The Baja Designs XL Trail Lens replacement kit gives XL80 light pod owners a clear, purpose-built optic for swapping out a worn or damaged front lens. The manufacturer says the Trail optic redirects light from the center beam toward near and midfield peripheral areas, which helps with vertical transitions and tight turns in technical terrain. That makes it a better choice than a standard combo lens for slow, tight enduro singletrack, where the combo's center hot spot wastes light, and it costs far less than buying a second light. Choose the clear version for the original output color, or the Baja Amber version for dust and fog.
Fitment is the first thing to check. The manufacturer's dedicated XL Trail Lens page says this optic is made exclusively for the XL80 and is not compatible with XL Sport, XL Pro, or XL Racer models. The general XL lens kit page now also lists XL40 compatibility for the Trail pattern, so confirm your exact light model with the manufacturer before ordering. Each kit includes one lens and one O-ring seal, and the manufacturer's uService design allows the lens to be replaced without voiding the light's warranty.

The manufacturer states the XL Trail Lens is not compatible with XL Sport, XL Pro, or XL Racer models. It is designed for the XL80.
The manufacturer says the uService design lets you replace the lens without voiding the light's warranty.
The manufacturer specifies one replacement lens and one O-ring seal per kit. For a multi-section light bar, the manufacturer notes that each 10-inch section needs its own lens and O-ring.
Per the manufacturer's lens change instructions, start by removing the bolts that secure the front bezel to the light housing, then lift out the old lens and note how it and its O-ring were oriented. On XL lights, the O-ring groove sits in the lens itself, so press the new O-ring firmly and evenly into that groove before seating the lens. The manufacturer recommends snugging the bezel screws only partway until all of them are in, then tightening them evenly. Check the manufacturer's guide for the correct bezel fastener driver for your XL housing before you start, since the guide lists different drivers by series. Keeping the O-ring clean and seated is the key step, because that seal is what protects the light from water and dust.
