CyberTruck Co Fog Lights installed

[SentinelOne]

Finally warm enough to spend 2 hours outside doing the install. Kit's solid, wires a bit longer than I would have liked them but no big deal! One side of the Tesla was different alignment than the other around tow hook area so pain in ass to get the bracket installed (it's always something).

I think they look good, also come with yellow covers (why I bought them, snow visibility), and black rock covers, work with Frunk Power Feed Switch, wont hurt offroad visibility, makes the truck look diff than all the others,, etc....

Awesome! I also used their system, but used some custom brackets to mount my fog lights horizontally since the beam pattern only works at that position.
And yes, getting the drivers side bracket installed was a massive pain due to alignment issues! Nice kit though and good customer service.

"mount my fog lights horizontally since the beam pattern only works at that position." ?? I have the XL Sports, 2 Spot's on top and 2 Wides on bottom - that's the way it's supposed to be isnt it? Beam pattern on Garage Door at close range was center (spot) and to each side (Wide)...so think it's right. Will test tonight when it gets dark. Also bough the "wide" lenses direct from BD - eg all 4 are wide, will see what works best.

I may have to pull in summer and paint the brackets black, we'll see!

was it difficult to wire?

Pretty Straight Forward, 2 butt connectors for wires from truck to step down converter, the rest is plug and play.

This thread brings back a happy memory for me. I'd been driving my wife's MY recently. And I'd gotten used to turning her fog lights on/off by voice. Then I was driving my CT. Without thinking, I used voice to try to turn on the fog lights (I actually didn't know CT didn't have them standard). After trying twice, the car's response was "unable to turn on because Fog lights not installed". The truck is smarter than me!

Thanks for sharing!

Sweet! They teamed up with Baja. I’m going to order a set as well. Which size did you go with?


Hopefully they come out with some rear pointing lights as well!

I did the Sport XL's eg 4"....looks like MRMeta (2nd Post) has the 3" ones....I went back and forth on which ones to get (think I drove CyberTruckCo a bit nuts with emails, lol)....the XL's are a bit tight to rotate up/down space wise and more $'s but bigger lights put out overall more light - so depends on what you want. I think either is a good add and can add safety in winter / dust / fog and bit more light for offroad, etc

Re Rear pointing lights - agree. I was looking at the Baja Designs S1 Reverse Light - fits in hitch receiver and powers off the 7pin trailer connector and triggers on reverse- not sure if this will work with Cybertruck or not? Emailed BD to see if they have an opinion - including pic of rear of Trailer Connector to see if they thought that's a standard connector or something Tesla specific. @CYBERTRUCKco any idea?

I will say Baja Designs are good people and make good product and stand behind it. Long ago (early 2000's) I lived in San Diego and bought a 2003 CRF450 from Tex (#2 at the time) and some of their services and parts - was a good experience, spent some time at the shop and always felt like they were a vendor I wanted to work with / trusted, etc.

Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for making this happen vs. leaving us to our own devices! You put together a good kit that works well and much appreciated! Also you put up with my OCD via email so props for customer service!

Few more pics bit closer, with yellow lens covers...

Looks like you went with the XL Sport Fog / Ditch version? Are they too bright to use them on-road, and/or do you have the Baja Designs High/Low switch wiring? I’m considering the Squadron Pro so it’s not too blinding for other drivers, don’t need these for off-road, really want them more as fog/driving lights for big snow storm driving. But I don’t think the Squadrons are can be used with the OnX controls.

@CYBERTRUCKco would you know which setup is better as a driving/fog light application, particularly to overcome the snow/slush blocking my factory headlights issue?

Yes XL Sport with Combo Driving Lense (white) - so 2 wide and 2 spot. My thinking, and havent fully tested to confirm. No High/Low switch installed.

1) For Snowstorms / Fog: Yellow Lense Cover, point downward vs. distance, maybe pitch a bit toward the sides...from playing around last night (no actual snow experience as of yet), pattern seemed very good (see pic with yellow lenses and look at pattern on ground), angled down I think they'll be ok for other drivers...standing at a distance they seemed reasonable...going to have wife drive opposite direction in her car to confirm.
2) For summer: remove yellow lense covers, angle a bit higher but still below headlights, only use for offroad or middle of BFE (Wyoming, Co Mountains)...

Wild Card: Bought Wide Angle Lenses (all 4 are wide angle vs. 2 and 2 spots) - and will use these if needed to protect against pissing off other drivers. Preference is driving combo as if I can get that to work, offers the most flexibility with just changing covers and or position of lights.

FYI - Baja Has Fog Lights specifically for just Inclement weather, these plus CyberTruckCo brackets could be what you are looking for (or could ask if they'd do a setup for you) - not as flexible but SAE Rated so no concern with legalities. If I didnt spend so much time in mountains / low volume of other cars I'd consider these....and may still do so depending upon how the Tesla Light Bar performs.

I did the very same thing, after CT said there wasn’t any installed fog lights, I stopped to get out and check for mysef. I too was surprised no fog lights in design for an off road vehicle.
