You will need their relay wiring harness if you want to use your factory fog switch.
Why do they not mention that in there add. They show an adapter for each light to plug in factory harness then into BD light. I’m not a great wiring person, makes me nervous. Why is the relay needed ? Thanks for you help

I have Baja Designs squadron SAEs wired to my OEM fog light harness and they work fine. I don’t have the LED package and I bet the OEMs drew more power than the BDs.

if I remember right, the stock bulbs are 24W and the BDs are 22W. Squadron Pros are 40W and might need better wiring. I have Pros on my A pillars and they are bright. Definitely not “fog” lights, and definitely not for use anytime there is oncoming traffic.

Thanks , I have s set of BD squadron r pros driving combo on my cowl , wired to my aux switch . They are extremely bright, i love them . No way you can run them on the hwy, you could cause a bad wreck.

The SAE lights are compatible with the canbus. Some people are able to run Squadron Sports ok, while others report the canbus shuts the circuit off. The Pros require the relay kit to use the factory fog switch/wiring.

I think ill just use the Squadron SAE's so i dont have to use any relays. The sae are brighter than the oem led's. Thanks for all the help in making my decision.
