The Baja Designs LP4 Single Rock Guard in black (SKU 298001) is a protective cover for the LP4 Pro LED auxiliary light pod. The manufacturer says it is engineered to shield your lights from rocks, debris, mud, dust, and other potential hazards, and it is made from durable hard-coated polycarbonate plastic. The guard is sold separately from the light, so it works as a standalone accessory for an LP4 you already run or plan to mount.
The black version suits lights that stay parked. Its face carries the Baja Designs logo, and it protects your lights when they're off. The manufacturer also warns that black rock guards cannot be used while lights are on, so anyone running the LP4 for fog or dust should switch to the clear or Baja Amber guard. The main reason to pay for the Baja piece over a generic cover is cooling: the guard fits snugly without interfering with the light's Direct Ducted Cooling (DDC) technology, so protection does not come at the cost of heat dispersion.
For fitment, the manufacturer lists the application as LP4 and frames the guard as an easy-swap item, so owners searching for LP4 rock guard black, LP4 Pro lens cover, LP4 pod trail protection, or LP4 DDC-compatible light guard can match it to their light. Because the guard is a separate part from the light, a damaged cover can be replaced without touching the lamp itself. The manufacturer describes a secure, snug fit for quick installation.
No. The manufacturer notes that black rock guards cannot be used while lights are on. For lit operation, the manufacturer offers clear and Baja Amber versions instead.
The manufacturer states the guard fits without interfering with the light's Direct Ducted Cooling system, which moves air from the front of the housing to the rear heat sinks.
The manufacturer describes this guard as designed for easy installation and removal, with a snug fit, so it is a low-effort job compared with mounting the light itself. Its published materials do not spell out a tool list or step-by-step for the guard, so check the manufacturer's current instructions before fitting. The main gotcha is operational: remove the black guard before switching the lights on, or the logo face will block the output.
