    Is anyone with the SAE getting flashed by others like crazy? I hate blinding others on the road. Is there some sort of cure to this? I'm past the 30 day refund period and because of covid I haven't been on the road much to test them. And these things arent cheap. I wonder if there is a replacement lens that'll cut off the glare? (It lights street signs from afar). Thank you.

    Hi Sbx22,

    Our Squadron SAE is designed with light spillage to provide a better overall spread and a smooth upward beam transition. We did perform an update to the lens which incorporated an insert that increased the cut-off and brought it back to SAE guidelines earlier this year. When was your kit purchased? Is your Tacoma stock in regards to suspension? There is adjustment in that kit with the rubber EPDM pieces and the stainless steel brackets. Can you try to adjust the beam downwards? Feel free to PM me pictures of your kit installed and I can review it to ensure everything is installed correctly.
