Looks like they may have taken the product down. You may want to email them to see.

Just spoke to Overland Defense, and production will be started back up after Oct. So on Oct or after, keep your eyes out for them to come back up on their website.

New product from Overland Defense. Their Fog light mounts for the GMC Sierra 1500 AT4x AEV front bumper. First impressions are good. Mounts are well made, and appear very durable considering they are 3D printed. These mounts fit up nicely in the bumper and are very secure. The Baja Design lights fit flush and securely in the mounts with no play. So far I am very impressed as there are not much after marked lighting options for the AEV bumper yet, but loads of products for Ford, RAM, Toyota, etc. Once i have more time with the product I will report back on durability and fitment.

From the lights, through the front bumper and up behind the passanger headlight. Then to my AuxBeam switch panel.

Did you snake it thru the bumper.

I did yes. I wrapped the wires in wire loom for extra protection, then used plenty of zip ties to secure everything in place.

Cool. I’ll dig into that in the am. I had a harness made like the one for the AEV Baja quads in the rear bumper. Had Gen5DIY make one for me that turned those on as extra backup lights.

Had them make one for these new fronts to work as extra fog lights and work just like the OE fog lights.

Very cool. Yeah I just have them wired up on my switch panel. I only use them for off roading, or bad weather " heavy rain storms, heavy snow storms". My factory fog lights have been upgraded to Diode Dynamics lights that I use at night. They throw far more light then the factory OEM fogs.

I put these on, along with 30 inch Black Oak Light bar (bolts right in to the Factory OEM bolts on the bumper with a little drill and dremel mod) and then moved OEM Fog lights over to the sPOD touch screen controller. Really happy with the results. 30 in bar fills in the center of driving, Overland defense and driving lights fill in off center to sides (Had to insert some washers on driver side to adjust beam direction) and then Fog lights give wide left to right beam. All make the headlights and high beams look like candles for beam brightness. lol.

Also installed Stillen ram air intake over factory and put in Airraid throttle body tube as the K and N cold air was ridiculous noisy.

White LED light bar is Sick Diesel and then the bug shield and LED running light Amber lights is from Real Truck.

Didn't get the mounts and lights installed in the time I set aside today. I tried installing with the cooling fins on top. The fins interfered with the bracket behind. Flipped the lights in the mount so the fins are the bottom, That seemed to work, Now I have to flip the lens and face so the Baja Designs text is not upside down and spread beam part of the lens is on the bottom. I did not see anything about this on the vendor site or previously mentioned. Makes a difference if you have a combo fog/driving light.

I did notice the AEV Textured black is not an exact match to the bumper.

EDIT OF ENTIRE POST:
I am adding the Baja Designs XL Linkable 5 light kit that others have done, using SPhelps23 mounts. This light kit will be wired to the high beam trigger of my SwitchPros system; this will more than take care of my high beam lighting needs.

So, I need better/additional low beam lighting that is SAE/DOT approved. I am upgrading the oem foglights to the Diode Dynamics. I just got off the phone with Baja Designs and they can make me a pair of flush mounted, DOT Approved Amber Squadrons, with the fins flipped upside down, so those should bolt right into the mounts in this thread. I will have these wired to the Switchpros Systems as daytime running lights (I have a pair of S2 SAEs that I custom mounted last year; these are going to the Yukon as DRLs).

So with the Diode foglights, and the full set of these Squadrons, and my low beams, I should have drastically improved low beam lighting.

Also, do you think painting them is worth it, or does that become a future maintenance item? I guess I’ll decide when I get them. I have the paint already.

My SAE/DOT approved flush mount yellow fogs showed up from Baja Designs today. They even flipped the fins for me. I’ll get these in and posted ASAP. I am wondering how many spacers I’ll need to get these things leveled correctly, just below my OEM low beams.

 

[bobholthaus]

These couldn’t have been easier to put on. Based on the light pattern on my garage wall, I’m probably going to have to use some spacers to aim them up a little bit. Looks like they’re shining just below the OEM fog lights. I think these are gonna be fantastic for additional low beam light and fog light.

And it is my opinion that the color is so close to the OEM bumper that I’m not gonna bother painting them. That to me just seems like it’s gonna turn into a maintenance headache.

They are a really nice addition. This is exactly what I know a lot of us were looking for especially when we can all see the after market support for the Fords, Toyota's, Ram's, etc. Mine have been awesome since installing them last Feb.
