The Baja Designs 668016 Squadron 2.0 Rock Guard is a single clear protective cover for the Squadron 2.0 Sport and Pro square and hex housing light pods. Constructed from hardcoated polycarbonate, it mounts over the lens face to intercept rock strikes, trail debris, and roost before they can reach the optic. Because the 668016 rock guard is clear, it preserves the original color output and beam characteristics of your Squadron 2.0 pod without any tint shift. Sold individually as one rock guard.
Why Rock Guards Matter Off-Road
Auxiliary lights positioned on bumpers, grille guards, or A-pillars take the full brunt of debris thrown up by the terrain. A cracked lens requires a repair or full replacement that a rock guard could have prevented. The rock guard absorbs impacts as a sacrificial component, and replacing a single rock guard costs a fraction of what a new pod costs.
Choosing a clear rock guard keeps your light output exactly as designed. There is no color shift, no change in color temperature, and no reduction in perceived brightness associated with tinting. If your priority is maximum light output fidelity, clear is the correct choice.
Compatibility
Part 668016 fits the Squadron 2.0 Sport and Pro only. The standard Squadron 2.0 uses a square or hex housing profile that is different from the round housing used by the Squadron-R 2.0.
- Compatible: Squadron 2.0 Sport, Squadron 2.0 Pro (square/hex housing)
- Not compatible: Squadron-R 2.0 Sport or Pro (round housing)
- Not compatible: Squadron 2.0 flush mount models
The Squadron 2.0 and Squadron-R 2.0 use different housing geometries. Rock guards designed for one will not fit the other. If you own a Squadron-R 2.0 with a round housing, see the separate Squadron-R 2.0 rock guard.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a clear rock guard and an amber rock guard?
A clear rock guard provides physical protection without altering the color of the light output. An amber rock guard shifts the color temperature toward amber, which can improve contrast in dusty or foggy conditions but changes the perceived color of the light. If you want your Squadron 2.0 to retain its original output characteristics, the clear option is the correct choice.
What is the difference between the Squadron 2.0 and the Squadron-R 2.0?
The Squadron 2.0 uses a square or hex housing profile. The Squadron-R 2.0 uses a round housing designed for 4-inch round bezel cutouts. The two product lines use different rock guards. Part 668016 is for the Squadron 2.0 (square/hex) only and will not fit the Squadron-R 2.0.
Is part 668016 compatible with Squadron 2.0 flush mount models?
No. The flush mount variant uses a different profile and is not compatible with this rock guard.
Is the 668016 sold individually or as a pair?
It is sold individually as a single rock guard. If your vehicle has two Squadron 2.0 pods, you will need to order two units to protect both lights.
How does the rock guard install on the Squadron 2.0?
The rock guard is designed to attach to the front of the Squadron 2.0 housing without drilling or permanent modification to the light.
Is the 668016 compatible with both the Squadron 2.0 Sport and the Squadron 2.0 Pro?
Yes. The rock guard fits both the Sport and Pro variants of the Squadron 2.0 square/hex housing. It is not compatible with the Squadron-R 2.0 round housing variants.
Will the clear rock guard reduce light output?
A clear polycarbonate cover introduces a minimal reduction in light transmission compared to an unprotected lens, but the difference is not perceptible in normal use. The primary function is protection, and the clear material preserves the original beam color and pattern.
How durable is the polycarbonate material?
Polycarbonate is among the most impact-resistant transparent materials in common use. The hardcoat applied to the surface of the 668016 adds scratch resistance. As a sacrificial component designed to take impacts, it is expected to show wear over time, and replacement is straightforward and low-cost.
What warranty does part 668016 carry?
The 668016 rock guard is covered by a Limited Lifetime warranty plus a 30-Day Satisfaction Guarantee from Baja Designs.
