Purpose-Built A-Pillar Lighting for the 2021-2025 Ford Raptor That Installs Without Drilling
The Baja Designs 440021 is a complete Squadron Pro 2.0 A-Pillar light kit engineered specifically for the 2021-2025 Ford F-150 Raptor. Each of the two included Squadron Pro 2.0 lights puts out 5,921 raw lumens at 65 watts using next-generation Cree LED optics in a Driving/Combo beam pattern, representing a 41% output increase over the previous generation Squadron Pro. The 440021 includes vehicle-specific A-pillar mounting brackets that align precisely to the Raptor's existing body structure with no drilling required, along with a toggle switch wiring harness engineered to integrate with the Raptor's factory upfitter switches. IP69K waterproofing means these lights endure full submersion, pressure washing, and sustained off-road abuse. The standard Deutsch 4-pin connector ensures a secure, vibration-resistant electrical connection that holds up through years of hard use. Everything needed for a clean, professional installation is in the box.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Baja Designs 440021 fit the 2021-2025 Ford F-150 Raptor without drilling?Yes. The 440021 kit includes vehicle-specific A-pillar brackets machined to align with the Raptor's existing body structure. The installation uses existing attachment points and requires no drilling, cutting, or permanent modification to the truck. The brackets are designed to hold the Squadron Pro 2.0 lights at the correct position relative to the A-pillar for the 2021-2025 Raptor body style.
Does the 440021 wiring harness work with the Ford Raptor's factory upfitter switches?Yes. The included toggle switch harness in the 440021 kit is specifically engineered to connect to the factory upfitter switches built into the 2021-2025 Ford F-150 Raptor's center console. This allows you to control the lights using the OEM switch panel rather than adding an aftermarket toggle, keeping the interior clean and factory-looking.
How bright are the Squadron Pro 2.0 lights in the Baja Designs 440021 kit?Each Squadron Pro 2.0 light in the 440021 kit produces 5,921 raw lumens at 65 watts. Running both lights simultaneously delivers 11,842 combined raw lumens. This is a 41% increase in light output over the previous generation Squadron Pro, while also delivering improved beam control and higher electrical efficiency through next-generation optics.
What beam pattern does the Baja Designs 440021 use?The 440021 kit uses the Driving/Combo beam pattern, which combines a 42-degree driving optic with a 9-degree spot optic in a single light. This Lighting Zone 3 setup delivers both near-field illumination for close obstacles and long-range spot projection simultaneously, making it the most versatile single-pattern option for trail driving, off-road recovery, and overland travel.
Will the 440021 fit the 2023-2025 Ford Raptor R?Yes. The Raptor R shares the same A-pillar geometry and upfitter switch layout as the standard Raptor, and the 440021 vehicle-specific brackets are compatible with both the Raptor and Raptor R for the 2021-2025 generation. Always confirm your truck's specific build year and body trim level before ordering.
What is the IP69K rating on the Baja Designs 440021 lights?IP69K is the highest available waterproofing and dust protection rating in the IP rating system. It means the Squadron Pro 2.0 lights are completely dust-tight and withstand high-pressure, high-temperature water jets from any direction, as well as submersion. This is the same protection standard used in heavy equipment, agricultural machinery, and military-spec lighting applications.
Can I run the Baja Designs 440021 on a 24V or diesel truck electrical system?Yes. The Squadron Pro 2.0 lights in the 440021 kit operate across a 12-32V input range, making them compatible with both standard 12V automotive systems and 24V systems. However, the included upfitter switch harness is calibrated for the Ford Raptor's 12V system. If adapting to a non-Raptor 24V application, verify harness compatibility separately.
Does the 440021 include extra lens kits?Yes. In addition to the standard Driving/Combo clear lenses installed on the lights, the 440021 kit includes a spare Clear/Wide Cornering lens kit for each light. This allows you to swap the beam pattern from Driving/Combo to Wide Cornering without purchasing additional accessories, giving you two beam pattern options from one kit purchase.
What is the expected lifespan of the LEDs in the Baja Designs 440021?The Squadron Pro 2.0 LED modules in the 440021 are rated for 49,930 hours of operational life. At typical off-road and auxiliary lighting usage patterns, this represents the practical lifetime of the vehicle in most applications.
Installation Instructions
- Disconnect the negative battery terminal before beginning any wiring work.
- Open the 440021 kit and identify all components: 2x Squadron Pro 2.0 lights, 2x A-pillar brackets, the upfitter switch wiring harness, lens kits, and hardware bag.
- Position the passenger-side A-pillar bracket against the Raptor's A-pillar body panel at the designated mounting location. Thread the stainless hardware finger-tight to confirm alignment before final torquing.
- Repeat bracket fitment on the driver side.
- Mount each Squadron Pro 2.0 light onto its respective bracket. Adjust the vertical aim angle to your preferred beam direction, then torque the pivot bolt to lock position.
- Route the wiring harness from the engine compartment through the firewall grommet to the interior. Baja Designs provides a dedicated routing path that avoids moving components and heat sources.
- Connect the harness leads to the appropriate upfitter switch terminals in the Raptor center console. Refer to the included Baja Designs wiring diagram for the correct switch pin assignment.
- Connect the Deutsch 4-pin connector from each light to the corresponding harness lead. The connectors are keyed and cannot be mis-seated.
- Connect the harness ground wire to a clean chassis ground point near the battery or firewall.
- Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Test both lights through the upfitter switch before closing up the firewall grommet and securing the harness with the supplied zip ties.
- With the lights on, perform final vertical and horizontal beam aim adjustment. Lock the bracket pivot bolts to their final torque spec once aim is confirmed.
