Dissent OffRoad Low Pro Front Bumper issues.

[mcd_ovrlnd]

Don't really know, it's the amber sidelights mounted in the bumper I was talking about, I got the large RIGID in the center of the grille.

Same. I’d love some additional lights though. and the covert bumper. If I get this I plan on putting in the grille lights on either side of my light bar. Let us know how you end up. Pics please.

I'm about to buy this bumper too. So if I am understanding this post correctly, they're sending you different mounts for your Baja Designs S2s so that they fit flush with the front of the bumper? And what's the second issue? Fairlead bolts won't go through the holes provided?

If I'm supplying my own Baja Designs S2s, do I need to buy a different bracket from Dissent to make them work?

The only thing I can say is the BD supplied mount for the BD lights were too high so their sending me theirs which are suppose to be a bit shorter and able to fit the opening. I'll know more later today when I receive them.

Their (Dissent) fairlead holes are 3/8" for a regular fairlead but since I'm using synthetic winch line to help reduce weight you need a Hawse Fairlead which uses 7/16" bolts. I'm going to use 3/8" bolts and take up the slack in the fairlead by using a larger washer to fill up the space in the fairlead and hold it centered.

BTW, awesome company, once they found out I had an issue they contacted me several times on a Sunday and had the parts in the mail by Monday morning and will have them at my door by today.

This is great feedback, thank you. Please keep us posted on those BD brackets and I'll call Dissent today before I place my order. My entire purchase hinges on the BD lights working!

What type and color is your rig? Would love to see pics when you're finished.

I talked to Dissent and they told me to put in the notes that I had my own set of Baja design S2's and they would include the proper brackets that will allow those lights to work the bumper.

I can't wait to see this bumper on your rig!!

Here's the new light brackets, Dissent brackets on the left. Baja Design brackets on the right. Also glad the Dissent 's are black instead of chrome.

Nice, and heavy duty as well. Can you find a black nut to put on there as well? One that won't rust?

Hey, new to lighting here and interested in running the dissent bumper. How are you guys planning on wiring up the s2? I've got the aux switches and wondering if I could link them with squadron ditch lights to come on together using AUX3? Not sure if that's possible, but I figured adding up the power draw of all 4 lights around put it around 11A, and AUX3 supports 15A. Having 1 button for night driving would be a nice to have.

That won't be a problem. You're doing the correct math for the wire and you have plenty of headroom to combine those.

BUT: I have the DOT approved S2s, so I will run mine 24/7 as DRL's. I am using a SwitchPros system (which I have not wired yet - I need to figure out how I'm powering the hub of that thing under the hood, from the rear battery. Suggestions are welcome). I'll have them on their own switch that will come on any time I turn the ignition on. I'm upgrading my light bar to a Diode Dynamics and plan to leave the OEM Rigid fogs in place, which I will run in white for everyday use, and switch them to amber for inclement weather. I will rewire the light bar to the SwitchPros as well, and have it triggered by the high beams (with the ability to turn it on manually when I want to)

Why not wire them each on their own switch, just in case? I'm guessing easier to turn on all 4 at once, and maybe you're out of switches.

I had a shop run wiring up to engine bay from the rear battery to a KC power plate. That’s how I power my switch. Similar home designed setups on YouTube.
