    For another $40, BD and their interchangeable lenses is having me lean towards BD vs DD.

    What are your guys’ take? Install for DD seems like the bracket causes the fogs to move unless if you zip tie.

    What about BD for those who have it?
    How is installation?

    I have the DD Pros in amber and they are fantastic, i did zip tie the brackets to reduce shake but that was super easy. Id recommend them for sure.

    For those who have Squadron Pros, is the LED housing Squadron Pro or is it Squadron Sport (when changing lens)? Does anyone have photos of their Squadron Pro without the lens?

    I have BD squadron pro's on my mounted on my front bumper, removal of 4 screws will allow you to take out the lens to be swapped with any other light pattern they offer. This is one of they reasons I have only ran BD lights on my Tundra and my prevoius Tundra's. The quality is A+

    Thanks for the suggestion man! I’ve been reading up on DD SS3 pro and BD Squadron Pro...

    But a lot of people are saying that the SS3 pro are probably the best in the market aside from mounting complications.

    If you’re using them as actual fog lights, DD all day every day. BD can’t even compete. Squadron pros are just a combo light. You’re wasting your time and money if you aren’t mounting them higher than the bumper, where they should be.

    I have BD XL80's mounted up on my a-pillar, so no room for them up top, I just enjoy the solid quality product they produce, and they look great! The customer service they provide is A+, and trust me when I turn them on I see NO waste in time and money, either way you go enjoy!

    BD SAE pattern is a joke with a bandaid.

    If you want SAE compliant fogs, DD all the way.
