The Baja Designs 480003WT is a single S2 Pro White LED light pod delivering a Driving/Combo beam pattern from a compact, USA-made housing built to outlast the terrain you drive. Combining a 9-degree spot and a 42-degree driving arc into one 2-Cree-LED pod, this S2 Pro puts out 2,245 raw lumens at 23.46 watts, covering near-field and long-range zones simultaneously. Engineered and assembled by Baja Designs in San Marcos, California, the S2 Pro is backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty and a 30-Day Satisfaction Guarantee. Universal fit makes it at home on trucks, SUVs, Jeeps, UTVs, ATVs, and motorcycles.
Why the Baja Designs S2 Pro Outperforms Factory Lighting
Factory auxiliary lighting is an afterthought on most vehicles: low-output, narrow beam angles, and housings that degrade under pressure washing, salt, and vibration. The S2 Pro was engineered from the ground up for off-road and overland use where lighting failure is not an option. Two Cree LEDs fire through a hardcoated polycarbonate lens to produce 2,245 lumens, and the Driving/Combo optic splits that output between a tight 9-degree spot for distance and a wider 42-degree arc for near-field obstacle detection, all from a pod small enough to fit a motorcycle fairing.
The hard anodized and powder coated cast aluminum housing in white holds up where plastic and painted steel fall apart. IP69K certification means the pod is waterproof to 9 feet and survives high-pressure washing. IK10 impact compliance and MIL-STD-810G performance testing confirm it handles vibration, thermal shock, dust, and mechanical shock beyond what most off-road routes can deliver. Salt spray certification extends that durability to coastal and winter road environments.
Driving/Combo Beam Pattern
The Driving/Combo pattern is the most versatile configuration in the S2 Pro lineup. The 9-degree spot component concentrates intensity at distance, reaching out into Lighting Zone 3 where your headlights fall short. The 42-degree driving arc fills Zones 1 and 2, keeping the trail directly ahead lit without the blind spots that a pure spot creates. The result is a single pod that functions like a spot and a driving light in parallel, making it the default choice for trail lights, A-pillar mounts, grille bars, and bumper corners where you want usable light across the full frontal arc rather than a single laser-straight beam.
At 5000K daylight color temperature, objects appear in natural contrast rather than the yellow cast of older halogen or HID pods. The hardcoated polycarbonate lens resists UV yellowing, so the color temperature and output stay consistent over the rated 49,930-hour LED life.
White Housing, Race-Grade Construction
The white finish on the S2 Pro is not paint applied over bare aluminum. The housing is cast aluminum that undergoes hard anodizing first, then powder coating. Hard anodizing creates an oxide layer integral to the metal surface, which means it cannot chip, peel, or flake regardless of impact. The powder coat over the top adds UV resistance and the bright white appearance that differentiates this variant from the standard black housing SKUs. Stainless steel mounting hardware is included in the box and will not rust or seize even after seasons of exposure.
Baja Designs designs, engineers, machines, and assembles every S2 Pro light at their 37,000 sq ft facility in San Marcos, California. That USA manufacturing base means quality control is direct and parts availability for warranty service stays domestic.

Wide Voltage Range and Universal Fitment
The S2 Pro operates on 12–36V DC with built-in overvoltage protection, making it compatible with standard 12V automotive systems as well as 24V and 36V systems found on UTVs, larger commercial vehicles, and electric platforms. Because no vehicle-specific bracket is required, the S2 Pro mounts anywhere a standard bracket will attach: bumper bars, A-pillars, roll cages, windshield frames, roof racks, fairings, and handlebar mounts.
Common applications include:
- Off-road trucks and full-size SUVs
- Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator grille and A-pillar mounts
- Side-by-side UTVs and sport ATVs
- Adventure and dual-sport motorcycles
- Ford Bronco and Bronco Raptor auxiliary bar setups

Limited Lifetime Warranty and 30-Day Satisfaction Guarantee
Baja Designs backs every S2 Pro with a Limited Lifetime Warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the product. In addition, the S2 Pro carries Baja Designs’ 30-Day Satisfaction Guarantee, an industry-first policy that allows you to return the light within 30 days if you are not satisfied with the performance, no questions asked.
