Maybe they can set up with a group buy discounts for us

I would be interested if you were able to coordinate one.

Looks real nice but the price seems a little high ?

yea, they’re probably not the most budget friendly option out there. But personally I’m disgusted with the hack job antenna mount I constructed for my gmrs, so the brake light’s main purpose for me is that it centers my antenna up high, converts to nmo so I can throw on the midland ghost antenna and the Baja lights are my first non auxbeams so I’ll get to see what all the fuss is about there. I’m quite proud of my diy “sleeper” chase lights I threw together for about $120, which was my budget 5 months ago.

Hey @Goldylox22 my brake light finally arrived! Did you drop the headliner or just pry it open enough to hook up everything like a lot of others have successfully done? If you did drop it, what if any, video or instruction did you use? I haven’t pulled up the QR code yet but I know the YouTube guy flaberdoobin made a video where he dropped his. I’m just trying to get my ducks in a row before I start on the install.

this thing is heavy duty, and solid!

So I had it installed, didn’t do it myself cause I also had radio mounted in the center console and they had to run the antenna cable through to it. I do know they did have to drop the headliner for that specifically. Wish I could be more help

No worries! My CB and GMRS are sandwiched in my glovebox and I’ve already ran coax to the back passenger bulkhead grommet. So I‘ll make it work, I appreciate you clueing me into this brand… stout construction and methodical wiring from what I can see.

Of course! I’d been aware of swarfworks for some time and when I went to get a third brake light these were brought to my attention by my Raptor run group. High praise from them and the fact the two bed lights point down into the bed instead of needing a third Baja designs s2 sold me. Spent 4 days out in Utah running it and it worked great!

Install wasn’t that bad… ok maybe it was, but the improvement is 100 fold.
