability cu'z I'm not hauling ass anyway. The very worse case is I spend an extra 50 with baja, and get another set of lenses that get me dialed in. Long term, I want something on the stern, and if need be, I'll order the last S2 accordingly to get exactly what I need on front, otherwise it might be a couple of S1's in back.
Like Tug, I spent a lot of time on Baja's site using their comparison/Zone tools. What I'm looking for is being able to run the BMC S2's off the fog switch and set them up so's not to be too obnoxious or get pulled over if I'm running them with the regular lights, and can decide if amber or clear gets it done. Baja's support to change lenses allows that.
Picture-wise, I wont be able to contribute an opinion for a month. I wasn't in a hurry before this, and got 200 off the dirt guard on sale, and 20% off the BMC kit when the gittin' was good, so it saved me 450 or so. Somethin' else to think of. And the level 3 Dirt Guard is a 10 out 10 for what it is, and what it does, in spite a proud price tag. The extra set of S2's secure, high, and tight underneath while keeping a stock look makes it worth it. The only thing I might add is an After Market nerf above the winch to frame it out, protect the painted bumper, and keep my stadium lighting options open if I ever want to go that way. Otherwise, I like my trucks with a stealthy stock look with serious functionality, so that's how I approach this. Pictures can follow in three or four weeks.
