[QUOTE="BroncoAZ, post: 1519025, member: 36963"] I’m having some analysis paralysis choosing lighting for my 2020 Scab. My main focus is a good SAE fog light and a good pair of spots that I would connect to the high beams for dark highways. I also want to run the Baja Designs S1 flush mount in the rear bumper or S2 under the rear bumper. For the mount I like the Offroad Alliance three light bezel kit (makes it look finished to me) or their in house bracket to fit three full size cubes. The Rigid bracket also looks like it fits three without hiding any behind the bumper. I have the following lights in my garage. The 20” bar won’t fit anywhere that I can think of. I could use these, sell these, or save them for my 87 Bronco. Everything but the 20” bar are new in boxes, the 20” bar was on my diesel truck for a couple years but is still in great condition. Rigid SAE fog cubes 50481, the previous generation, same brightness as the new ones. Rigid D2 Driving 50231, the previous generation that were only 3300 lumens, the new version are 4700 lumens. Rigid 20” SR combo bar 92031, 6400 lumens Rigid 21211 flush mount Dually flood, two pairs I like the Baja Designs lights, I think they are better than Rigid, but their SAE fog seems like a poor choice compared to the competition. Both the Rigid and Diode Dynamics SAE fogs literally blow it away on the comparison video I was watching which seemed like it was made without bias. Are the BD SAE fog really as weak as they look in this video? Fast forward to 4:44. They are measuring 1/3 of the candela of the Rigid or DD. [MEDIA=youtube]d5QAUkDtZEo[/MEDIA] Before that video I was looking at the Baja Designs with SAE fog, Pro combo for offroad, and S1 spots for the highway in the bezel or with Squadron Spots or Pro spots on the 3 cube bracket. I could go with more Rigid lights. I could run the cubes I have but it just seems wrong to install the lower powered 50231 driving cubes on my new Raptor when there is something better available. So if I went with the bezel kit I would need to buy the newer 502313 and pick a Baja Designs S1 for the kit.
