S1 Knuckle Pod™ Light Kits for Jeep JL/JT/JK/TJ/YJ Wrangler and XJ/ZJ Cherokee/Grand Cherokee
Baja Designs is proud to announce the availability of the S1 Knuckle Pod™ Light Kit, the newest addition to Jeep vehicle-specific lighting solutions. The kit bolts a pair of Baja Designs S1 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.
Each S1 is paired with the Trail Lens, an expansion of Baja Designs’ ClearView optics engineered for technical terrain, producing 2,320 lumens per light with vertical and horizontal spread and just enough throw for slow-speed technical rock crawling.
The kit spans four decades of Jeep platforms, from the JL Wrangler and JT Gladiator to the JK Wrangler and TJ/YJ Wrangler and XJ/ZJ Cherokee, each available in Clear or Baja Amber Trail Lens
Please Note: Knuckle Pod kits only work on OEM axles.

Why Knuckle Pods?
Empty heading
- 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.
THE TRAIL LENS ADVANTAGE
- ClearView™ technology: Combines vertical and horizontal spread in a single optic, lighting not just ahead but into dips, valleys, and around corners.
- Taller beam for changing terrain: Holds light through ridge crests and obstacle flex, where vertical light is needed for.
- Covers the blind spot: Mounted low on a steerable knuckle bracket, covering ground that bumper and A-pillar lighting can’t reach on their own.
- Two lens options: Clear for max brightness, or Baja Amber for better visibility in dust, fog, and low-contrast conditions.
