I finally got all of my lighting zones covered and took these last night. If you’re like me and love night rides, you need additional lighting to stay safe on the trails.

These zones include:

⭐Fog zone: immediately in front of the vehicle, ideally a wide beam pattern with minimal vertical spill. These lights are to cut through and underneath all of the dust and fog. Distance is not the goal here, you want more emphasize on area. These lights would be located in or underneath your front bumper.
💡Hammer Built Flush fit fog light bracket with 4 pairs of Baja Designs S1 in a yellow wide cornering pattern.

⭐Mid Range: this is where your headlights shine, but sometimes you need a little bit extra. These lights should be focused just outside the reach of your fog lights. My ideal location for mounting these lights is on top of your front bumper.
💡Baja Designs LP6 Pro in a combo beam pattern. (Low beams aka driving pattern)

⭐Long range: this might be where your headlight high beams are focused, but your high beams don’t always have the output to reach far enough. These lights would be a spot pattern and you can mount them on your roof or as forward facing A-Pillar lights. Mine are mounted on my bumper, but the higher the location, the better.
💡Baja Designs LP6 Pro Combo beam pattern (high beam aka spot)

⭐Cornering zone or Ditch zone: these lights are intended to spread out that light ahead of the vehicle to supplement your mid range zone. Helps to see upcoming obstacles such as rocks, ditches, animals, etc. these lights are ideally mounted on the A-Pillar and you would point them a little more outwards. You can run a dual A-Pillar set up to have spot optics (forward facing) and flood optics (outward facing to cover this zone)
💡Diode Dynamics SS3 Pro driving/combo

⭐Rear Lights: a tad less critical zone, but still important and extremely useful on dry, dusty trails so the person behind you can still see you. These are probably the only lights that would be useful during daytime. Keep these lights to a wide cornering or flood pattern as to not blind the person behind you. These lights don’t need to be very powerful.
💡Baja Designs Squadron Sport wide cornering pattern

What are your thoughts on all of these lighting zones?
