I installed a pair of flush mounts S1's in the work/scene configuration. Installation was really easy. Took a lot of time positioning them.

One thing that is weird is BD's website says you can install these with a 1" hole saw. However in the directions, it reads 2.5" (accurate).

I decided to wire them to an AUX switch and not tap in to the reverse lights. There are some instances when I don't want them to come on (late night departures in residential neighborhoods, draws attention, etc.).

I'm really happy with how they turned out. The work/scene lens is REALLY bright (I can only imagine the Wide/Corner or Spot). Enough to help with backing up, hooking my trailer up, or running in the desert.

That’s awesome!! I was planning this out for the spring. I’m totally with you in wiring to the up fitter switches. Thanks for posting this.

I’ve got older model squadron sports out back, and initially I had up fitter only, but I found I kept leaving them on when I’d back into a parking spot, then take off again later.

Nice clean install.

this looks really nice, I've been wanting to do some reverse lights, but I don't really want them hanging below the bumper. I like this option.

On my old truck i had a 3 position switch so i could have them on with reverse lights, off, or on independent from reverse lights. That set up was ideal. I wonder if that could be done using two upfitter switches?

If you want to do the flush mount S1s there are only 3 parts you need
