We lit up a Mercedes Sprinter camper van with Baja Designs — two LP9 spot lights hidden-mounted in the grille and two LP4 flood lights in the rear, all wired to a dash button. Serious trail lighting front and back, mounted clean with no cutting, controlled from the driver's seat.
This Sprinter came through Juggernaut USA in Wheat Ridge (Denver), CO for a lighting setup. On a van you take down dark forest roads to camp, real lighting matters — both to see ahead and to light up camp behind you. We used a Van Compass hidden light mount so the front LP9s tuck into the grille without cutting the bumper, added LP4 floods in the rear, and wired everything to a proper dash button.

Hidden LP9s up front
The Van Compass mount tucks two Baja Designs LP9 spot lights into the Sprinter's grille — no cutting the bumper, no drilling the body. The LP9 is a serious long-range light, so the van can actually see down a dark road, and mounted this way it looks factory-clean during the day.
Rear floods and clean wiring
Out back, two Baja Designs LP4 flood lights light up camp and reversing — exactly what you want when you are backing a van into a spot after dark. Everything is wired to a proper dash button, fused and routed clean, so it all works reliably from the driver's seat. On a van, a tidy install matters as much as the lights themselves.
Common questions on this build
Can you add lights to a Sprinter without cutting it?
Yes — a hidden mount like the Van Compass one tucks the lights into the grille using existing points, so there is no cutting the bumper or drilling the body.
Do you also make armor for the Sprinter?
We do. When you are ready to protect the underside, we make aluminum skid plates and a Sprinter catalytic converter guard in-house.
Can you wire lights on my van?
Yes — front, rear, ditch, and interior lighting, wired clean to a switch. We do it in-house.
