Did Someone Say Baja

I just got my set of baja s2 sports in for my backup light idea. So I went to home depot and got flat bar with holes in 14ga steel and cut to 4 holes. Than I took off the bottom tow hitch nut on both sides and just enlarged the top mounting hole slightly. Lined it up and tightened it down than I used the mounts from the and mounted them up. After seeing it again today I would reccomend 5 holes so you can have a little more movement. Wiring it was easy since I already had the curt 5 pin adapter on there for my opt7 triple. I used posi taps and tapped into the curt harness, white for ground and blue for reverse and tapped in the baja splitter so I don't void any warranties. I left the clip intact so I can possibly add a switch later in time. I am very happy with the way they came out and like that you can always purchase the different lenses to change beam pattern or color. *UPDATE* here are the updated brackets and spacers to get if more flush with the bumper and I actually used 6 holes as a measurement for the bracket

Didn't cut the harness so a switch can be done in the future when I find the perfect spot.

Now that is an illuminated rear camera!
They are a little high you see the spots so low in the camera making a longer one bow and will add a spacer to try and get it more flush with the bumper will post when done

Awesome did you do the sports or the pro and how did you hook them up?

I got the Sport, "Wide Cornering" version.

I hooked them up with a 7-pin trailer splitter. I cut one of the ends of the "Y" off, and used the extra connector parts Baja sent to put pins on the reverse and ground wires, and put those into the connector that mates up the the lights' Y-harness.

Nice, I am actually going to swap out my sports for pros soon, I have it hooked up to turn on in reverse and my wireless kit, really liking baja quality and output, did you see my hood lights from baja?

Yeah, saw your hood lights--very nice! I don't really feel like I need more light in the front, but the factory reverse lights are terrible and needed an upgrade.

On an unrelated note, your pictures just made me realize that the trailer wiring connector on these trucks is Mr. T. So, there's that.
