The Baja Designs XL80 is a 9,022-lumen LED headlight replacement built with a Motominded mounting bracket for 2024 KTM off-road models. It replaces the factory headlight rather than sitting alongside it. The manufacturer rates the light at 75.9 W and 5.5 A and ships it with a Trail lens pre-installed, aimed at 1st through 4th gear technical singletrack where vertical and horizontal spread matter most. The bracket supports grab-and-aim adjustment so the beam can be set to your riding position.
This kit makes sense over a stock headlight for riders who regularly run after dark, in desert washes, or on late-afternoon enduro loops. The uService lens system lets you change the beam pattern with an additional lens included in the box, so you can tune the light to terrain without buying a second unit. The plug-and-play KTM connector removes the need to splice into the harness, which keeps the upgrade reversible and tidy compared with a generic LED pod zip-tied to the cockpit. Owners on user forums commonly discuss beam pattern and mounting height as the main setup decisions, so plan some time for pitch adjustment after installation.
Searchers looking for a 2024 KTM 350 EXC-F LED headlight kit, a 450 XCF-W night enduro headlight upgrade, or a KTM XL80 trail lens will find this is the base version of the line; harness-equipped variants are sold under separate part numbers. Installation takes place at the bench and is covered in the DIY section below. Confirm fitment against your model year before ordering, because the manufacturer's application listings vary slightly by year.
The manufacturer lists fitment for the 350 EXC-F and 500 EXC-F (2024-2025), the 350 XW-F and 500 XW-F (2024-2025), and the 450 XCF-W (2024-2026). Confirm your exact year before ordering.
The manufacturer sells Hi/Lo harness and dimmer versions under separate part numbers. The dimmer version is rated to dial output between 95% and 20%, so choose the variant that matches how you want to control brightness.
Yes. The manufacturer's install sheet says to re-torque all fasteners after the first 100 miles.
The manufacturer's installation sheet describes a process you can complete at home with basic hand tools: a T30 driver, a T20 driver, a 3mm Allen wrench, and a T25 Torx for the longer-thread fasteners. Start by removing the two T30 bolts holding the headlight mask, then free the clutch cables and unplug the stock headlight. Remove the stock light from its underlying plastic mount by taking out three T20 screws, and set the mask on a non-marring surface. Install the desired lens before assembly, mount the XL80 to the plastic bracket, then reattach the bracket to the mask. Route all wires so they cannot catch when the headlight is refitted, plug the light into the bike's headlight connector, and set the pitch by pushing on the top or bottom of the bezel. Re-torque all fasteners after 100 miles. Details vary across sources, so confirm stator and charging requirements with the manufacturer before installation.
