Baja Designs S2 SAE Sportsmen Fog Pocket Kit | 2021–2026 Ford Bronco | Steel Bumper | Upfitter | SKU: 448178UP

The Baja Designs S2 SAE Sportsmen Fog Pocket Kit (448178UP) is a complete, direct-fit SAE-compliant LED fog light kit for 2021–2026 Ford Bronco equipped with a steel front bumper and the factory Upfitter switch bank. The S2 SAE Sportsmen uses SAE-regulated optics for street-legal auxiliary fog light use — this is not a universal auxiliary pod, it is a vehicle-specific fog light replacement built for the steel bumper fog light pockets. Steel bumper-specific mounting brackets and a plug-and-play Upfitter switch harness are included.

Two confirmations required before ordering. This kit will not fit without both: a steel front bumper with integrated fog light pockets compatible with S2 SAE Sportsmen mount dimensions, and the factory Ford Bronco Upfitter switch bank. If your Bronco has the standard plastic bumper, see 447762UP. If your Bronco does not have the Upfitter switch bank, text (469) 407-7538 to confirm the correct variant.

This kit does not fit the Ford Bronco Sport — different platform entirely.

Component Specifications

What Is and Is NOT Included

Critical Compatibility

This kit requires two confirmed prerequisites before ordering. Missing either one means this kit will not install correctly.

Prerequisite 1 — Steel bumper with integrated fog pockets: This kit mounts to the fog light pockets on a steel front bumper. The factory Sasquatch steel bumper and compatible aftermarket steel bumpers with integrated fog pockets are the intended mounting surface. The standard Bronco plastic bumper does not have compatible fog pockets — this kit will not fit. If you have the standard plastic bumper, see 447762UP.

Prerequisite 2 — Factory Upfitter switch bank: The included harness connects to the Ford Bronco factory Upfitter switch bank. If your Bronco is not equipped with the Upfitter switch panel, this harness has nothing to connect to. Text (469) 407-7538 to confirm the correct variant for non-Upfitter configurations.

Bumper or Upfitter confirmation needed? Text (469) 407-7538 before ordering.

Steel Bumper vs. Standard Bumper — Which Kit Do You Need?

Installation Notes

Steel bumper fog pocket confirmation is mandatory before ordering. Not all steel bumpers have fog pockets, and not all fog pockets share the same dimensions. Confirm your steel bumper has integrated fog light pockets compatible with S2 SAE Sportsmen mount dimensions before purchasing. Text (469) 407-7538 with your bumper make and model to confirm compatibility before your order ships.

Upfitter switch confirmation is mandatory before ordering. The included harness is plug-and-play for the Ford Bronco factory Upfitter switch bank. If your Bronco does not have the Upfitter switch panel, this harness will not connect. Confirm your Bronco's build sheet or window sticker shows the Upfitter switch option before ordering.

SAE aim is required after installation. The S2 SAE Sportsmen uses SAE-regulated optics for street-legal fog light use. Incorrect aim after installation causes glare to oncoming traffic and may void SAE compliance. Aim the fog lights per SAE and DOT requirements after installation — use a fog light aiming tool or verify at a qualified shop.

Direct-fit installation. Steel bumper-specific mounting brackets are included — follow Baja Designs installation instructions for correct bracket orientation and torque specifications.

Road legality. SAE compliance meets federal auxiliary fog light standards. Local regulations may impose additional requirements — verify compliance with your state DMV or DOT before road use.

The Obsidian Take

The S2 SAE Sportsmen Steel Bumper kit is the correct choice for a Bronco owner who has already committed to the steel bumper upgrade and has the factory Upfitter switch bank — SAE-compliant fog light output in the fog pockets, plug-and-play Upfitter integration, no fabrication, and street-legal optics out of the box.

If you have the standard factory plastic bumper, this kit has no mounting solution — run 447762UP, which is built for the plastic bumper fog pockets with the same Upfitter wiring integration.

If you have a steel bumper but no Upfitter switches, the harness in this kit will not connect — text (469) 407-7538 to confirm the correct non-Upfitter variant before ordering.

The steel bumper fog pocket kit is a purpose-built solution for a specific Bronco configuration. Get both prerequisites confirmed before the order ships and it is a direct bolt-in. Miss either one and it is a return.

Common Questions

How do I confirm my steel bumper has compatible fog pockets?
Not all steel bumpers include fog light pockets, and pocket dimensions vary by manufacturer. Confirm with your bumper manufacturer that the fog pocket dimensions are compatible with S2 SAE Sportsmen mount hardware. Text (469) 407-7538 with your bumper make and model and we will confirm before your order ships.

How do I confirm my Bronco has the Upfitter switch bank?
Check your Bronco's window sticker or build sheet for the Upfitter switch option. The Upfitter switch bank is a factory option — not all Broncos are equipped. If you are unsure, text (469) 407-7538 and we will help confirm before ordering.

What is the difference between 448178UP and 447762UP?
448178UP (this listing) mounts to the fog pockets on a steel front bumper and includes the Upfitter switch harness. 447762UP mounts to the factory plastic bumper fog pockets and includes the same Upfitter switch harness. The fog light pods and wiring are the same — the mounting brackets are different.

Does this fit the Bronco Sport?
No. The Bronco Sport is a different platform with different bumper and fog light configurations. This kit is specific to the 2021–2026 Ford Bronco two-door and four-door.

Is SAE compliance the same as DOT compliance?
SAE standards are the technical specifications that DOT fog light compliance is based on. SAE-compliant fog light optics meet federal motor vehicle safety standards for auxiliary fog light use. Local regulations may impose additional requirements — verify with your state DMV or DOT before road use.
