The Baja Designs LED Rock Light in red is a single, universal auxiliary light for lighting up wheel wells, the underbody, or the area around a truck, Jeep, or UTV at night. The manufacturer describes these LED lights as waterproof and suitable for mounting virtually anywhere. Its 180 degree optic is meant to light up the cab, engine bay, wheel wells, or any other spot that needs a smooth, bright spread of light. The manufacturer also warns that the rock light can get very hot when used for long periods of time, so mounting location matters for both heat and longevity.
The light is universal, so fitment depends on mounting space and wiring access rather than a year, make, and model. It needs only 12 volt power, and the red wire is positive and the black wire is ground. The manufacturer documents two mounting routes: one uses the included tube mount with a zip tie, and the other drills and taps two M4 x 0.7 holes and uses longer M4 bolts to fasten the unit to the vehicle. Searches for red rock lights, 12V LED rock light install, and Baja Designs off-road wheel well lighting often come from owners looking for a color-specific, low-glare option for camp and trail use.
The manufacturer's instructions state that the red wire is positive and the black wire is ground. Confirm polarity before powering the light.
The manufacturer's first mounting method uses the included tube mount with M4 hardware and a zip tie routed through the channel. The second method requires drilling and tapping two M4 x 0.7 holes.
The manufacturer advises keeping the unit away from anything that could melt or be damaged by heat. Avoid mounting it directly against heat-sensitive plastics or rubber without a spacer.
Installation is a moderate DIY job. The manufacturer's tube-mount method needs only the included M4 hardware, a zip tie, and a 12V connection, while the drill-and-tap method needs a drill and an M4 x 0.7 tap. Plan the lead routing before you tighten anything, keep the wires away from moving parts and sharp edges, and check the heat clearance around the housing before you finalize the mounting spot.
