INSTALLING SIX BAJA DESIGNS LP6 PODS TO LIGHT UP THE NIGHT! 61,000 LUMENS! 🤯🤯
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 лип 2024
- In this video, I will show you how I install SIX Baja Designs LP6 pods on my Tacoma. These pods are incredibly bright, with over 61,000 lumens of light. They are perfect for off-road driving, as they will help you see what's ahead of you even in the darkest conditions.
The installation process would normally be relatively simple, but you know I like to complicate things. Not only will I be making my OWN wiring harness to power these six LP6 pods, but I'll also be modifying the mounting brackets so they can mount to my Prinsu rack at an angle.
Here is where you can buy the LP6s if you're interested in doing the same install!

I think with all that light you ended up ripening all them citrus fruits on those trees! Jeepers! Who needs to worry about frost bite damage when they got you around! ✌🏽
lol!!😂😂😂🙌🙌🙌
@@HorizonBound ✌🏽
Are you afraid of the dark bro?
Hahahaha not anymore!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Never wear gloves around and rotating tool except a dremel. It can grab the glove and pull you into the machine. I have a 1 handed uncle who did it on a drill press. Ended up pulling his hand into the bit and it drilled a 1/2" hole through his wrist, they had to amputate because the shavings and fluid were drawn into his wound and it became gangrenous. They cut about 10in from his elbow.
Great DIY video!
Thanks! I appreciate the comment!
I wouldn't put the two dispersed lenses above on the roof because of light splash onto the hood. They are better suited for the front corners of the bumpers to cover zone 2. If you have the SwitchPros RCR12, you can connect the lights to 2 different circuits and control with a single switch if you wish. It's all configurable in the app.
I was a little hesitant about that happening but thankfully, it's not bad at all. I've done a lot of night driving over the past 9 months and I haven't had any issues. I'm sure it might be different if the pods were clear light instead of the amber.
@@HorizonBound thanks, that's good to know.
I’m thinking of using the evil industries to mount 7 LP6 lights like this. Do you still love it? How loud is the wind noise at highway speeds?
good video dude
Much appreciated! Glad you enjoyed it!
Really, really helpful video. Would you mind posting a list or links to the wiring supplies and tools you used? Thanks!
Sorry for the delay! I updated the description to include links of everything! Hope that helps!
how wud be a lp9 pro light bar illuminate tho?
By chance, is this the road leading to Nate Harrison Grade? It looks oddly familiar.
Awesome video, I would like to add that you need specific type of crimpers for these deutsch connectors. They are fairly cheap on amazon and range from 15 dollars and up. How did the dimming function work out for you on the switchpros? I have the upfitter harness right now waiting to be installed so that I can run all the functions, but still debating if I want to lose a spot on the switch pros for a low beam.
Dude doesn't care about anybodies questions. He's obviously a loser.
Dang those do look good tho. Nice!
Thank you sir! Much appreciated!
Would be 7 Baja Desings LP6 or LP9 on your roofrack?
Good job but to let you know you need an inline fuse for the 14 wire spliced to the #10 it will go between the 2 sizes to protect the 14 wire so they do not melt and catch on fire have fun and enjoy
Yes. This is true.
Did you end up removing the fairing to get the lights to come lower? Kind of want to do this same exact thing but I also want them to be as low profile as possible just like you were mentioning.
I didn't end up removing the windscreen. I had played around with it but IMO it didnt really look that great and on top of that, there was still a decent gap under that I'm sure would have made a lot of wind noise.
Hey man, I purchased 7x knockoff lp9s to mount. I have everything ready but I'm questioning whether the stock Prinsu crossmember would support the weight with the four quarter inch bolts. Have you noticed anything sketchy with your crossmember since you've mounted these? Or has it been pretty solid?
Hey man! So sorry I'm just now seeing this! For some reason youtube stopped notifying me of new comments! Good thing you reached out on Instagram! Your lightbar is looking sick!
If only I had 2900 dollars for lights lmao
is it possible to do the backlit mode on any led lights? if so how? it looks dope, i want to put on my truck
I don't believe so unfortunately. Not on any LED light at least since the lights need to have an additional light inside the housing to create the backlit "look". Baja Designs has backlit functions in there LP series and S8 series lights and I know other companies also have offroad lights with back lights built in.
It has to be a light that has backlight. It’s built into specific lights.
Are the side ones special lp6s? The 2 side lights offer great light.
FYI shouldn’t amber lights be mounted low?
Hey Robert! Thanks for the comment! The difference between the two outside LP6s vs the four in the middle is that the four in the middle are spot and the two outside pods are the driving combo. I wanted to have a nice even spread on the sides so used the driving combo lenses for that while the four spots in the middle really throw the light out into the distance.
As for the ambers being mounted low vs high. I've seen a few different opinions on that and even though I know Baja says they put amber low and clear high, I actually like the opposite. Since my headlights are clear, it made sense to make the bumper lightbar (not currently installed for this video) clear and keep the ambers on the roof. There is little to no spill on the hood where I have heard that clear does reflect a lot more off hoods. Obviously, a hood wrap or vinyl wrap will help deflect the reflection but for my liking, Ive enjoyed having the amber up high. I may make a video where I swap amber for clear and clear for amber just for experiment purposes but for now, I'll be keeping it as it is.
Thanks for the comment! Have a great day!
Are the outside ones different beam pattern then the middle ones?
They are. The outside ones are a driving combo light so it spills off to the sides a little more. The four in the center are a spot beam so it throws the light further. Definitely a nice combo to have!
You crazy bro, you should also put them on left right and back
Hahahaha don't tempt me! lol!
Um hate to tell you this but BD engineers are smart so the they designed the brackets to work out at all angeles you just needed to reverse the bracket to achieve that angle you where looking for.
Lol believe me, I did. It didn't work. The lights were pointed upwards that way
A die grinder would have been the tool to use for the brackets fyi. Much simpler. Great job though
Appreciate it! I'll definitely have to use that next time I do something like this again.
Did you give up on the channel? I saw on Instagram that you have had this on the trail but no new videos or posts. I hope all is well.
Thanks for the comment! No, I haven't given up although I have been away from the channel way too long! Unfortunately work has been pretty hectic lately and I haven't had much time to edit more UA-cam videos. I have a bunch of content shot and I'm hoping I'll be finding some time soon to start posting again! The truck has seen some pretty big changes lately!
the wifey making a cameo at 11:14 was a good laugh 😂
Hahahaha you saw here 2 seconds of fame 😂
America FK YA!!! best response ever.
That is an extremely expensive light bar.
Yeah, it was pretty pricey but still worth it in my opinion. I actually changed my ditch lights to be chase lights because the spread pattern on the two outside LP6's were so bright that they overpowered the ditch lights.
Shit!! My eyes broooo!!
you cold soldered those joints which is not the best for conductivity.
Was he just dripping solder on the joint?
