The Baja Designs 440082UP is a fog pocket kit for the 2021–2026 Ford Bronco and 2022–2024 Bronco Raptor with the factory steel bumper. It pairs a Squadron 2.0 Pro spot pod, an S2 SAE, and an S2 Pro in driving/combo pattern. The manufacturer rates the Squadron 2.0 Pro at 5,921 lumens on 65W, about 41% more than the prior generation, and adds a nine-color selectable backlight and a 4-pin Deutsch-style connector.
This kit makes sense over stock fog lamps or a single add-on pod if you want long-distance reach and street-legal output together. The S2 SAE is designed to meet SAE J583 fog lamp requirements, while the spot and driving/combo lenses cover far trail sightlines. The Squadron 2.0 uService design keeps lens swaps simple and uses a redesigned gasket for better sealing. Searches for a Bronco steel bumper fog light kit, Squadron 2.0 Pro spot beam, or SAE J583 Bronco fog lights point to exactly this configuration.
Installation is a realistic weekend job for a DIYer with basic hand tools, though it is not quick. The manufacturer's steel-bumper fog pocket instructions call for a 9/16" wrench and socket for the bracket hardware, a T40 bit for the three bolts on the top of each bumper opening, and the included splitter harnesses routed from the driver side outward. Wires should pass through the bumper toward the skid plate and be tied away from heat, sharp edges, and moving parts. Owners on user forums report the T40 bolts can be tight, so avoid power tools on pressed-in hardware.
The manufacturer lists this kit for the factory steel bumper. Plastic-bumper Broncos use separate Squadron and XL kits with their own instruction sheets, so confirm your bumper type before ordering.
The manufacturer states that the S2 SAE meets SAE J583 fog lamp requirements. Compliance for the Squadron 2.0 Pro spot and S2 Pro driving/combo was not confirmed in our research, so check local rules and confirm with the manufacturer before on-road use.
Plan on a moderate-difficulty install. Gather a 9/16" wrench and socket, a T40 bit, zip ties, and electrical tape. Start by removing the three T40 bolts inside each fog opening, seat the light assembly, and reinstall the bolts. Wire the driver side first using the splitter harnesses, and keep the upstream connector on the driver side for the larger splitters. Owners on user forums note the T40 screws can be painted over and stubborn, so use a quality bit and avoid overtightening when reinstalling. Tie all wiring away from hot, sharp, or rotating components.
