S2 Pros in Wide Cornering could be used as well as Squadron SAE... they put out the same amount of lumen.

I just ordered a kit from you folks. 4 SAE fogs and 2 S2sport spots all in amber.
I did the amber in all since the white LEDs of the headlights seem terrible in any kind of precip, even on bright.
I don’t off-road too much but I figured the spots could come in handy when I find myself in the middle of nowhere ND.
Is all amber overkill? Should I change out one set of SAEs for something else?

Thanks for the biz MnFlyer, it's shipping today.
Honestly I think it's a bit overkill. You did 2 pairs of SAE Ambers... you'd be better off with 1 pair SAE white, the other SAE in amber.
This way you can choose which lights you put on.
Want me to swap out that 2nd set of SAE Ambers to SAE Whites?

Yes please. Swap out one set of SAEs for white.
Appreciate that.

Holy hell!
My kit arrived today.
Brackets went on ok...ish. If you’ve got bigger hands, it ain’t fun.
Flipping the light bezels around was tedious but I get that is my OCD and not necessary.
Mounting the lights is much harder than it needs to be. The smaller supplied bolts are too long as those nuts do not tighten on very easy. It takes two people to get those tightened up and there isn’t a whole lot of room in that area for two people.
I’m not entirely confident the lights aren’t going to vibrate out of alignment real quick, especially in tilt. I’ve got everything cranked down (and I’m not a vegetarian) and they just seem loose in tilt.
Overall I’m pleased with the product the lights are plenty bright for what I need and use them for. I’ll get some pictures up tomorrow after I get them all lined up properly.

Did you put washers on? It doesn't take 2 people. Just 2 wrenches. You hold the bolt with 1 wrench so it does not move as you tighten down the lock nut. When tightened down properly they don't move around... im thinking if you are experiencing something that might be lose, something might not be on properly is all. If you are able to move the lights still, then they are most certainly not tightened down properly. Take some photos of how you have the brackets mounted (the light brackets I mean) im sure it's something easy that was overlooked.
Basically you should have been able to sit in front of the bumper with 1 hand wrenching down on the lock nut with the other hand just holding the bolt from spinning. I've had a bunch of people stop by our shop who installed their lights and asked us to align the beams (we have markings on our wall that helps us) and we're able to do it in a matter of minutes with 1 person.
