I got the SPV front Capable Bumper light mount and wiring harness. And two pairs of Baja Designs Squadron Sport lights - one pair Amber and one pair White. Install is straightforward if you watch their video. Their written install instructions are a good starting point, but the video has all you need.

The SPV mount replaces the factory fog lights. Install was straightforward. Their wiring harnesses, as I've already experienced, are excellent. I like the mount as it allows you to angle the lights forward since the bumper is curved. The light will throw straight ahead. But you have flexibility on how you can focus the lights. The fit and finish are excellent, and the quality of the mount is fantastic.

I got a pair of Amber lights as I do a lot of winter snow/fog driving to the Sierras. And also dusty desert driving. I got the Whites... just because the mounts take two pair and they look cool. Don't know how much I'll use the whites, but I feel good about the purchase. Probably could've bought generic light cubes, but I know they'll eventually fog. And I like how the Baja Designs lights have replaceable lenses for the type of light throw and the color. So if I want four Ambers, I can do that for another $40 in parts from BD.

The Amber are controlled by the OEM fog switch. Which is OK, cause my wife (and I) will press that instinctively. Unfortunately, the OEM fog switch only activates when the headlights are on. Not a big deal, just something to remember. I think there is some Forscan control, but the cheap Windows laptop I purchased from Craigslist no longer charges. You get what you pay for...

The Whites are controlled by an Aux switch.

The only install challenge - my mistake - is that I smashed the wiring against the driver frame horn when I installed the bumper. One light didn't work. Fortunately I had spare Weatherpak connector pins from a prior SPV purchase. And a spare Weatherpak connector that was provided with the BD lights.

Super happy with the purchase. Thanks @SPVPARTS !

Thanks for the write up. I have been wanting to order that same kit. Was thinking about the Rigid lights instead. Maybe get what you got. I also wanted the clear and amber although I will probably wire the amber to auxiliary. Now I just need to save up for it!

Looks good. You’ll want to enable bambi mode via forscan so the amber fogs don’t turn off when your high beams come on.

Now I understand what Bambi Mode is! Thx. I never enabled it initially. Just gotta get that cheap Windows laptop working again!

My BAMF bumper I ordered about 5 months ago showed up last week. The capable will be coming off but I am running BD Squadrons with the BAMF bumper and would like to wire up so the lights use my factory wiring.

@SPVPARTS is the wiring harness available for sale by itself? Or is there a different option? I could go old school and splice wires but prefer a harness if possible.

Yeah, all of our harnesses and components are available separate.

We can step you through anything you need help with.

Here is a link to that section-

https://specialtyperformanceparts.com/collections/spv-parts-harness-system

Let us know what all you want to connect. I followed on the squadrons. I just wasn't sure if you were running one pair, multiple, using the fog connectors, aux switches, etc?

My new bumper can only fit 2 squadrons, 1 on each side. I would think I need a very simple pigtail for this setup.

Below is a reference picture of the new bumper I am swapping to from my capable.

Did the same on my '23 Badlands only with Rigid instead of Baja. Incredibly pleased with the outcome. Definitely stands out from the crowd and adds to nighttime safety. I'm still waiting, however, for SPV to launch mounts for a single row 30" light bar for the capable bumper (between top of bumper and bottom of grill). There's a perfect spot for one there and I can't figure out for the life of me what is holding them back. Is it demand? Am I the only one who wants this?

Hey There!

I am so sorry for the delay on this. We have just been extremely busy with many projects for many different vehicles. We will be working on lightbar mounts, as well as other mounts, for the Capable Bumper soon. We just got a bit hung up creating all new mounts for the 24 Raptor with Modular Bumper, in addition to the new Bronco Everglades & Slotted Adjustable A-Pillar Mounts, as well as some other new wiring options.

It isn't that we don't want to create this, or that we don't plan on still creating it. We have just had our hands tied with a lot of R&D projects recently.

If you haven't already sent me your information to get added to my customer contact list for this item, please feel free to text me your name, email, and phone number and I'll add you to my list to contact as soon as we start preorders for these.
You can text me at (317) 934-6778.

Thanks!
