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.
