Fitment, Shipping & Product Support
The Baja Designs Squadron Pro (SKU 497813) is a pair of high-output LED light pods in the Driving/Combo optic pattern with amber lens, packing significant output in the same compact 3" footprint as the Squadron Sport. The amber lens filters blue light wavelengths that scatter in dust, fog, sand, and precipitation, reducing glare and improving contrast and depth perception in low-visibility conditions. The Driving/Combo pattern combines Driving (42°) and Spot (9°) optics for a smooth blend of near-field and long-range light — more forward reach than the Wide Cornering pattern while retaining the amber lens benefit for dust and fog environments. Sleek black gloss aluminum housing, hard anodized and powder-coated cast aluminum, billet-machined aluminum bezel, hardcoated amber polycarbonate lens, stainless steel hardware. CopperDrive circuitry, MoistureBlock waterproofing to 9 feet, uService replaceable lenses and optics, ClearView optical design. IP69K rated, IK10 impact compliant, exceeds MIL-STD810G, built-in overvoltage protection. Includes wiring harness with built-in switch and relay, plus mounting brackets — uses the same footprint as the Squadron Sport, so existing Squadron Sport mounts are compatible. 30-day money-back guarantee, limited lifetime warranty.
Note: The included harness has a built-in toggle switch and relay. If your vehicle has factory Upfitter auxiliary switches, you may prefer to purchase a separate Baja Designs "upfitter" harness instead.

Squadron Pro vs. Squadron Sport — Amber Driving/Combo
| Model | LEDs | Output Tier | Footprint |
|---|---|---|---|
| Squadron Sport Amber Driving/Combo (557813) | 4 | High output | 3.07" x 2.77" x 3.07" |
| Squadron Pro Amber Driving/Combo (this listing) | 4 | Maximum output | 3.07" x 2.77" x 3.07" (identical) |
The Squadron Pro achieves higher output through advanced LED and driver technology at the same LED count and footprint as the Squadron Sport — not through a dual-row LED array.
Squadron Pro Complete Pattern and Lens Guide

| Driving/Combo | Clear | 497803 |
| Driving/Combo (this listing) | Amber | 497813 |
| Wide Cornering | Amber | 497815 |
Amber Driving/Combo vs. Amber Wide Cornering — Which Pattern
| Configuration | Best For |
|---|---|
| Amber Driving/Combo (this listing) | Balanced forward throw and side spread — desert, dusty road, mixed terrain where forward visibility in dust matters |
| Amber Wide Cornering (497815) | Maximum side spread, minimal forward throw — slow-speed technical trail, switchbacks, cornering |
Verified Application
| Configuration | Status |
|---|---|

Critical Compatibility
| Configuration | Notes |
|---|---|
| Public road use | Amber auxiliary lighting legality may differ from white lighting by jurisdiction — verify compliance before street use |
| Mounting | Same footprint as Squadron Sport — existing Squadron Sport-compatible mounts work for this light |
| Vehicles with factory Upfitter switches | Consider a separate Upfitter-style harness instead of the included toggle-switch harness |
Common Questions
Does this come with a wiring harness?
Yes — a wiring harness with a built-in toggle switch and relay is included, along with mounting brackets.
Is this a dual-row LED light?
No. It uses 4 LEDs per light, the same count as the Squadron Sport — the higher output comes from more advanced LED and driver technology, not additional LEDs.
Will my existing Squadron Sport mount work for this light?
Yes — the Squadron Pro uses the identical footprint to the Squadron Sport.
Should I choose this or the Wide Cornering amber version (497815)?
This Driving/Combo version retains more forward throw alongside the amber benefit. The Wide Cornering version prioritizes side spread over forward reach.
The Obsidian Take
The Squadron Pro Driving/Combo Amber (497813) is for the desert racer or dust/fog-prone off-roader who wants the Squadron Pro's maximum output with meaningful forward reach alongside the amber lens benefit. Harness, brackets, and all hardware included.
If you already have Squadron Sport mounting brackets installed, this light drops right in as a direct output upgrade. And if your vehicle has factory Upfitter switches, consider swapping the included toggle harness for a dedicated Upfitter harness instead.
