When the Sport Isn't Enough — The Squadron 2.0 Pro
The Baja Designs Squadron 2.0 Pro sits above the Sport in the Squadron lineup — same completely redesigned platform, higher output, and premium optics engineered for enthusiasts who push harder and go deeper. The 2.0 Pro shares the same modern gloss-black aluminum housing, RGBW backlight with nine selectable colors, and comprehensive uService design as the Sport, but delivers more raw performance where it counts most: after dark on demanding terrain.
Choose from four precision-engineered optic patterns — Spot for maximum reach, Driving/Combo for balanced distance and spread, Wide Cornering for tight technical trails, and Work/Scene for camp and recovery. Both Clear and Baja Amber lens options available for every optic. The 4-pin Deutsch connector, clip-in reflectors, redesigned gasket, and new mounting bracket carry over from the 2.0 platform redesign. uService means optics and lenses swap without taking the light off the vehicle. Backed by Baja Designs' 30-day money-back guarantee and limited lifetime warranty.

Squadron 2.0 Pro vs. Sport — Which Should You Choose?
The Sport (3,200 lumens, 30W) is the right choice for most builds — excellent performance at a lower price point. The Pro delivers higher output for those who need maximum performance on demanding terrain or want to push further into zone 4. If you're building a dedicated off-road rig and performance ceiling matters, the Pro is worth the step up. For most street/trail dual-use builds, the Sport hits the sweet spot.
Fitment
Universal fit. Compatible with any vehicle with proper mounting hardware. Use vehicle-specific bracket kits for A-pillar, ditch, or bumper mounting applications.
FAQ
How does the Pro compare to the Sport?
The Pro delivers higher output than the Sport — same 2.0 platform redesign, premium optics for more demanding use cases. If you need maximum performance for fast desert running or extended backcountry use, the Pro is the right choice. For most trail and road builds, the Sport is excellent value.
Which optic should I choose?
Spot for long-range open terrain. Driving/Combo for versatile mixed use. Wide Cornering for tight technical trails where near-field illumination matters. Work/Scene for stationary use — camp, recovery, and work lighting.
Clear or Baja Amber?
Clear gives maximum raw output at 5000K white. Baja Amber penetrates dust, fog, and rain better — the warm wavelength reflects less off airborne particles. Desert runners and coastal builds often prefer Amber.
Do I need the harness version?
Get With Harness if you're starting fresh. Choose No Harness if you're wiring into a dedicated switch panel, fuse block, or existing harness where you don't need the included wiring.

Color Selectable Backlight
The Squadron 2.0 features an integrated 9-color selectable backlight. Drivers can toggle between red, green, blue, magenta, cyan, amber, yellow, pink, and white, all configurable through the included harness.
