Product Overview

The Baja Designs Squadron Sport / S8 40" A-Pillar / Cowl Mount Light Kit is one of the most complete lighting solutions available for Jeep JL and JT platforms. This system combines ditch lighting (A-pillar mounted pods) with a forward-facing 40" S8 light bar, delivering unmatched versatility and coverage in a single package.

At the core of the kit are two Squadron Sport LED pods, each producing approximately 3,150 lumens, paired with a 40-inch S8 light bar delivering over 25,000 lumens of high-performance output.

This combination allows for:

  • Wide-angle ditch lighting for trails, corners, and obstacles
  • Long-distance forward projection for high-speed off-road driving

The A-pillar / cowl mounting position is one of the most effective setups available—placing light exactly where it’s needed without interfering with airflow or the vehicle’s overall look.

Engineered with powder-coated steel brackets, this kit offers a secure, long-lasting installation that integrates seamlessly with factory mounting points.

Built to Baja Designs’ standards, the system features aircraft-grade aluminum housings, hard-coated lenses, and MoistureBlock™ waterproofing, ensuring durability in the harshest off-road environments.

Whether you're overlanding, trail riding, or building a high-performance Jeep, this kit delivers a complete, professional-grade lighting solution. Now available at LEER.
