Baja Designs 2024+ Toyota Tacoma Squadron Pro 2.0 A-Pillar Kit (Driving/Combo) - Clear

Next-Generation A-Pillar LED Light Kit with 5,921 Lumen Squadron Pro 2.0 Pods and RGBW Backlight for the 2024-2026 Toyota Tacoma

The Baja Designs 440008 Squadron Pro 2.0 A-Pillar Kit is built specifically for the 2024-2026 Toyota Tacoma, delivering two Squadron Pro 2.0 LED pods at 5,921 lumens each and 65W per light with vehicle-specific A-pillar mounting brackets. The 440008 uses a Driving/Combo beam pattern that combines a focused long-range driving beam with a wider combo spread for side illumination, making it effective across trail, desert, and overland environments. Each pod includes a 4-pin Deutsch connector, RGBW backlight with nine selectable colors, uService clip-in reflectors for tool-free lens swaps, and an updated IP69K-rated gasket design. The toggle switch harness included allows in-cab control of both the main output and the backlight independently.

Frequently Asked Questions

The 440008 Squadron Pro 2.0 produces 5,921 lumens per light at 65W, while the 440009 Squadron Sport 2.0 produces 3,200 lumens per light at 30W. Both use identical vehicle-specific A-pillar brackets for the 2024-2026 Tacoma and include the same Driving/Combo beam pattern. The Pro delivers significantly more output for owners who prioritize maximum trail visibility at speed, while the Sport is a lower-current option for those who want capable auxiliary lighting at a lower output level.

Yes. The 440008 A-pillar kit is compatible with the 2024-2026 Toyota Tacoma across all trims including the TRD Pro. The vehicle-specific brackets are engineered for the 4th generation Tacoma platform introduced for 2024. Confirm that no factory lighting package or trim-specific accessories on TRD Pro models conflict with the A-pillar bracket positions prior to installation.

Yes. The 440008 is compatible with all 2024-2026 Tacoma powertrain configurations including the standard 2.4L turbocharged engine and the i-FORCE MAX hybrid variant. The A-pillar mounting system is body-based and is not affected by the powertrain under the hood.

The 2.0 generation delivers 21 percent more light output at the same 65W power draw compared to the previous generation. The 2.0 also introduces the RGBW backlight, updated 4-pin Deutsch connector replacing the older 3-pin connector, clip-in uService reflectors for easier lens changes, and a redesigned gasket for improved IP69K sealing. The new mounting bracket offers greater vertical adjustability for more precise aiming.

The 440008 uses a Driving/Combo beam pattern in a clear lens. The Driving component provides a focused, long-range beam for projecting light far down a trail or road. The Combo component adds a wider spread to illuminate the sides of the trail. Two additional lens kits are included in the box to convert each pod to either a pure Spot or a Wide Cornering pattern if a different beam shape is preferred.

For most installations, the included toggle switch harness provides everything needed for a functional installation. The relay harness connects directly to the vehicle battery for power delivery, runs to the pods via the 4-pin Deutsch connectors, and terminates at an in-cab toggle switch. No additional relay, fuse block, or custom wiring is required for a two-pod installation using the standard setup.

The included toggle harness is rated for the two pods in the 440008 kit. Adding more light pods requires an additional relay harness with a higher current capacity. Baja Designs offers wiring harness options for multi-pod configurations. Adding pods without upgrading the harness risks overloading the relay and wiring in the kit.

Baja Designs recommends aiming the pods on level ground with the vehicle unloaded. Park 25 feet from a flat, light-colored wall and adjust the vertical angle of each pod so the hot spot of the beam falls below the horizontal line at 25 feet. The updated bracket on the Squadron Pro 2.0 provides greater vertical adjustability than the previous generation, making aiming easier without requiring full hardware removal.

Installation Notes

1. Test-fit both A-pillar brackets on the 2024-2026 Tacoma A-pillars before routing any wiring.
2. Route the relay harness from the engine bay to the battery and through the firewall to the in-cab switch location per the included instructions.
3. Fuse the power lead from the battery per the harness instructions before making any connections.
4. Attach each Squadron Pro 2.0 pod to its bracket and tighten all fasteners to the specified torque.
5. Connect the 4-pin Deutsch connectors from each pod to the harness leads.
6. Mount the toggle switch in an accessible in-cab location.
7. Aim both pods per Baja Designs' aiming procedure at 25 feet from a level wall before trail use.
8. Test both main output and RGBW backlight function before the first use.
