I'm looking at the Baja S2 with a yellow lens as a rear racing bed light. Anyone have any thoughts?

The S2 makes for a great dust light. We use them in our third brake housings and they are bright as hell.
Can you get more shots of your setup here? Is the GPS puck mounted on the light? Very clean set up. More details please...
Here is a good night-time comparison shot. The decision is ultimately yours.
The lights from top to bottom:
2 S2 Sports, work/scene lens in GJ motorsports 3rd brake light housing. (yellow)
2 Squadron Sports, wide/cornering lenses (yellow)
2 S2 Pros, Wide/cornering lenses (White)
you can see that while S2 Pros are brighter than S2 Sports, Squadron Sports are much , much brighter by comparison. I have been in heavy dust on runs where it is sand 2 track with trees on both sides ( during the day in bright sunlight), none of the 2 light combos are blinding to the follow truck. The Squadrons are much easier to see when the trucks are spaced 30-50 yards apart.
I have the s2 sports and squadron sports wired to a flasher as well, for emergency/caution scenarios.
I have not had them lit up on a night run yet.

You want your chase lights to be at the same height and as high as possible. If you run lights at different heights, you could look like two different trucks from the rear. People who race will ding you for multi-level chase lights.
Nice !!
Any day photos that show how the lights are mounted to the rear bed rail?
Does the bed rail light work well for reverse lights or does the tail gate get in the way / block the light pattern?
