Are all of your 4 different types of lights on different aux switches?

On the a-pillar I mounted a set of KC Hilites Flex Era 4 combo beam lights. The nice thing about them is I also added the clear and amber lens covers so I can adjust as the conditions dictate.

your post has talked me into buying the flex 4 and the mounts you have. However can’t but help notice you have the anti theft hardware on the lights, but a common allen head key could remove the mount quite easily. Looks like your from NYC area..maybe less crime than what I hear?

I am really pleased with the lighting result of my DIY fog lights. I had to adjust them slightly downward to keep from blinding people in front of me.

Haha no you are correct, they'd have to take the whole mount...but I have a pew pew with me at all times - that can be quite a deterrent to anyone going down that path. 😏 I'm probably going to replace the Allen key heads with tamper resistant hardware just need to find anodized aluminum or black stainless.

Those recommending A-pillar lights as fog lights have clearly never driven in dense fog at night. All they'll do is completely blind you (ask me how I know).

Been wondering when someone would mention that. They have to be as low as possible.

The pew pew only helps if you're sleeping in your car. Get some security torx to keep the honest people honest.

Need a little help with fog lights, lights on a bumper bar and pillar lights selection. I know there are a ton of threads on this topic but my question is a little more specific. Were the fog lights, etc you purchased based on where you drive? For those of you that do off-roading/trail driving was your selection based on that? Or was your selection simply based on a setup that you liked? I’ve seen threads in this forum where people have listed their light combination. One thread I came across listed DD ss3 pro driving, ss2 pro fog white and ss2 pro fog amber. Another thread I came across ssc3 combo, ssc3 sae fog (yellow) and ssc2 sae fog (white) was listed. Wondering why those were the lights that were selected. I am not questioning why they selected what they did, just questioning what factors made them select the lights that they did. I basically drive on both lit and unlit roads under normal driving conditions, in heavy rain and snow and in both light and heavy fog. Does anyone have any suggestions for each type of light? Are bumper bar lights and pillar lights a waste of money for what I’m using them for? This is the first vehicle that I have ever owned that I am adding accessories to. I am really glad that I bought a Bronco and I don’t mind spending money on lighting, etc. to make it look good. I am looking for something that I can install myself. Any input is greatly appreciated.
I'm not sure if you pulled the trigger yet but we're having our Holiday Sale right now. I also see you're from Hudson Valley, NICE! I was just up your way last night (Newburgh area) to visit family. We're down here on Long Island so you'd be supporting a NY business. Our KR Off-Road brackets are actually made here on Long Island.

So now is a good time to pickup some lights: https://www.4x4truckleds.com/vehicle-specific/ford/ford-bronco/2021-bronco/

These guys answered one of my questions on Christmas day - I had sent it out not thinking much about it after dinner certainly wasn't expecting a reply for a day or two. But there it was. I pulled the trigger - looking forward to it.

That's why folks buy from us. We're pretty much available 24/7 to answer questions. We'll respond at 8am or 2pm or even 10pm on Christmas Day sometimes :) (not sure when you reached out to us but glad we got you taken care of)

You need a bracket on a modular bumper to get the lights to fit properly.

You could do 1 set of Baja Designs lights you'd need the following:

Brackets: https://www.4x4truckleds.com/kr-off...ckets-for-2021-ford-bronco-hd-modular-bumper/

If you plan to just buy a fog light switch for your truck and program the circuit in, you could go with this pigtail:

https://www.4x4truckleds.com/crysta...il-pair-2021-ford-bronco-w-hd-modular-bumper/

And then a pair of Squadron SAE lights: https://www.4x4truckleds.com/led-auxiliary-lights/baja-designs/squadron-sae/

You'll want the square bezel ones to make them fit/look properly (round does not look right in my opinion as it's a rectangle style hole)

Then you'd get a pair of fogs without having to buy a complete triple fog light kit. We've had a few people do that. Just buying our bracket and 1 pair of lights.

If you wait till Tuesday (or use our quote tool) we're having a HOLIDAY SALE. So our brackets will be on sale, along with a FULL kit if you want a full kit at a discount

Thanks! I just placed my order. I ended up going with the full BD triple fog light kit with the KR flush mount.

Yes it's a nice area. I'm actually not far from Newburgh. I have not pulled the trigger yet. Still trying to decide on what I want. I never answered your question from your first reply to me where you asked about the type of bumper on my Bronco.....I have a modular bumper. I am leaning towards Baja Designs but am open to suggestions. I'm looking for something readily available as I don't want to wait months for lights.
