- Chupacabra Offroad back in the desert out here at Superstition OHV in the Imperial Valley, CA testing out the Baja Designs light setups that we used on the ChupTurboTwins. We wanted to get out and do some light testing and check out the differences in the light setups that we used some similarities and differences to see what we thought was the best lighting pattern.
The similarities that we both used were the OEM replacement squadron pro kit from Baja Designs putting out close to 20k lumens. This is where things start to change, on Andrew's RZR he decided to go with 3 XL pros on a front bumper putting out 4900 lumens each. Heading up to the roof rack Andrew went with a 30” racer edition light bar. This light bar can shoot a narrow beam a mile down the road with its 4-degree optics. Out back, he decided to run 4 S2 Pro’s flush mounts to be seen in the thickest of dust.
Heading over to Nicks RZR again using the OEM replacement squadron pros in the headlight spot. Moving up Nick decided to go with a 40” dual action light bar from Baja Designs with a spot combo lens. What’s nice about the dual-action light bar is that it has both amber and clear that you can turn one or the other for the dustiest of conditions you may come across. Heading out back in the rear wing you will find that Nick went with the Rear light bar (RLB) from Baja designs, Nick wanted a rear chase set up that he could integrate turn signals due to him being street legal in Arizona. For the overall conclusion of Baja Designs Products, these are the best lights out on the market! The U-Service aspect and running their LEDs at 100% capacity makes a world of difference when relying on forward projected light to get you through the night -- You can always trust Baja Designs.

Funny thing about algorithms: sometimes they make no sense; sometimes they make all the sense in the world. I'm so grateful you came up in my feed because I just bought a Baja LP6 for my 2023 Harley touring model, and your video affirmed I made the right buying decision. Your video is, by far, the most educational on lighting, and particularly validating in terms of explaining the high cost of the Bajas. Thank you. I subbed. ✌🤘
This video is so well put together! Thank you gents. Out here in AZ, you’ve changed my mind about lighting and I’m picking up some Baja Ambers right now!
Thank you! How are you liking them? Worth the dough?
@@ChupacabraOffroad absolutely worth it! I ended up getting the S8 amber for the shock tower and squadron pros for the TMW bumper and when running in the dust, I kill the 50” light bar and only run the pods and shock tower and man it cuts through the dust so nicely. Out at the dunes I ran everything and it ridiculously bright.
Best vid I have seen yet regarding off road lights and past experiences with other brands. Currently own an X3 Turbo R & a JKU. Had an Off-Road center in Phoenix that was selling me on Baja D's competition was difficult to decide. Has been some time but your vid solidified my decision, thank you!
Awesome, thank you! I think you will be more than happy, my other RZR has Baja D (light bar) and Rigid (bumper lights) and the Baja D's are stellar!
@@ChupacabraOffroad Super, will be added to my list....is much appreciated
Well worth the money, great output with a small amp draw , only aftermarket lighting Ill buy
Been running Amber/3000k Fogs and a 15 lower on my pickup and RZR for 10-15 years. When you get into thick fog or blizzard shut the higher 5000k’s down and you will be amazed the distance and clarity you get from 3000k/amber colour. Have them on dedicated circuits you can tune your output for conditions.
I've been blown away by the Ambers, and I hope people in this video take that info, if nothing else, that if you are in fog and dust, its great to have them.
Guys very nice video thank you very much very helpful to me
Great Job Nick, very helpful!
Randy Lewis you buy a Rzr yet?
@@ChupacabraOffroad not yet, hopefully soon. Looking at the RZR Pro 4
Great video. I was on the fence. I'm sold now. Hopefully BD took care you. Keep it up.
They, but it's always easy to get excited about amazing products like theirs.
Great video. Light manufactures should take note on this comparison style.
Thank you! So many options out there, we hope this provides a little more help to those looking to spend money on lighting upgrades.
Awesome review! Baja Designs is local to us and their lights are definitely on the wish list.
Thank you
I use to live a few hundred yards walk from Baja D, but moved to Arizona 3.5 years ago, I love North County!
I would love to get some of these light bars like the 40 inch onyx6 but the price is expensive, not saying it’s not worth it because if I had the money I would definitely get it baja designs but it’s gonna take a little before something this nice is obtainable. However I always come back to this video to see the lighting it always just what I need for glamis or trail rides
Awesome Video Nick! I have Rough Country slim light bar on my RZR. $400 looks good. But we all know BD is the best lights you can get. I might pick up some pods in the near future.
G’s Life def try a set of ambers/ covers, work amazing in the dust
Awesome review thanks for doing it , I have a question are you running 33” tensor or 35”
Julio Valencia the 33’s, liking them so far. Curious to see how they look after 1000 miles on them...
Great video I know how difficult it is video with a drone and all the other shots, especially at night.👍
Thank you, we tried to show the setups as best as we could.
Just installed an OnX6+ on the bumper of a Gladiator. Amazing light.
Great product and great resale value as well, congrats...
Great video on Baja Designs lights. My buddy has their street legal kit on his YZF450 and it is super high quality. For just having that 4 pod headlight its crazy bright. I noticed Andrew is running that Trinity exhaust on his Razor. How about a review of that?
