Chase Lights – Why are they Important?

At Baja Designs our products are not only for performance, but also safety. While an effective forward-projecting lighting package is so you can see where you're going, chase lights allow others to see you. Adding a chase light allows for visibility in the rear when encountering dust or harsh conditions so your vehicle can be easily seen by groups behind you. The chase light often gets overlooked as the last piece to the puzzle for most lighting packages, however, a chase light should be one of the first light modifications you should consider when building an effective lighting package for your offroad vehicle. The Best Lens Pattern for a Chase Light? To not blind the drivers behind you, it is essential to diffuse the light emitting from your chase light as much as possible. This makes it easier for drivers to spot your position on the trail. Our S2 Sport Universal Chase Light Kit comes standard with our Work/Scene lens pattern in Baja Amber. This allows for an extremely smooth light near the vehicle, offering a “marker” type light without disturbing the driving abilities of other drivers on the trail.  Enthusiasts can also use our wide cornering lens pattern in baja amber, which will act to illuminate behind your vehicle, much the same as a reverse light. The Best Lens Color for a Chase Light? For optimal performance in dust, snow, or fog, our baja amber is the preferred lens color of choice. While red, green, or blue lenses can be used, they are generally used for race applications only. Amber light is universally recognized as a caution light, making our Baja Amber lenses a great option for your chase light. Baja amber effectively cuts through dust and inclement weather, improving visibility in challenging conditions.  Changing Lens Patterns is as easy as uService With Baja Designs uService Technology, your chase light doesn't have to stay a chase light forever. You can easily swap the lens pattern or color (with the exception of the RTL), allowing you to reposition the light anywhere on your vehicle without needing to purchase a new one. Plus, if you already have a forward-facing Baja Designs light, you can simply buy the appropriate lens and convert it into a chase light.RTL - Rear Tail LightBorn out of necessity, the RTL is a race bred chase light built for the rigors of racing Baja where dust can blind vehicles. Being the "Scientists of Lighting", we set out to create a chase light bar that would be brighter and safer for off-road racers, thus our Rear Tail Light, or RTL was born. The Baja Designs RTL Chase Light has been must-have for any serious off-road racer since its introduction, offering unmatched safety, visibility, and functionality in challenging conditions such as Baja. Designed specifically for rugged terrain, the RTL Chase Light bar provides powerful rear lighting that enhances visibility through dust, fog, and darkness—critical for maintaining safe distances during high-speed desert runs or trail rides. With integrated features like brake lights, turn signals, and running lights, this Baja Designs chase light ensures you're not only seen but clearly understood on the trail. Whether you're racing or recreationally exploring, the durability and performance of a Baja Designs RTL make it an essential upgrade for any off-road vehicle.The RTL series of rear LED light bars has many uses on a vehicle. These bars can function as off-road brake lights, running lights, cargo lights, or license plate lights. The original RTL light bar is a 30-inch long fixture with several practical variations. With the various options to meet race-legal rear taillight requirements in the RTL-B and RTL-G ensuring visibility on the racecourse, you can confidently take the lead knowing that you’re easily visible to others. This all-inclusive kit comprises the selected RTL bar and mounting hardware for simple installation, ensuring your setup is trail-ready. The benefits of an RTL include Enhanced Safety – providing improved visibility in dusty and foggy conditions – and Durability – crafted to endure the challenges of off-road driving.  It comes down to one word - Safety If you're looking for a simple, compact chase light setup, the S2 Sport Universal Chase Light Kit will provide an extra layer of safety without breaking the bank. The Squadron light, though slightly more expensive, offers great versatility in various applications and mounting positions. Its increased intensity and power enable it to serve as a chase, cargo, and scene light all in one. The RTL is our premium option, offering additional features like brake, reverse, and chase functions, unlike the basic on/off function of traditional auxiliary lights. No matter which setup you choose, one thing is certain: safety comes first when off-roading, and regardless of your budget, we have a trusted solution for you.

