The Baja Designs 448202 is the base RTL rear marker light kit for the 2024–2026 Can-Am Maverick R. It adds a rear light bar intended to make the UTV easier to spot from behind on trails. The kit ships with the RTL light bar, a wiring harness, a tail-light splice adapter harness, and the mounting hardware. The manufacturer states it will not work with the Maverick R roof scoop option, so confirm your roof setup before ordering.
Stock rear lighting leaves little to prevent a trail rider from disappearing in a dust cloud, and a dedicated marker bar addresses that gap. Baja Designs positions the bar's light as one that remains readable through airborne dust, which is the real-world reason to pay for a purpose-built kit over a generic LED. If you need a different look or function, the manufacturer also offers the RTL-B, which swaps the center to blue with a flashing amber effect, and the RTL-S (part 448207), whose amber sections can act as turn signals on public roads when paired with an external flasher or an sPOD-style switch panel.
Installation is a multi-step project that the manufacturer documents in a dedicated install sheet. You mount the bar through the highlighted holes on the chassis using nyloc hardware, route the leads from the cockpit side of the firewall, and splice into the tail-light circuit with the supplied adapter. The sheet lists 10mm, 13mm, 18mm and 7/16-inch sockets, 7/16, 5/8 and 13mm wrenches, and a 3/4-inch drill bit, so gather those before starting this Maverick R rear light upgrade.
No. The manufacturer states that this kit will not work with the Maverick R roof scoop option, so verify your roof configuration before purchasing.
The manufacturer describes the RTL-S (part 448207) as having amber sections that can be controlled individually or configured as turn signals for on-road driving when paired with an external flasher or an sPOD/similar switch panel. The base RTL kit does not include turn signal function.
Per the manufacturer's kit listing, the RTL setup includes one RTL light bar, one wiring harness, one splice adapter harness, and all necessary hardware.
The manufacturer's install sheet covers this kit with a numbered, multi-step procedure rather than a quick bolt-on. Park on level ground with the parking brake set and disconnect the battery before starting. Mount the light bar into the highlighted chassis holes, centering it before tightening the nyloc nuts, and use washers on both sides as the sheet directs. Route the RTL leads from the cockpit side of the firewall, match the lead colors to the light bar connectors, and connect the harness to the splice adapter at the tail light. Plan for the 3/4-inch drill bit step and budget extra time for wire routing and the splice, since those are where errors are most likely to happen. Confirm all connections and secure the harness with the supplied zip ties before reinstalling any trim.
