Put 3,200 Lumens of Trail-Ready Light on Your Raptor's A-Pillars

Every component in the 440022 kit, from the newly designed vertical-adjustable mounting brackets to the 4-pin Deutsch connectors, has been purpose-built for this generation of Raptor.

About Baja Designs
Baja Designs builds its products for the Baja 1000 first and the street second. Every Squadron 2.0 pod in the 440022 kit has been validated through desert racing before it reaches a consumer's truck. The Squadron 2.0 Sport is the current-generation redesign of their most proven pod platform, featuring next-generation optics, RGBW backlight integration, and an updated uService reflector system that makes lens changes achievable in minutes. When Baja Designs issues a kit number for a specific vehicle like the 440022 for the Raptor, the brackets and harnesses are engineered for that exact truck, not adapted from a universal platform.
FAQ
What years of Ford F-150 Raptor does the Baja Designs 440022 fit?The 440022 fits the 2021-2026 Ford F-150 Raptor, the 2024-2026 Ford F-150 Raptor 37, and the 2024-2026 Ford F-150 Raptor R. It uses dedicated A-pillar mounting brackets specific to this generation of the Raptor chassis and is not compatible with 2020 or earlier Raptor models.
Does the Baja Designs 440022 include a wiring harness?Yes. The 440022 kit includes both an Upfitter Harness and a 55-inch Splitter Harness. The Upfitter Harness is designed to connect directly to the Ford Raptor's factory upfitter switches, allowing the Squadron 2.0 pods to be controlled from the factory switch bank without additional controllers or relays.
Can I change the beam pattern on the Squadron 2.0 Sport pods in the 440022?Yes. The 440022 kit includes Spot and Wide Cornering lens kits in addition to the Driving/Combo configuration the pods ship in. The uService clip-in reflector system allows you to swap lenses without tools in a matter of minutes. This gives you three distinct beam configurations from a single pod investment.
What is RGBW backlight on the 440022 Squadron 2.0 pods?Each Squadron 2.0 Sport pod in the 440022 kit features a built-in RGBW backlight ring with nine selectable colors. This allows the pods to double as accent lighting when the main LEDs are off. Control of the RGBW backlight requires a compatible controller or connection to the Raptor's upfitter system through the supplied harness.
How does the Squadron 2.0 Sport compare to the original Squadron Sport?The Squadron 2.0 Sport delivers 3,200 lumens at 30W, a 26 percent improvement over the previous generation's output. It also introduces the uService clip-in reflector system for tool-free lens swaps, RGBW backlighting, a 4-pin Deutsch connector, next-generation optics, and a redesigned gasket for improved sealing. The mounting bracket in the 440022 has also been redesigned for increased vertical adjustability compared to the bracket in previous-generation kits.
Does the 440022 require drilling on the Raptor's A-pillars?No. The 440022 mounts directly to the Ford F-150 Raptor's factory A-pillar hardware locations using the included dedicated brackets and stainless steel hardware. No drilling, cutting, or permanent modification is required for installation.
What is the uService system on the Baja Designs 440022?uService is Baja Designs' clip-in reflector replacement system. Instead of factory-crimped or bonded lens assemblies, the Squadron 2.0 Sport pods in the 440022 use a clip-in reflector that snaps into place and can be removed by hand. This means you can swap between Driving/Combo, Spot, and Wide Cornering lenses in the field without tools and without returning the pod to a service center.
What is the warranty on the Baja Designs 440022?The 440022 is backed by Baja Designs' limited lifetime warranty on the LED pods and a 30-day satisfaction guarantee on the entire kit. Warranty claims are handled directly by Baja Designs through their customer service team.
Is the Baja Designs 440022 compatible with the Raptor's factory upfitter switches?Yes. The included Upfitter Harness in the 440022 kit is designed to integrate directly with the Ford F-150 Raptor's factory upfitter switch panel, allowing control of the Squadron 2.0 Sport pods from the truck's existing switch bank without adding aftermarket switches or relay kits.
Do the 440022 pods work on 12V and 24V systems?Yes. The Squadron 2.0 Sport pods in the 440022 are rated for 12-32V operation, making them compatible with both standard 12V automotive systems and 24V truck or commercial vehicle systems.
Installation Instructions
- Disconnect the negative battery terminal before beginning any electrical connections.
- Unbox the 440022 and identify all components: two Squadron 2.0 Sport pods, two A-pillar brackets, Upfitter Harness, 55-inch Splitter Harness, lens kits, and all mounting hardware.
- Locate the A-pillar mounting points on the driver and passenger sides of the 2021-2026 F-150 Raptor. These are the factory hard points the 440022 brackets align to.
- Mount the driver-side A-pillar bracket to the A-pillar at the designated factory locations using the included hardware. Thread bolts in finger-tight.
- Attach the Squadron 2.0 Sport pod to the bracket. Adjust vertical aim to your desired angle and thread pod hardware in finger-tight.
- Repeat for the passenger side.
- With all hardware in place, torque all bracket and pod mounting bolts to the specification listed in the Baja Designs 440022 instruction sheet.
- Connect the 4-pin Deutsch connectors on each pod to the 55-inch Splitter Harness. Connect the Splitter Harness to the Upfitter Harness.
- Route the Upfitter Harness through the firewall or along the A-pillar interior to the factory upfitter switch panel. Connect per the harness instruction sheet for your specific Raptor trim.
- Reconnect the battery. Power on and test both pods using the factory upfitter switches.
- Aim the pods at a flat wall 25 feet away. Adjust vertical aim so the hotspot of the beam is at or slightly below the horizon line.
- Lock down all pod mounting hardware to final torque spec and zip-tie all harness runs at regular intervals to prevent contact with moving parts.
