XL Racer Edition High-Speed Off-Road Lights - Baja Designs - Off-Road LED & Laser Lights | Automotive, Jeep, Truck, UTV, ADV, Dirtbike

XL Racer Edition LED Light Pods - Universal

Speed to victory like countless champions before, behind a set of XL Racer Edition LED light pods. It takes a special kind of person to brave the challenges of off-road racing — and a special kind of auxiliary light to keep them going after dark. We designed them with a special spotlight beam pattern and high-speed reflectors. This throws light 40% farther than the XL Pro, helping you see far ahead even at more than 100mph. Long-distance visibility is key for any racer or weekend daredevil. Our XL Racer Edition lights the way for off-road trucks, Jeeps, motorcycles, ATVs, UTVs, and any other vehicle that avoids pavement whenever possible. If you ask the winners of the toughest desert races, most of them will tell you that Baja Designs and the XL Racer Edition played a big role in their victory.

The XL Racer Edition is designed for speed

The XL Racer Edition is last in the lineup and built for driving 100 mph and up, so you’d assume it’s the brightest. It isn’t, but it does throw light the farthest. It makes fewer lumens than both the XL80 and the XL Pro — 2,800 lumens at 45.5 watts — and it throws light roughly 45% farther than the XL Pro, because every watt in it goes toward distance instead of intensity, thanks to the size of the LED die. The beam pattern is thin and narrow. We only sell it with a spot lens, and it shouldn’t be run by itself, because it’s one piece of a larger lighting package for racing.  

Lighting Zone 5 | Racer Edition Spot

The Zone 5 Racer Edition Spot Light is designed for off-road enthusiasts navigating at high speeds or requiring extended visibility. Zone 5 lights feature a tighter pattern than our traditional spots. We recommend ensuring a well-balanced lighting package before adding Zone 5 lights to avoid spotlight separations due to this tighter pattern. 

Lens Pattern: Spot

Placement, Power, Pattern

Zone 5 lights earn their spot at the top of your vehicle. Mounted high, they clear brush, rocks, and other obstructions that would otherwise cut into their throw — and that elevation is exactly what lets them send light thousands of feet down the trail.

That distance comes from a dedicated spot pattern. Zone 5 is spot-only, built with optics engineered specifically for range. A wider lens would work against the entire point of the zone, so we don’t offer one.

Power without control is just glare, though. Because these are your longest-throw, most concentrated beams, save them for when you actually need that reach — running them constantly invites glare through dust and fog, unnecessary power draw, and driver fatigue. Coordinate output with Zones 3 and 4 so Zone 5 doesn’t get overshadowed, but reach for it deliberately, not by default.

This is the zone for search and rescue and any application that demands a powerful, tightly focused beam — precision at distance, not everyday flood coverage.
