The Baja Designs S8 Hood Mount Light Bar Kit is designed for drivers who want powerful off-road lighting in a compact, low-profile package. Mounted at the hood level, this system delivers a balanced combination of forward distance and near-field illumination, making it ideal for trail driving, desert runs, and everyday off-road use.
At the center of the kit is the S8 LED light bar, known for its slim, single-row design and impressive output. The included 10" light bar produces approximately 6,324 lumens while maintaining low power draw, making it an efficient yet powerful lighting solution.
One of the standout benefits of the hood-mounted position is improved usability compared to roof-mounted lights. By reducing glare off the hood and dust reflection, this setup provides clearer visibility in real-world off-road conditions.
The kit is engineered as a vehicle-specific solution, including custom mounting brackets and a plug-and-play wiring harness. Most applications require no cutting or drilling, making installation straightforward and clean.
Like other S8 systems, this kit also features Baja Designs’ signature amber backlight, which improves visibility in dust, fog, and adverse weather while adding a distinctive, high-end appearance.
Built with aircraft-grade aluminum housing, hard-coated polycarbonate lenses, and MoistureBlock™ waterproofing, the S8 hood mount kit is designed to withstand harsh off-road environments.
Whether you're upgrading a UTV or building a trail-ready truck, the S8 Hood Mount Kit delivers reliable, high-performance lighting in a compact and functional design. Now available at LEER.
