Baja Designs Squadron 2.0 A-Pillar Light Kit for 2025+ Toyota 4Runner (6th Gen)
The new 4Runner goes places where the trail bends hard and the edges matter. Your headlights won't show you the drop on the outside of a turn or the rock waiting on the inside line. A-pillar ditch lights will. We paired our stainless brackets with the light we kept reaching for on our own builds, the Baja Designs Squadron 2.0, so you can add proper ditch lights to your 6th Gen in one box.
The brackets are cut from 4mm stainless and follow the lines of the A-pillar, keeping windshield obstruction and hood glare to a minimum. They bolt to factory points with no drilling, so your 4Runner stays clean underneath.
Built Off the Fender
Most ditch lights hang from the underside of the hood. We took a different route and mounted ours to a factory location on the 4Runner's inner fender. On the trail, that means:
- Way less vibration, so the Squadrons hold their aim
- No hood deflection moving your lights around
- A light tucked behind the A-pillar, so your view stays clear and hood glare stays low
- A significantly easier install than a hood-mounted bracket
The payoff is the sleekest, lowest-profile ditch light you can put on a 6th Gen.
The Details
- Brackets: laser cut 4mm stainless steel with no coating to chip or rust. Designed and built by Tiny Rig Co.
- Lights: a pair of Baja Designs Squadron 2.0 pods, Sport or Pro, in the pattern and lens color you choose
- Wiring: Baja Designs toggle-switch harness included
- Install: bolt-on, about 10 minutes for the brackets with a 10mm socket
- Warranty: the lights carry Baja Designs' Limited Lifetime Warranty
Sport or Pro?
The Squadron 2.0 Sport makes 3,200 lumens per light at 30W (2.2A at 13.8V). That's plenty for a 4Runner that sees the trail on weekends and the highway the rest of the week. The Squadron 2.0 Pro jumps to 5,921 lumens at 65W (4.7A at 13.8V), for builds that spend real time off-road after dark. Both run on 12-32V, put out a 5000K daylight color and carry an IP69K rating.
Beam Pattern and Lens Color
For ditch lights, Wide Cornering is the go-to. It floods the sides of the truck and the inside of every turn. Driving/Combo trades a little spread for more reach. Run Clear for maximum output, or Baja Amber if you're often in dust, snow or fog.
You're not locked in, either. Baja's uService design lets you swap the lens and reflector later without replacing the light.
Built Into the Squadron 2.0
The 2.0 is a full redesign. Better optics give more distance and coverage with less spill. The nine-color RGBW backlight stays visible with the light on our bracket. There's also a tighter-sealing gasket, clip-in reflectors and a 4-pin Deutsch connector.
What It Fits

Running your own pods? The brackets are sold separately too.
Install
Peel back the rubber trim to find the M6 fender bolt, swap it for the new bolt with the bracket in place, and mount the light. The wiring tucks under that same trim into the engine bay, where it meets the Baja harness and switch.
FAQ
Is there any drilling? None. It's a bolt-on at the factory fender bolt.
Will it work with the Trailhunter snorkel? Yes, it clears it.
Can I see the backlight once it's mounted? Yes, the Squadron 2.0 backlight still shows on our bracket.
Better Light on the Road, Too
Ditch lights are off-road only, so they go dark once you're back on pavement. For light you can legally run on the street, swap your 4Runner's factory fogs for Baja Designs S2 SAE fog lights. They meet SAE J583 fog lamp requirements and have a sharp cutoff made for dust, fog, rain and snow.