Vehicle Spotlight: Art Eugenio Jr. 1994 Ford Bronco OBS

If you ask most photographers in off-road desert racing how they got started, many will tell you the same thing: they dreamed of racing, but couldn't afford it. The next best thing? Capturing it through the lens. That's how Art Eugenio Jr.—better known as Get Some Photo—built his storied 25-year career shooting desert racing in Baja and the U.S. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PJh5PAxNgg&t=170s While he spent decades on the sidelines capturing victories, defeats, and everything in between, Art never let go of his dream to race. Now, that dream is becoming reality. In 2025, he'll line up at the start of the NORRA Mexican 1000 behind the wheel of his freshly built 1994 Ford Bronco, racing in the Prerunner class. Art originally bought the Bronco from ESPN broadcaster Bob Bower over a decade ago. It started with a simple Rancho lift kit and served as his daily driver and vehicle to go scout photo locations for races in Baja. Over the years, it evolved—getting upgrades after every trip, little by little. The idea to race it goes back to 2012, when Art chased the NORRA Mexican 1000 with a friend and brought along his dad, a former Class 5 racer. That trip sparked a plan to build the Bronco and race Baja together. Sadly, Art's father passed away in 2014 before they could make it happen. Now, over a decade later, the Bronco is finally finished—his dad's name is proudly displayed on the door with his ashes on the dash. It's more than a race truck—it's a tribute. If you're a Bronco nerd, you'll notice the front clip is from an earlier model. That's intentional. After the truck was damaged in a shop accident, Art chose to "backdate" it with a 1990-style brick nose and slant hood. It not only improves visibility but also nods to the Class 8 trucks of the '80s and '90s. Underneath, the Bronco runs a stock-width long-travel Twin Traction Beam setup from Desolate Motorsports with King 3.0 internal bypass shocks and a custom swing set steering system. Out back, it's equipped with custom leaf springs, King 3.0 triple bypasses, and a Desolate sway bar. A fun detail is a mudflap that is hose clamped on the shock to protect the shock shafts from getting pitted from rocks, just another clever way to improvise in Baja. Lighting is handled by two Baja Designs LP9 Pros and a 20" OnX6+ light bar in amber up front—more than enough to keep things lit in the dust and fog. As Art puts it: "If you need more light than this, you're probably driving too fast at night." Out back is one of the wildest and most ridiculous chase lights we've seen—a 40" OnX6 dual-control bar in amber and white. It's fully integrated with his sPOD BantamX system, allowing Art to dim or strobe the rear lights for visibility in thick dust—just in case a Trophy Truck is barreling down behind him after having a slow early start trying to make up time. The Bronco sits on Raceline Ryno Beadlock wheels wrapped in 35-inch BF Goodrich KDR3 + tires that were developed for Rally Raid and Dakar. I'd be willing to bet these tires have never been mounted up to a 1994 Ford Bronco before but can usually be seen on cars like the 2025 Ford Raptor T1+. Either way, they look awesome. The interior is just as dialed. A Solo Motorsports roll cage was the foundation, later integrated into the chassis to meet NORRA's safety standards. Inside are three PRP Podium seats, PRP harnesses, a PRP steering wheel, and essential communications. Storage for spare parts, spare tire GPS system, and everything you would typically see in a race car. Art's journey from photographer to racer is a reminder that there's more than one way to be part of off-road racing. After years on the sidelines, he's finally getting the chance to live out a dream he's carried for decades. With the Bronco built and his dad's name on the door, he's heading to Baja not just to shoot the action—but to be part of it in his own Bronco racing his own race. The 2025 Mexican NORRA Mexican 1000 starts in Ensenada on April 26 in Ensenada with 6 days of racing ending in San José del Cabo with a combined race course of over 1300 miles.

