Baja Designs Squadron SAE LED Auxiliary Light Pod Pair | Street-Legal | Fog & Driving

Baja Designs Squadron SAE LED Auxiliary Light Pod Pair | Street-Legal SAE Optics | Full-Size Squadron Body | SKU: BAJ257801

The Baja Designs Squadron SAE (SKU: BAJ257801) is a pair of full-size SAE-compliant LED auxiliary light pods engineered for street-legal on-road use. SAE-regulated optics meet DOT compliance standards for auxiliary fog and driving lights — legal for on-road use in most jurisdictions when properly installed. The Squadron SAE uses the full-size Squadron pod body — larger than the Squadron-R (BAJ247816) and larger than the S2 Sport. Designed for fog pocket mounting, bumper auxiliary light positions, and any application requiring a street-legal auxiliary light with full-size Squadron output. IP67 rated. Sold as a pair. Wiring harness sold separately.

Application

Universal mount — compatible with any vehicle, truck, UTV, or equipment requiring street-legal auxiliary lighting. Confirm mounting location and wiring harness compatibility before ordering. A relay harness is required for proper installation. Confirm your mounting solution accommodates the full-size Squadron pod body dimensions — larger than S2 Sport and Squadron-R.

Squadron SAE vs. Squadron-R vs. Squadron Sport — Critical Distinction

• Squadron Sport (BAJ557803 / BAJ557805 / BAJ557806 / BAJ557813): Off-road optics — maximum output, no SAE compliance. Legal for off-road use only. Not street-legal as auxiliary lights in most jurisdictions.
• Squadron-R SAE (BAJ247816): SAE-compliant optics — compact Squadron-R body. Street-legal auxiliary fog or driving light. Smaller footprint than Squadron SAE.
• Squadron SAE (BAJ257801, this listing): SAE-compliant optics — full-size Squadron body. Street-legal auxiliary fog or driving light. Larger output and footprint than Squadron-R. Best when maximum SAE-compliant output is needed.

What SAE Compliance Means

• SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) optics meet DOT standards for auxiliary fog and driving lights
• Regulated beam pattern prevents excessive glare to oncoming traffic — required for legal on-road auxiliary light use in most US states
• Off-road lights (Squadron Sport, S2 Sport) do not meet SAE standards and are not legal for on-road use as auxiliary lights in most jurisdictions
• Verify local regulations before installation — SAE compliance does not guarantee legality in all jurisdictions

Installation Notes

• Wiring harness required: A relay harness is required to protect your vehicle’s factory wiring. Do not wire directly to a factory switch without a relay.
• Pod size confirmation: Squadron SAE uses the full-size Squadron body — confirm your mounting location accommodates the Squadron pod dimensions before ordering. Squadron-R (BAJ247816) is available if a smaller footprint is needed.
• Mounting position for SAE compliance: SAE-compliant lights must be mounted at the correct height and aimed per SAE/DOT requirements. Confirm mounting height and aim requirements for your jurisdiction before installation.
• Aim before final torque: Aim the lights per SAE/DOT requirements before torquing mount hardware. Incorrect aim can cause glare to oncoming traffic and may void SAE compliance.
• Connector sealing: Ensure all wiring connectors are fully seated and sealed after installation.

Installation Warning

Do not wire without a relay harness. Aim per SAE/DOT requirements — incorrect aim causes glare to oncoming traffic. SAE compliance does not guarantee legality in all jurisdictions — verify local regulations before use on public roads. Once installed, the pods are non-returnable.

What vehicle and mounting location — need a smaller SAE pod? See Squadron-R (BAJ247816). Need off-road maximum output instead of SAE compliance? See Squadron Sport series. Contact OFAS at 903-347-3875 to confirm the right SAE variant for your application.
