Fitment, Shipping & Product Support
The Squadron-R SAE in Baja Amber — a road-legal auxiliary fog light pair in a compact 3.07-inch round housing delivering 2,420 lumens and up to 15,800 candela per light at 29 watts through aspheric projector optics. SAE J583 compliant. Baja Amber lens for improved performance in dust, fog, and precipitation. Wiring harness and mounting hardware included.
Before ordering: If you plan to mount these lights upside down or sideways, contact Baja Designs before ordering to have the optics adjusted for that orientation. Standard mounting orientation is required for the SAE fog pattern to perform correctly. uService is NOT available on SAE products — do not tamper with the optics or lenses. Any modification voids the warranty. Warranty repairs must be returned to Baja Designs. This is a universal pair — no vehicle-specific mounting brackets are included beyond the stainless steel hardware in the box.

What Is and Is NOT Included
Included:
- Squadron-R SAE LED Light Pods — Baja Amber, SAE Fog (2 — pair)
- Wiring harness (1)
- Mounting hardware (stainless steel)
Not included:
- Vehicle-specific mounting brackets — confirm your mounting application before ordering
Critical Compatibility
- Mounting orientation — optic adjustment required for non-standard mounting: The Squadron-R SAE fog pattern is calibrated for standard upright horizontal mounting. If your application requires mounting upside down or sideways, contact Baja Designs before ordering to have the optics adjusted for that orientation.
- uService NOT available on SAE products: These fog lights cannot have their lenses or optics modified or replaced in the field. Any tampering voids the warranty. Warranty repairs must be returned to Baja Designs directly.
- SAE J583 compliance — street legal fog lamp: These lights meet SAE J583 fog lamp requirements and are road-legal as auxiliary fog lights. They are not DOT headlight replacements.
- Baja Amber lens — this SKU: Primary output light appears amber-colored. The Baja Amber lens is specifically suited for dust, fog, rain, and precipitation — it minimizes scatter and glare while maintaining the controlled Zone 1 cutoff pattern. For clear-lens output, see SKU 247802.
- Zone 1 fog pattern: Wide, near-field horizontal fog beam with a sharp cutoff that prevents blinding oncoming traffic. Not a driving or spot light — for forward distance illumination, pair with a driving/combo or spot pod.
- Universal application: No vehicle-specific mounting brackets are included. Confirm your bracket and mounting surface before ordering.
Installation Notes
Professional installation is recommended. The Squadron-R SAE mounts using the included stainless steel mounting hardware in standard upright horizontal orientation. If a non-standard mounting orientation is required, contact Baja Designs before ordering to have the optics adjusted.
SAE component caution: Do not attempt to modify, rework, or service the Squadron-R SAE optics or lenses in the field. uService is not available on SAE products. Any tampering voids the warranty; repairs must be handled by Baja Designs directly.
Refer to the current Baja Designs installation instructions for SKU 247816 for complete procedures, torque specifications, and wiring diagrams.
The Obsidian Take
The 247816 is the Baja Amber variant of the Squadron-R SAE pair — the same 2,420-lumen, 15,800-candela, SAE J583 compliant round fog light platform as SKU 247802 (Clear), with Baja Amber filtration optimized for the conditions this light is built for: dust, fog, and precipitation. The amber lens reduces light scatter in suspended particles, which is the primary use case for a Zone 1 fog lamp in the first place. The mounting orientation and uService restrictions are unchanged. Choose 247816 for dust and fog environments; choose 247802 when you want white-light clear-lens output from the same platform.
This Product Is For You If
- You want a universal road-legal SAE J583 fog light pair in Baja Amber for improved performance in dust, fog, and precipitation.
- You want 2,420 lumens and sharp Zone 1 cutoff performance per light with amber filtration.
- Your mounting application uses standard upright horizontal orientation — or you will contact Baja Designs to have optics adjusted before ordering for a non-standard mount.
- You understand that uService is not available on these lights and warranty repairs require return to Baja Designs.
This Product Is Not For You If
- You want clear-lens output — see SKU 247802 for the clear-lens Squadron-R SAE pair.
- You need vehicle-specific mounting brackets — source those separately.
- You are mounting upside down or sideways and have not contacted Baja Designs to adjust the optics before ordering.
- You want field-serviceable optics — uService is not available on SAE products.
- You need a driving or spot beam — the Squadron-R SAE is a Zone 1 fog light only.

Common Questions
What is the difference between SKU 247816 and SKU 247802?
The only difference is lens color. SKU 247816 has a Baja Amber lens. SKU 247802 has a clear lens. All other specifications — lumens, candela, wattage, amperage, housing, dimensions, compliance, and harness — are identical.
Why choose Baja Amber for a fog light?
The Baja Amber lens reduces light scatter and glare in suspended particles — dust, fog, rain, and snow. In a Zone 1 fog application, the Baja Amber lens improves visibility in the conditions where fog lights are most needed while maintaining the sharp cutoff that prevents blinding oncoming traffic.
Can I mount these upside down or sideways?
Only after contacting Baja Designs to have the optics adjusted for that orientation before ordering. Installing in a non-standard orientation without adjustment produces an incorrect beam pattern.
Are these lights road-legal?
Yes. The Squadron-R SAE meets SAE J583 fog lamp requirements and is street legal as an auxiliary fog light. These are not DOT headlight replacements.
Is a wiring harness included?
Yes. A wiring harness and all necessary mounting hardware are included with this pair.
What does "uService NOT available on SAE products" mean?
The Squadron-R SAE optics and lenses cannot be modified or replaced in the field. Tampering voids the warranty. If repair is needed, the unit must be returned to Baja Designs.
How waterproof are these lights?
IP69K rated — waterproof to 9 feet and pressure washable. The system also exceeds MIL-STD-810G and is IK10 impact resistant.
What is the warranty?
Baja Designs provides a Limited Lifetime Warranty and a 30-Day Money Back Satisfaction Guarantee. uService is not available on SAE products — warranty repairs require return to Baja Designs.