Kieran Mann we will drive them back to back and have him follow up if he feels any power difference .. it sounds cool for sure
What a great setup! What are you running as far as chase light bar? Love the amber/white strobe
Jdatt13 it’s the Baja Designs RTL-S with flashing lights
Nice video, are any of those RZR getting any power upgrades would be nice to see a RZR 4seater out run a can am 4seater
Haha none at the moment, we are both looking for reliability and no drama...
I just purchased the RTL-S to get the blinkers (also here in AZ), did you need two harnesses to have the illuminated amber lights along with the turn signals?
The tail lights head into the rear stock taillight harness, which the Ambers (which flash) and the work light (white) all head to the front, wired into a SwitchPros. So I have 3 switches (left Amber/ Turn, Right Amber/ Turn, Work. I hope this answers your question.
Hell yea they are I'm running 5 sets (2 sets of s2 sports ditch and rears, squadron pro front, s2 pro front, squadron sport amber wide cornering fogs) I also have 2 RC 20 inch light bars (single row black series) for task lights for side light and they are nothing compared to the Baja designs. All this is running off a MLC-6
Bad ass!
Hello from Mich. I have a 2018 JL Jeep Wrangler. What Baja A Pillar light set up would You recommend for street driving and a little bit of trails driving? Thank You.
The Squadron Pro is 4,900 lumens each, small in size, and a driving combo would probably work great. You can change the lenses or add amber covers if you are in dust.
@@ChupacabraOffroad Awesome !!! I will get them lights then. Thanks for the help and the fast reply.
On the 40 inch did you go with the straight bar or the arced one?
sce22dg straight
nice info, hard to find any input on amber lights. can am only has 52 amps. I have xl 80 on pillar, and 2 sets of squad pro on upper cage, wide and combo. Should put those to amber. I lead mostly though.
I hear a lot of guys with X3's run a dual battery setup as a band aid, is what it is...
@@ChupacabraOffroad orig batt went bad, replaced w/ antigravity lithium more Ah.
The wildcat xx runs a 450 watt stator and a 65 amp alt. Fyi
What about vs KC and Rigid and such?
Where did you get the roof rack?
G’s Life madigan
How do you like running the windshield
Sr 5 really digging it so far, wish I wouldn’t have waited!
This video should say , includes a paid promotion hahahaha
Fair, we will update the description, but hopefully we added value showing the different types of lights and arrangements, and that you should seriously consider the Ambers.
@4:43 why did he do one LP9 spot and the other LP9 combo?
Full Throttle Off Road did a video comparing BD and Amazon light bar and they were pretty damn comparable. ua-cam.com/video/tIeTQ2rAuf8/v-deo.html
The Amazon one is obviously cheaper and less durable LEDs will break sooner, but I can buy about 10 Amazon light bars for the price of 1 BD light bar.
Shoot you could buy a new light bar every year!
True, I get the mindset, of comparing lumens to dollars ratio, but you should also consider resale value, reliability, customer service, and Baja Designs care rebuildable with different colored lenses, and made in the USA. I've ran a $70 Amazon light bar, Rigid lights, and Vision X. It all depends on what you see value in, or how you want to spend your money. Some guys wont upgrade their suspension, when I think it's the best money you can spend. Different strokes. In this video, I tried to inform viewers of where to mount lights, and how good Ambers are in the dust, just things to consider, as I know a huge part of the market will never spend top dollar for Baja D, but also, Rigid and Baja D are leaders, and their technology has all been knocked off, but there's a high end market that will spend on them.
What is sweep?
It means your the last in the train of vehicles riding together. Like a caboose for a train
Way of cleaning dirt off the floor.....
That’s an easy question to answer. Who is sponsoring the video and products on test.
It's really not. It's for people that don't know any better or ballers that wanna flex and heads that want everything name brand but really is it name brand ? Na.... Just another company that catered to a certain group of racers and rich heads and they passed it around as bad ass shit. And it went on from there. There are some amazing and eBay lights that kill these fuckin things off... And believe me I was given a light bar and tested it against my Amazon 10 watt cree bulbs and believe me these lights couldn't even compare output wise to the Chinese knocks. Once again or are they ? So that's my take. An I feel IAM correct.
I appreciate your opinion and this is a polarizing topic, I've run a $60 Amazon light bar, for the money, it cant be beat. But these lights are significantly better, as they should be for the price. "rich" and "flex" just sounds a little salty, there are high end prodcuts in every market, and if you look at the technology behind the brand, it's cutting edge. The Chinese have stole a lot of the technology from Baja D and Rigid, so if you love your Chinese light bars, you owe some of that to these companies. So many options these days, on how you spend money on your upgrades.
NO
Bajas are the most overpriced products on the market. The fact is, cheaper stuff is just as bright and who cares about copper etc? I just want to see where I’m going! Obviously, this entire video is a payed ad, so we can’t really expect an honest review from you but some balance is really required here.
You are entitled to your opinion but I disagree.
@@ChupacabraOffroad ok, my question is, what does the Baja light give you that a cheaper one doesn’t? Because they both create light!
