Baja Designs S1 Knuckle Pods Light Kit - Jeep 2018-2026 JL Wrangler/JT Gladiator

When you're picking your way through rock gardens, ledges, and tight technical trails, your headlights can't always follow where you need to look — but your steering knuckles can. The S1 Knuckle Pod™ Light Kit bolts directly to your Jeep's steering knuckles. Mounted low and out of the way of lift kits and aftermarket bumpers, this kit bolts a pair of Baja Designs S1 light pods directly to the steering knuckles using GateKeeper Off-road patented brackets. Where the front tires point, the light goes. Mounted low clear of hoods and aftermarket bumpers, the kit is ideal for slow-speed rock crawling.

Our small-but-mighty single LED light pod, the S1, comes installed with our Trail Lens — an expansion of Baja Designs’ ClearView® optics engineered specifically for slow-speed, technical terrain. At 2,320 raw lumens per light, the S1 with Trail Lens widens both the vertical and horizontal spread of the beam, smoothing out the pattern and dialing in just the right amount of throw for picking your line through rock crawls, off-camber sections, and tight trail obstacles. For Jeep drivers working the trail in low range, that means better near- and mid-field visibility exactly where it matters to navigate tight obstacles on the trail. Every S1 Knuckle Pod light kit is backed by Baja Designs' 30-day satisfaction guarantee and limited lifetime warranty — built to withstand the same abuse as the rest of your rig.

Why Knuckle Pods™?

• Steers with the front wheels: Gives drivers a clear read on tire placement where the A-pillar and hood block the view.
• Under the elements: Low mounting keeps the beam beneath fog, dust, rain, and snow, lighting the ground instead of illuminating haze.
• Plug and Play: Utilizing GateKeeper Off-Road patented bracket, there is no fabrication, no drilling, no guesswork.
• Zone 1 and Zone 6 coverage: Delivers near and mid-field light precisely where slow-speed crawling is needed most.
• Great visibility for spotters: The synced beam shows exactly where the tires are headed, making it easier for a spotter to call the line and confirm placement on tight obstacles.

Choose the right lens color for your application:

Clear: The original performance lens. Our clear lens combined with our 5000k LEDs provides light most similar to daylight, reducing driver fatigue and increasing terrain recognition. 

Baja Amber: This performance-driven lens is specifically designed for off-road driving in challenging conditions such as dust, rain, snow, or fog. The Baja Amber lens minimizes glare, enhancing visibility and significantly improving your driving experience.
