The E-Ride Pro SS is a capable, hard-charging electric dirt bike — and like its rivals, it's let down after dark by a dim stock headlight. If you ride your Pro SS at dawn, dusk or night, an E-Ride Pro SS headlight upgrade is the highest-value modification you can make. This guide covers the best genuine Baja Designs kits for the Pro SS, how they compare, exactly how they fit, and how to install one in about 20 minutes.
Why the stock E-Ride Pro SS headlight falls short
The factory light has three weaknesses: low lumen output that can't keep up with trail speed, a flat beam pattern that floods the front wheel instead of throwing light down the trail, and a color temperature that washes out terrain detail. Together they force riders to slow down at night — not a bike limitation, a lighting one.
A genuine Baja Designs light corrects all three. Race-proven optics, CopperDrive LEDs at 100% output and 5000K daylight color deliver a usable, far-reaching beam that makes ruts, rocks and roots easy to read — so you can ride the Pro SS at its real pace after sunset.
The best E-Ride Pro SS headlight upgrades, ranked
Every kit ships prewired and plug-and-play for the E-Ride Pro, with the correct connector, harness, switch, bracket and hardware — no splicing.
- Best value — Baja Designs S2 Sport (Prewired): ~1,581 lumens, compact, driving/spot combo — the rider favorite.
- Best performance — Baja Designs S2 Pro (Prewired): ~2,245 lumens with driving/spot combo optics for faster nights.
- Maximum output — Baja Designs XL80: a larger pod for the brightest, longest reach.
E-Ride Pro SS headlight kits compared
| Kit | Output | Beam | Best for | Install |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| S2 Sport | ~1,581 lm | Driving/spot combo | Best value; trail & commute | Prewired |
| S2 Pro | ~2,245 lm | Driving/spot combo | Faster trail & desert | Prewired |
| XL80 | Max output | Long reach + flood | Maximum brightness | Prewired |
Most Pro SS riders should start with the S2 Sport; choose the S2 Pro for faster night riding. See the best E-Ride Pro headlight overview, the E-Ride Pro lighting upgrades guide, and the Baja Designs Buyer's Guide.
Clear vs amber lens
Both S2 kits include a spare lens. Run clear (5000K) for daylight-like color and the best terrain recognition; switch to amber for dust, fog, rain and snow to cut glare and boost contrast. No tools required to swap.
Does it fit the E-Ride Pro SS? (Real fitment)
Yes. Our prewired kits are built for the E-Ride Pro family — Pro SS, Pro SS 2.0, Pro SS 3.0 and Pro SR — and ship with the correct connector. Select your E-Ride Pro model at checkout; the kit mounts at the factory headlight location with the included bracket and hardware. Running a non-standard front end? Email support@elektrischesracing.com and we'll confirm the right bracket. We only publish fitment we can verify.
How to install (about 20 minutes)
- Disconnect the battery.
- Remove the stock headlight and bracket.
- Mount the Baja Designs bracket at the factory location.
- Route the prewired harness and plug into the E-Ride Pro connector.
- Mount the switch, reconnect the battery and aim the beam.
