Wow, Baja Design's customer service is incredible.They had a very thorough response back within an hour or two:
Thank you for your inquiry.
The light pod appears crooked because the mounting bracket around the bezel is intentionally positioned closer to the inside of that pocket.
This kit mounting spec is compliant with the 2024+ Ford Ranger Raptor OEM fog light mounting spec. When fog light pods are mounted flush or deeply recessed in certain bumper kits, pointing them straight ahead can cast shadows or leave a blind spot in the immediate center. Angling them inward ensures the beams intersect, providing a solid wall of light right where you need it for low-speed off-roading or dense fog.

For additional reference, here is a GMC S1 fog light application, mounted in spec with the stock fog light distribution spec. This one appears to be positioned lower, as the deep pocket would not cast a shadow at this angle and interfere with light distribution.

- Wide Cornering Lens Pattern: The S1 ships exclusively with a Wide Cornering lens. This lens flattens and stretches the output horizontally, with a 42-degree spread, to cover the immediate foreground and cornering ditch areas.
- Overlapping Core: Because the light spreads so wide, angling the pods slightly inward actually optimizes the pattern. It ensures the brightest hot spots blend right in front of your truck hood, preventing a dark center gap without sacrificing the 42-degree peripheral blanket.
