walmart baja rectangle lights
#31
Baja lights are he greatest lights ever. I have 4 on a 30 amp circuit. granted the only thing stock on them is the glass cover and plastic housing. they are brighter that my 4 overhad lights. I agree that I like my over head lights too more than the bajas, but I get to run the bajas 50X more and they are great for lighting within 50 yards and my overhead are for 50+ yards, its teamwork. yes... I have a 170 amp alternator. but seriously bajas are the most reliable lights ever. I have 6 (2 back up too)and not a single complaint. if you can wire them up properly that is

ive got the rugged ridge 3 inch tube bumper on the front and I was wondering how I should go about mounting the bajas to them??? I know rugged ridge makes light mounts for there bumpers but $15 a piece is kinda steep when you could probally make some...any ideas?

wally world offcourse means walmart lol... but wow $150... thats outrageous just for 2 lights... thats seems a little ridiculous are you sure thats not for a set of 4 cuz that sounds more like it.... on ebay (hella 550's) are $25-ish a light (replacement) pair of 2 roughly $70
and yes i would care if i did break one of mine off lol.... i'm still in process of figuring a cage design just for the light bar.....

Not talking about mant on the lights or anything. Since I got my jeep the only thing I have really gotten to do is maint type stuff aside from taking off my fender flares.
I was just saying the lights are an inexpensive excuse to do something different for a change. lol

could mount upside down on your upper tube. drill a hole all the way through and replace stock bold with a 3 1/4" bolt and match up the size of bolt head so it locks in on the mount so it wont spin. you shoul seal the holes so no water gets inside and rusts it.if you mount like that there will be a nut on top of te tube. or you could mount rite side up on lower tube the same way

Do Not use the fuse holder that comes with it. I got done wiring mine up today and turned them on, about 3 minutes later I looked in my jeep and it was full of smoke. The Fuse holder had melted. I went down to the hardware store and got "Bussman ATC Blade Fuse Holder 30a #12 Leads Reorder # BP/HHD" Everything seems to be fine now..
Here is what I got:

Im running 30 amp but with 10 gauge wire. thats way too much juice for the stock wire. its tiny wiring. Bajas do have a pattern especially if you increase the wiring and amperage potential. the 4 on my bumperlight up everything within 50 yards. atleast 5 times brighter than my brights
