Baja Designs LP6

Type: DOT LED Headlight (complete replacement)

Model: LP6 DOT

Manufacturer: Baja Designs

Product Page: LP6 Pair Driving/Combo LED

Installation Guide: Baja Designs LP6 DOT Wiring

Quantity: 2 (left and right)

Mounting: Factory headlight buckets

Power Source: Command Touch CT4 SW3/SW4

Pin Configuration (Deutsch DT06-4S connector, IP68)

Pin Function Connection Wire Gauge Current Ampacity @60°C Utilization
1 Low Beam CT4 SW3 14 AWG 3.6A 20A 18%
2 Ground Chassis 14 AWG - - -
3 DRL PMU Out 23 16 AWG 0.8A 13A 6%
4 High Beam CT4 SW4 14 AWG 5.6A 20A 28%

Low Beam

  • Control: Pull CT4 lever (latching on/off)
  • Power: START battery (40A) → CT4 → SW3 output (10A internal fusing)
  • Disabled: When ignition off (via ignition signal)
  • Load: 3.6A total (both lights in parallel)

High Beam

  • Control: Push CT4 lever (momentary or latching - programmable)
  • Power: START battery (40A) → CT4 → SW4 output (10A internal fusing)
  • Mutual Exclusivity: CT4 automatically disables low beam when high beam activates
  • Disabled: When ignition off
  • Load: 5.6A total (both lights in parallel)

DRL (Daytime Running Light)

  • Power: PMU Out 23 (shared with Maxbilt tail markers)
  • Auto-Off Logic: PMU disables DRL when CT4 SW3 activates headlights
  • Control: Automatic with ignition (on when ignition on, off when headlights or ignition off)
  • Load: 0.8A total
  • See DRL/Parking Lights for complete circuit details

Outstanding Items

📋 Medium (2)

  • Front turn signal LED marker part selection (#153) — The turn-signals page documents front amber LED turn signals (qty 2, fender-mounted, ~0.8" × 0.8" × 1.1" envelope, CT4 SW1/SW2) with Part #: N/A. No part number exists anywhere in the docs and there is no purchase-tracker row — the wiring will be complete with no physical light to connect.
  • Dome light rear-seat override: isolation needed to prevent backfeed into SwitchPros OUTPUT-4 (#148) — The rear-seat override wires the KC #6337 bracket switch in parallel with SwitchPros OUTPUT-4, fed from a 12V CONSTANT tap, with no isolation. Consequences as drawn: dome lights stay energized via the constant tap regardless of OUTPUT-4 state, and constant voltage is injected into the de-energized SP-1200 output.

Build Tasks

  • Plan wire routing from CT4 to headlight buckets (engine bay, 14 AWG)
  • Verify headlight aim after installation (LP6 DOT is compliant, just needs aiming)