S1 Trail Lens

If you ride dual-sport, enduro, or anything that keeps you in 1st through 3rd gear, you already know how critical good lighting is. That’s exactly why we developed the new Baja Designs S1 Trail Lens. This isn’t just a new lens pattern designed specifically for the S1 light. It’s a targeted solution for riders who ride slower, more technical trails  — giving you light exactly right where you need it - optimizing a light beam pattern with both vertical and horizontal light spread. Let’s break down what it does, and why it might be worth upgrading your current S1 setup. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCC-k_-thDk Why the S1? The Baja Designs S1 is our smallest light pod, but don’t let its size fool you. It puts out 2,320 raw lumens using just 20 watts, making it incredibly efficient for how much light it throws. We’ve always designed the S1 to be versatile — it works great as a driving light, ditch light, chase light, or even mounted to racks or bumpers. And with multiple lens patterns thanks to our ClearView™ technology like Spot, Wide Cornering, and Work Scene, it covers a lot of ground. But for the rider who spends most of their time on tight trails or navigating steep climbs and switchbacks — we knew we could do better. With countless miles on the trail and with the ever-expanding moto-specific lighting solutions with the S1. Introducing the Trail Lens The S1 Trail Lens is a brand-new beam pattern designed with enduro and technical trail riding in mind. Think: 1st through 2nd gear trail riding, rocky switchbacks, tree cover, elevation changes — the places where your standard beam might fall short because of the lack of a vertical spread. This lens expands on our ClearView™ technology by combining vertical and horizontal spread into a single pattern. This gives you more light not just in front of the bike but also into dips, valleys, and around corners—exactly where your eyes (and your front tire) need to go next. SHOP S1 with TRAIL LENS How It’s Different If you're already running a Wide Cornering lens, you might be wondering what sets the Trail Lens apart. The biggest difference? Vertical spread. Wide Cornering throws a nice beam side-to-side, but it’s fairly flat. When you're leaning into a corner or cresting a ridge, you can lose some of that light where you actually need it — down low and up ahead. The Trail Lens fixes that with a taller beam, helping you see more of the trail at crucial angles. Clear vs. Baja Amber — Which Should You Choose? Just like our other S1 options, the Trail Lens Kit is available in both Clear and Baja Amber. This offers uService to current S1 users the ability to switch out their lens and experience the difference. Clear: Maximum brightness and distance. Baja Amber: Slightly reduced output (approximately ~15%), but improved visibility in dust, fog, and low-contrast environments. SHOP S1 TRAIL LENS REPLACEMENT KIT S1 Trail Lens We developed the Trail Lens because we ride the same trails you do — and we know how frustrating it is when your light doesn’t hit where it should. Through testing, trail riding, and real-world rider feedback, we engineered a solution that gives you more usable light exactly where you need it. If you already have an S1 on your bike, this is a no-brainer upgrade for technical terrain. If you're new to the S1 altogether, now’s a great time to see what this compact powerhouse can really do — especially with a beam pattern designed specifically for Moto.

Richard Nuno

"Excellent light pattern and installed right into factory location no modification needed"

Colton Cook

"I love all my Baja Designs products and expect only the best in both quality and output, and you guys deliver every time on all fronts. Keep up the great work!"

"I have a 20in on my truck and a 30in on my razor. Both are very bright and reliable. They are well built, and I think they will last a long time."

Kirk Wilkerson

"Great product. Light color is far easier on the eyes than previous products purchased. This Light will be put to the test in temperatures from +30*C to -45*C, rain, mud, snow & ice in the god forsaken oilfield land of Wabasca Alberta."

Daniel Szever

"Just got them mounted and they are SUPER BRIGHT!"

Kenneth Leake

"BD lights are the best I’ve seen from both a build and performance aspect. I have three ON-X light bars on my boat, and they have performed beyond expectations. Recently, I noticed that my 30" light bar was only illuminating one of four sections, and after contacting BD and troubleshooting the issue with the tech department, it was determined to be unserviceable. After presenting my original purchase receipt, a new light bar was sent out and delivered in a very short time period. I am excited to get this mounted and look forward to many more years of service with BD lights. Thank You."

Mark Rigsby

"Fantastic company and products. Highly rated. And your customer service is second to none!"

Bryon Mayo

"Love BD. Product is well made, and lights are bright. Packaging is great with extra work to conceal contents."

Jorge Araujo

"Best decision ever made. I do most of my writing at nighttime, so this has been a godsend."

Christian Tomblin

"Absolutely love these lights, I have 3 sets of Squadrons and they are amazing. Worth every penny"
