Six-Light Behind-the-Grille Kit with RGBW Backlighting for the 2021 and Newer Ford F-150 Raptor
The Baja Designs 440016 Squadron Sport 2.0 Behind Grille Kit is an all-in-one lighting solution engineered specifically for the 2021 and newer Ford F-150 Raptor, including 2024 and newer Raptor R and Raptor 37 variants. The 440016 kit fills lighting zones 1 through 4 with six next-generation Squadron 2.0 Sport lights in a combination of Wide Cornering, Driving Combo, and Spot beam patterns.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the 440016 kit work with adaptive cruise control on my Raptor?No. Baja Designs specifies that this kit is not compatible with adaptive cruise control relocation kits. If your Raptor has an ACC relocation kit installed, verify compatibility before purchasing.
What Raptor model years does the 440016 fit?This kit is designed for the 2021 through 2026 F-150 Raptor, 2024 through 2026 Raptor R, and 2024 through 2026 Raptor 37. It is not compatible with older second-generation Raptor models.
How many lights are included and what beam patterns do they use?The 440016 kit includes six Squadron 2.0 Sport lights in three beam patterns: two Wide Cornering, two Driving Combo, and two Spot, all in clear lens. This combination fills all four factory grille lighting zones for maximum coverage.
Does this kit use the Raptor's factory upfitter switches?Yes. Baja Designs includes an upfitter wiring harness in this kit specifically to allow you to connect the lights to the factory-wired upfitter switches on your Raptor's dash, resulting in a clean OEM-style installation with no added toggles.
What does uService mean for these lights?uService is Baja Designs' field-serviceability system. The clip-in reflectors on the Squadron 2.0 Sport stay locked during operation but can be removed without tools for lens or optic swaps in the field. It extends the service life of the lights significantly compared to sealed units.
Are these lights waterproof?Yes. Each Squadron 2.0 Sport carries an IP69K rating, which is the highest standard for protection against high-pressure, high-temperature water jets and submersion. They are suitable for water crossings, power washing, and all-weather trail use.
What is the lumen output of each light in this kit?Each Squadron 2.0 Sport produces 3,200 lumens at 30W and 2.2 amps at 13.8V. The 440016 kit contains six of these lights for a combined raw output of 19,200 lumens across all six pods.
What warranty does this kit carry?Baja Designs covers this kit with a Limited Lifetime Warranty and includes a 30-Day Satisfaction Guarantee for returns if the product does not meet your expectations.
Does this kit change the appearance of my Raptor from the outside?These lights mount behind the factory grille and do not change the exterior appearance of the truck when viewed from the front. The stock grille look is fully maintained.
