The Baja Designs Squadron Sport D/C headlight kit (SKU 557071) is a spot-pattern LED light pod built for Honda CRF250X and CRF450X dirt bikes, and it also covers the 2017-2018 CRF450RX. The box includes the light, a Honda CRF 2/4 mount plate, and a Weather Pac 2-pin connector set, so the lamp and its Honda-specific mounting hardware arrive together. The manufacturer backs the kit with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee and a limited lifetime warranty, which is the main protection to weigh against a cheaper generic light. Its clear-lens spot beam is aimed at riders who want dependable trail visibility after dark.
Before buying, confirm your charging setup. The manufacturer states that an aftermarket stator rewind is required to power this light on CRF250X and CRF450X models from 2004 through 2018, and it sells separate 40W and 90W AC-to-DC conversion kits for those bikes. Baja's A/C Squadron Sport, by contrast, is limited to 2004-07 CRF250X and 2005-07 CRF450X models and is described as needing no stator modifications. Search terms for this kit include CRF250X DC LED headlight upgrade, CRF450X night riding light, CRF450RX headlight kit, and Honda dirt bike stator rewind for lighting.
The manufacturer says an aftermarket stator rewind is required to power this light on CRF250X and CRF450X models from 2004 through 2018. Separate 40W (CRF250X 2004-17) and 90W (CRF450X 2005-18) conversion kits are listed for those bikes.
The manufacturer lists this kit for the 2005-2018 CRF450X only. For 2019-2026 CRF450X bikes, the manufacturer lists a separate Squadron Pro headlight kit (SKU 490051).
The manufacturer's A/C Squadron Sport kit is made for 2004-07 CRF250X and 2005-07 CRF450X models and is described as working without stator modifications. This D/C kit covers a wider year range, but per the manufacturer it requires the stator rewind described above.
The manufacturer publishes an installation sheet for this kit, but I could not retrieve its step-by-step contents, so review that sheet before starting. The kit includes the mount plate and connector set, and the manufacturer's install sheet is the source for the mounting sequence. Plan the stator work as a separate job. For the CRF250X 40W stator conversion, the manufacturer's eight-step instructions call for removing the seat and gas tank/shrouds, unplugging the stator and regulator connectors on the right side of the frame behind the radiator, replacing the voltage regulator, and removing the left stator cover's 8mm bolts. The instructions also warn that the stator mounting bolts can strip, so use a driver that seats well.
