    I've known about this program for a while now. I have the older SAE fog lights and will be looking at doing this soon. Anyone upgrade theirs? Any tips? Did the exchange go smooth? Looks like the cost to ship in is on the owner and then BD is covering s/h sending it back? Thanks ahead of time.

    I did, it went fine, new pattern is much more concentrated to the SAE pattern with less glare/unaimed light.

    What is it, just a lens change?

    Lens is different, and the internal board is swapped as well. Much more powerful than the first generation SAE Squadron.

    Gotcha, I figured it was more than just the lens.
    I went with the non-sae version and don’t use them in traffic for that reason.
