GEN 2 Baja Designs SAE Compliant Replacement Lens

[okieff218]

Has anyone else gotten these new lenses to make the Squadron SAE fogs compliant? I’m wondering how they affect light output because I’m not going to change mine out if it’s substantial. They’re kind of funky looking. Not sure if I like the look.

Well that’s killing two birds with one stone, reducing total output and defining the cutoff sharply. I “see” what you mean about the looks, but once you mount them it won’t be “apparent”. My complaint is the price differential between the SAE and the Squadron Sport still because it appears to be the same light, just with a different lens. Maybe I’m wrong.

Let us know how they work if you swap them
out.

I can tell you one difference that is obvious after you take the lens off. The SAE has some internals that look similar to magnifying glasses. The regular Squadron Pros have the reflectors.

I'm going to be trying to crazy "Frankenstein" experiments with my own truck once the new SAE shipments arrive to us (any day now)

Not a fan of the look. Looks like it’s going to cut output to me.

That looks like it's going to kill 50%+ of the light. Not excited as I have two pairs of these on order (and didn't know about the issues at all when I ordered).

Do you know if the new ones have this kind of lens? Have you seen them?

All new Squadron SAE shipping have the new lens setup so that they are compliant.

I’m probably just going to leave mine the way they are now and not use the new lenses. I’ve never had an oncoming car flash their lights at me.

Oh ok. I wasn’t sure if this was just a fix for the old ones that were noncompliant, or if the new ones were like this too.
