The Baja Designs S2 Pro 480001 is a compact spot-pattern LED auxiliary pod with a clear hardcoated polycarbonate lens set into a black, hard-anodized and powder-coated cast aluminum housing. The manufacturer lists it as IP69K, rated for waterproofing up to 9 feet and pressure washing. Its small 3-by-2-inch footprint suits tight mounting locations where larger lights simply won't fit.
Compared with stock or a cheap no-name pod, the case rests on sealing and electrical efficiency. The manufacturer's data sheet lists a 24W / 1.7A draw, and the manufacturer rates LED life at 49,930 hours. When one owner on user forums planned a switched circuit for two of these pods, he compared their combined 1.7-amp draw against the rating of the switch. Spot-pattern output is best used for distance down a trail or road, which is the reason to pick this pattern over a wide flood.
The 480001 is listed by the manufacturer as a universal S2 Pro black auxiliary light pod, so fit depends on your bracket and mounting location, not a vehicle-specific kit. The manufacturer's listing for the white-housed version shows no wiring harness included, so plan for a harness and switch separately. Searches for S2 Pro spot pod, IP69K auxiliary light, 1.7 amp LED pod wiring, and upfitter switch setup will lead to the same practical steps covered below.
The manufacturer's listing for the white-housed twin (480001WT) shows no wiring harness included. Confirm with the manufacturer for this black SKU before ordering, and budget for a harness and switch separately.
The manufacturer's data sheet lists 1.7 amps for the S2 Pro pod family, which is the figure to use when sizing a fuse and switch.
The manufacturer lists the S2 Pro black pod as a universal auxiliary light, so fitment depends on your mounting bracket and location rather than a model-specific kit.
Installation is a manageable weekend job for a home mechanic. The manufacturer's S2 Pro install guide for a Jeep lists an installation time under one hour and requires only an Allen wrench plus a wiring harness, which is not supplied. Per that guide, slide a split washer onto the side bolts before attaching the mount, tighten the bolts with the Allen wrench, and connect the supplied quick connect to your harness. One owner on user forums recommends attaching the light to its bracket before bolting the assembly to the vehicle. Another found a solid frame or bumper bolt for the ground, since the light needs a good ground to complete the circuit. Owners on user forums also suggest leaving heat shrink on connectors and taping them for a more watertight splice.
