Has anyone mounted the new Baja Design S1 amber on the bed in the rear as a dust chase light? If so how does it work, and how did you wire it.

Well our harness was designed for the reverse kits. We wanted a more stream-lined solution then attaching splitters upon splitters and extensions so we made a single cable that combined your upfitter connections and a splitter harness into 1 nice cable.
So the cable will have a ground point and upfitter connection that goes up by the engine. Then enough length of cable to run it along the frame all the way to the back of your truck (to both the passenger and driver side). There is a final connection on the harness, as you can see in the picture, which is designed to plug the Baja Designs rear upfitter into (for folks who want the lighst to come on when they go into reverse).
Since you are using this for chase lights, mounted to your bed itself, you're just going to tape over this last connection (you don't have to, but you'll get water in here and it'll corrode, so you may as well tape it up or seal it with silicone, or cut if off and put some weatherproof connectors on the end).
You'll have enough slack to get to one of the chase lights since you'll run it along the frame rail and then up near the rear window. You should also have enough slack for a 2nd light on the other side as well (we left slack for the rear for good measure).
So it should work great for your applications.
Did you ever get this mounted? I am thinking about doing the same install. Not sure about S1 or S2 though.Bad ass, thanks. Maybe since its long enough I might as well do 2 lights then.
