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:

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.
