Then there is a couple ways to go about doing it. Nothing wrong with Baja Designs, ive just used others.

Way I see it, you could do your BD set up as described, and then just do squadron floods around the sides with amber and youd be all set.

Personally, I really like Clear Water lights. They are PHENOMINAL lights. Easily best quality I've ever personally used. I'd leave your factory fogs alone for legal road use. On the bumper mount 2 Dixi's or Super Sevina's and 2 Sevina Floods in yellow. That gives you independent control over your long spot and flood lights, and sets you up with dimmer control so you dont have a choice of 0 or full power...you can adjust as needed to cut splash back.....and at full power, you wont need anything else. From there, Id just do Heretic Studio amber quad lights around the sides and rear.

I ran the Dixi's on my R1200GSA traveling bike. They are bright as F. Mixing Dixi's with Sevina Flood pattern would be a killer total beam pattern, and I like having dimmer control.

I currently run Heretic Studio amber quad pods and a 6" light bar on my KTM Super Adventure and I am really happy with the quality and pattern.

When AEV releases their bumper and I do my lighting, I'm going to run dual Dixi's on the bumper and a Heretic amber bar in Flood down low on the bumper. Might do a set of Heretic pods for ditch lights off the apillar. Both ClearWater and Heretic Studio are made in the USA if that matters to you. I actively try to avoid lights made in china. Simply seen too many fail in bad weather. (looking at you, Rigid....)

Shit! Rigid was my back up. Being Canadian, i still see buying USA products as buying Local. I will have a peek at the lights you mentioned and youtube the crap out of them and go from there. Thank you so much for your help.

yeah man. Check em out. Its all in the family. Haha

you cant go wrong with either of your routes it doesnt seem.
clearwater is huge in the ADV world, and rightfully so. Their construction quality and light pattern is extremely good. sure the BD stuff is probably really good too, ive just never used them.

Question for you, Kurt... I will be getting the Fab Four Overland bed rack. 2 Lights for the left, 2 lights for the right and 2 lights for the rear. What lights would you recommend? I prefer Baja Designs, but it's not a must. I want try to light up a 200ft swath around the back of the truck...
I went with the rigid scene lights on both sides with red rigid d2 in the back cutouts. Works great.

That’s Australian $ - they’re coming to the US and their prices will be competitive based on performance

With those lights you will be able to find your way to the jeep dealer at night for repairs due to lack of airflow.

Bonus.
