Baja Designs Squadron SAE LED Auxiliary Light Pod Pair — Universal SKU: 257801 | Universal | Pair | SAE Fog | Clear | Wiring Harness Included | Street Legal

The Squadron SAE is Baja Designs' road-legal auxiliary fog light pair built on aspheric projector optics and next-generation LED technology — 2,420 lumens per light, up to 15,800 candela at 29 watts, SAE J583 compliant. Zone 1 coverage with a sharp, controlled cutoff. 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.

Per Squadron SAE Pod:

What Is and Is NOT Included

Included:

• Squadron SAE LED Light Pods — Clear, 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 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.
• Zone 1 fog pattern: The Squadron SAE is engineered for Zone 1 — a wide, near-field horizontal fog beam with a sharp cutoff that prevents blinding oncoming traffic. It is not a driving or spot light.
• Clear lens — this SKU: Clear lens for fog performance. The aspheric projector optics and sharp cutoff pattern control glare without a colored lens filter.
• 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 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 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.

The Obsidian Take

The 257801 is the Squadron SAE pair — same 2,420-lumen, 15,800-candela, SAE J583 compliant fog platform as the Squadron-R SAE (247802), with harness included and the same mounting orientation and uService restrictions. Confirm with Baja Designs which housing profile fits your application — the Squadron and Squadron-R share the same core performance and specifications at this size. Both carry the identical pre-order caution: non-standard mounting orientation requires optic adjustment before the lights ship, and SAE products cannot be field-serviced under any circumstances.

This Product Is For You If

• You want a universal road-legal SAE J583 fog light pair with harness included.
• You want 2,420 lumens and sharp Zone 1 cutoff performance per light for fog, dust, and inclement weather.
• 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 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 for forward distance illumination — the Squadron SAE is a Zone 1 fog light only.

Common Questions

Can I mount these upside down or sideways?
Only after contacting Baja Designs to have the optics adjusted for that orientation. Installing in a non-standard orientation without adjustment produces an incorrect beam pattern.

What is the difference between the Squadron SAE and the Squadron-R SAE?
Both share the same optical specifications — 2,420 lumens, 15,800 candela, 29W, SAE J583 compliant. Confirm housing profile and mounting application compatibility with Baja Designs for your specific installation.

Are these lights road-legal?
Yes. The Squadron 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 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.
