Baja Designs Squadron SAE Fog Lights AMBER vs CLEAR | Tacoma Install + Light Output Test

** Use code "ChloeK10" for 10% off at Baja Designs! **

In today's video, I show you my Baja Designs Squadron SAE Fog Lights 💡 that I've installed on my Tacoma. These Squadron SAE's are street legal, and have gone through rigorous testing to ensure that they are an upgrade from most LED, HID, and Halogen factory fog lights. In the video, I compare the amber and clear colors, show you the light output improvement with Baja Designs on my truck compared to stock, and take you through an install.

Benefits to BD's amber:
- BD utilizes white LEDs projected through an amber lens, which allows the fog lights to have the tried and true LEDs they've carefully selected, and gives you the ability to change the lens on the fly.
- Amber lighting performs superior in inclement conditions. It does exceptionally well at cutting through dust, fog, rain, and snow-- providing less reflection back at the driver and improving on terrain recognition.

Props to you for showing us the beam pattern WITHOUT the headlights on!!

Greetings from the Philippines! First of all, I am an OLD guy. It's so nice to watch this channel because you remind me of myself when I was younger. Getting my first truck and being so happy about it. Doing DIY mods or just simply cleaning it makes me happy. Now at 49 years old, I kind of lost interest. I have two trucks now and they are just sitting in the garage just gathering dust and rotting.
I forgot what it was like to be excited. This channel gave me back some of that youthful exuberance to tinker. Thank you Chloe! keep it up.

Two pieces of advice for others: First, in the instructions from Baja, it says to put the star washer between the light and bracket. I've seen several videos mix this up and Baja's instructions don't have a great description/diagram of this so I can see why people are confused on this. An assembly like this should be screw, flat washer, bracket, star washer, light. The star washer is not to prevent the machine screw from vibrating loose (use some non-permanent loctite for that). The star washers bite into the light body and bracket and keep the light from rotating up/down. The flat washer lets you to tighten the screw while not spinning the bracket out of vertical. Second piece of advice is that it is much faster and easier to install from the engine bay. I know it is not as easy to film, and the video shows what is truly going on, but don't fight with fender liners. Pre-build your lights and wires completely. Then get a magnetic Philips bit on a stubby screwdriver and you are good to go. The stock fogs and new lights slip in/out beside the top ends of the rad. The driver's side even has a sightline on the screw. You can easily line up the tabs looking from the front of your bumper, hold it with one hand, then screw in place with the other. All wires have enough slack to confirm Toyota green to Baja brown and make final connection after the light is installed. I did both sides in <10min working from above. - thanks Chloe. Have a great day.

Good job girl. You really do a great job covering all the comparisons and editing the video to make it easy to watch. Thanks for taking the time to make these.

Chloe!! Your videos are so good! You actually go through a step by step walk through of the process of the disassembly, replacement and then installation. If I was living in the America and in San Diego, I would pay you to even do installations if I got a Toyota Truck. But the cost of vehicles in my country are very expensive!!!!
Good job Chloe!!! You have really great professionalism in doing your truck mods and installations!

They were back ordered for a while. Got a better deal with diode dynamic SS3 pro’s and the output is amazing. Put them next to my buddy’s Tacoma with the baja design ones. And he was pissed that mine were brighter, also went further and cost less.

Great video. I'll have to look into those lights myself. I love the way you show interest in how the product works (ex. PCB) and not just how the exterior looks and how they perform. Keep up the great work.

Found your channel from the NY to CA drive, since I will be driving my 2020 TRD PRO from PA to WA. Just been watching the rest of the Tacoma videos since. Great job! Very thorough.

[inthedaaark]

Idk how I ended up here. I don’t care and I know absolutely nothing about trucks, cars, or really any vehicle-y things. Somehow I found myself interested enough to watch the entire video, ended up subscribing.

But on another note... I do drive a Toyota

[kerrygibbs]

This is a top quality how to and comparison!!! I’ve watched other, this shows the mechanics of the installation. You also told us about the polarity’s of the wires. Comparison light patterns were top notch. As a 62 year old key board warrior…. Great job!!

[Exaltedbaecon]

I've actually been thinking about picking up some of these for my 4runner. Your timing on putting this video out was perfect. Thanks!

[JVR-gdzw]

Best output comparison I've seen. Outside at night and no headlights. Awesome thanks.

[jessetankou]

Oh my goodness those yellow fog lights look amazing.. And the DRLs make your truck look mean 👌👍🏽

[rbsaurusrex]

Just bought these for my christmas present. One thing to note is that these lights dont have a very wide beem but they have a deeper beem than most of the other fog lights I have looked at. These are very well built and cant wait for the rain to stop so I can install them.

[TmacFL-buow]

Finally pulled the trigger and ordered the amber version. Can’t wait. Buy once, cry once.

[ZD]

You killed the video! Nice stuff, think I’m going to pick some up now for my taco 😅.

[jepgginspius]

Damn that effort tho to change back again and again amber or clear👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 deserves more subscribers

[paulmakin]

I got a pair and for 1 done today before it got dark. Your instructions are way better than theirs😃

[moiihrndz]

Your channel is growing so fast! Congratulations!!
