That one has been covered in another thread, and as far as I remember one of the companies making the mirrors threatened to sue the manufacturer of the 3D printed mount.. Since then I have made my own, but would love to have a finished product, preferably with a way to hide the cables. Will probably try to incorporate that in my version, but I'm pretty sure that Ben would make a very very nice version.What about a 3D printed rear view mirror conversion adapter?
I’d love to ditch my old OEM mirror for a digital rear view mirror with back up camera, but our 100 series mount doesn’t work with anything.

I am not sure what is most universal for these things, but the this is the one I’m troubleshooting:

Hmm - point taken.This part is under heat, stress, and vibration at the same time.
The cabin temperature under direct sunlight can be way higher than 95F. ABS or ASA might be OK. I would do Nylon.I installed my printed version this summer, I think I printed it with ASA but can have a look tomorrow.
So far it shows no signs of warping or cracking as the PLA prototype did after a few days in the sun.
We had about 95°F here, don't know what the temp in the car was but no problems as mentioned.
At the moment it runs in -30°C but I'm guessing that's not the same as a very hot American summer.
Yes of course, it's just that I have no idea how much warmer, ie if it's 190FThe cabin temperature under direct sunlight can be way higher than 95F. ABS or ASA might be OK. I would do Nylon.
Make 63: LX470 Foglight Mount

Video (with Baja Designs Squadron Pro):
63.2 Description
The mount is designed to accommodate two Baja Designs Squadron LED pods (Pro, Sport, or SAE variants) on each side. It is suggested to use the Squadron SAE model, as it is specifically engineered to function as a fog light.
63.3 Design and Fabrication
The toughest task is fitting two pods into each side. Attempts to do this in the LC100 fog light pocket were unsuccessful. The LX470 fog light pocket, on the other hand, is broader but not as tall. The initial design positions the two pods horizontally, as illustrated below:

(The pods depicted in the figure are Baja Designs XL80, not Squadron models. They are utilized solely for illustrative purposes. CAD credits for the XL80 go to Peter Scolaro on GRABCAD)
This approach works for the Squadron Pro and Sport models because their lenses can be rotated 90 degrees. However, it is not suitable for the Squadron SAE model:

(https://www.bajadesigns.com/wp-content/uploads/Installation Instructions/FGXX_257811_REVA-INS_001.pdf)
This issue arises because the Squadron SAE was designed using entirely new aspheric projector optics. Thankfully, I managed to redesign the mount to install the pods in the correct orientation:

In the figure referenced above, the mount is designed for the passenger side. The pod that is closer to the center of the vehicle should be installed first, followed by the pod on the outer side.
63.4 Purchase List to Complete the Installation
You will need to acquire two sets of Baja Designs Squadron pods, selecting from the Pro, Sport, or SAE models.
To secure the pods to the mount, utilize the bolts that are included with the pods.
I will supply 6 stainless steel fasteners for attaching the mounts to the bumper.
Note: Blinkers can be wired to side markers.
63.5 Purchase
$150/pair + USPS Priority.
(Note: Design files are not for sale.)
I'd be interested in one if you are able to get it to fit them. Thanks!That would be M63V2 if you request the new design.