The S2 Pro also supports Baja Designs’ uService program: lenses and optics are user-replaceable in the field, so a cracked lens does not mean replacing the entire pod. Replacement lenses are available directly from Baja Designs.
About Baja Designs
Baja Designs was founded by off-road racers who needed lighting that could survive the Baja 1000, not a suburban parking lot. Since then, the company has grown into one of the most respected names in performance LED lighting, with products used by professional race teams, military and law enforcement units, and serious off-road enthusiasts worldwide. Every S2 Pro is designed, engineered, machined, and assembled at Baja Designs’ facility in San Marcos, California. That commitment to domestic manufacturing means every pod is built to the same standard as the lights their factory race team runs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the 480003WT come with a wire harness?
No. The wire harness is not included. To power this pod you will need to purchase the Baja Designs wiring harness separately. The compatible harness is Part# 640117. Pair kits (such as 487803) do include a harness, but single-pod SKUs do not.
What is the difference between the Driving/Combo beam and the Spot beam?
The Spot beam (480001WT) concentrates all output into a 9-degree arc for maximum reach at distance. The Driving/Combo beam in the 480003WT combines that same 9-degree spot with a 42-degree driving arc in a single pod, trading some peak throw distance for usable width. If you need a tight, maximum-range pencil beam, choose the Spot. If you want one pod that covers both trail and distance, choose the Driving/Combo.
What is the difference between the white housing (480003WT) and the black housing (480003)?
Both share identical optical output, specs, IP rating, and warranty. The white housing (480003WT) uses the same hard anodized and powder coated cast aluminum construction, just in white instead of black. White housing SKUs are priced slightly higher. Choose based on your vehicle’s aesthetic.
Is this pod waterproof? Can I pressure wash it?
Yes. The S2 Pro carries an IP69K rating, the highest level of water ingress protection. IP69K means the pod is waterproof to 9 feet of submersion and withstands high-pressure, high-temperature wash-down. It is pressure washer safe and designed for vehicles that see river crossings, mud, and regular exterior washing.
What voltage systems does the S2 Pro work with?
The S2 Pro operates on 12–36V DC with built-in overvoltage protection. It is fully compatible with standard 12V trucks and SUVs, 24V diesel and military platforms, and 36V electric off-road vehicles. No voltage converter is required for any of these applications.
How does the S2 Pro mounting bracket attach?
The pod ships with a standard bracket and stainless steel hardware. The bracket accepts common off-road bar clamps, windshield mounts, and bumper hole patterns. It is not a flush-mount design. If you need a flush or recessed mount, the equivalent flush-mount variant is 481003WT.
Is the Baja Designs S2 Pro made in the USA?
Yes. Baja Designs designs, engineers, machines, and assembles S2 Pro lights at their facility at 2950 Norman Strasse Rd, San Marcos, California 92069. Country of origin is United States.
What warranty does the S2 Pro carry?
The S2 Pro is backed by a Baja Designs Limited Lifetime Warranty against defects in materials and workmanship, as well as a 30-Day Satisfaction Guarantee that allows a return within 30 days for any reason. Warranty service is handled directly by Baja Designs.
Can I replace the lens if it gets cracked?
Yes. The S2 Pro is part of the Baja Designs uService program, which means lenses and optics are user-replaceable. Replacement lenses are sold separately by Baja Designs. You do not need to replace the entire pod assembly for a lens crack or optic damage.
What vehicles is the S2 Pro compatible with?
The S2 Pro is a universal product with no vehicle-specific fitment restriction. It is used on trucks, full-size SUVs, Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator, Ford Bronco and Bronco Raptor, UTVs, ATVs, adventure motorcycles, dual-sport bikes, and pre-runner race vehicles. Any application that can accept a standard bracket mount with 12–36V power is compatible.
