The Baja Designs Squadron 2.0 Pro A-Pillar kit mounts two compact LED pods on the A-pillars of the 2025–2026 Toyota 4Runner in a clear-lens Driving/Combo pattern. The manufacturer calls the Squadron 2.0 Pro the next evolution of its compact LED light pod, rebuilt with a modern housing, advanced optics, and 5,921 lumens at 65W. The manufacturer says that is 41% more performance than the previous generation, with a longer, wider, cleaner beam and less spill.
Against the Squadron 2.0 Sport, which the manufacturer rates at 3,200 lumens at 30W, the Pro delivers roughly 85% more light for long night trail runs. Durability upgrades matter for A-pillar mounting: the manufacturer describes improved uService with clip-in reflectors that won't fall out, a new lens gasket that seals better, and a 4-pin Deutsch-style connector on the harness. A 9-color selectable backlight lets owners match their rig's styling.
For fitment, the manufacturer's vehicle page lists Squadron Pro A-pillar kits for the 4Runner in all configurations. Installation is covered by the manufacturer's install sheet for 2025-on 4Runner A-pillar kits, which walks through routing the switch leads across the firewall and pulling trim for a toggle harness. User forums note these lights are not DOT approved, so check local rules before running them on public roads. Search terms this kit targets include 2025 4Runner A-pillar ditch lights, Squadron 2.0 Pro driving combo clear, and 6th gen 4Runner auxiliary lighting.
The manufacturer lists its Squadron Pro A-pillar kits for the 4Runner in all configurations, so the kit is not limited to one trim. Confirm your vehicle details with the manufacturer before ordering.
User forums report that Squadron Pro lights are not DOT approved, and owners say the Pro output is very bright for oncoming traffic. Check your local regulations before using them on the street.
Per the manufacturer's install sheet for 2025-on 4Runner A-pillar kits, the toggle harness route involves passing the switch lead through the firewall passthrough and removing the driver-side door seal and round trim panel.
This is a multi-step job rather than a bolt-on. The manufacturer's install sheet for 2025-on 4Runner A-pillar kits covers routing the light leads, plugging them in, and running the switch leads across the firewall into the cabin. Plan on removing the driver-side door seal and trim panel for the toggle harness, and expect to connect the supplied backlight add-on harness. Confirm the full tool list on the install sheet before you start, since it was not captured during research. Pay attention to the firewall passthrough, since a small hole there must be sealed well to keep water out of the cabin.
