Yes, the LP4s do come with the backlighting.

Thank you so much for confirming.

Last question is. With upfitter wiring, I can wire low/high/back light to different OEM aux switches.
It would be safe to turn both low and high on at the same time?

I read it was not safe earlier.
Just to add to the info that Brandon gave. This is what worked for me to wire BD lights to the aux switches. It required a 5-pin relay between the aux switches and the BD lights. Aux 1 or 2 to pin 30, 87a to low beam, aux 3 or 4 to pin 86, 87 to high beam, and 85 to ground. You'll need to energize both buttons to get high beams but won't be sending power to both the high and low beam at the same time with this setup. I recommend aux 3 or 4 as they're lower amperage than aux1/2, and you're simply using 3 or 4 as the relay trigger to switch power to the high beam. This saves the second more powerful aux button for something else.

Alternatively, I'm using a jumper wire from the jeep led headlights high beam wire to pin 86 to trigger my BD high beams. This saves an aux switch.

I'm considering using a two relay system so the BD lights are only on with the main headlight high beams and then use the aux switches to toggle between low and high on the BD lights. This way I can just use the left steering wheel arm to quickly toggle the BD lights on and off with out having to fumble for the aux switches. Ask me why I had to buy covers for my Lp9s ;)

I ordered a set of the new Squadron SAE's and a set of S2 Pros on March 11th. Order number 129738. I just received the S2's yesterday, and that got me wondering. Is there any estimated time frame that you could provide for when I might get my grubby little hands on your sexy new lights?

Thanks Brandon!

Hey @Headbarcode, We are all hands on deck here working on getting the new SAE lights built up. For orders placed on the lights release, (Post March 1st) there is a 10 week lead time and may experience further delays. Hope this helps give you an idea.
Best,
Brandon

Was just curious, so thought I'd use it as an excuse to take advantage of your thread.

The S2 Pros look awesome and feel like real deal quality in the hands. Can't say that I'm surprised, as I've become accustomed to the BD experience. I'm sure that the Squadron SAE's will follow suit, so it's well worth the wait.

Thanks Brandon!

BD, have a recommendation? I drive my JLU w/stock LED lights on night forest service roads/trails a lot and need more wide cornering coverage to better see very sharp turns, drops offs, etc. The useable space on my front bumper is limited to pre-fab mounts on the bull bar. The BD products I am looking at are 1) Onx6 10" bar with wide cornering lens; 2) squadron pros for a-pillars with driving combo lenses; or 3) LP4s with IPT deflectors on a-pillars. For my needs the lows send out enough light forward, I just can't stand not seeing where I am turning on those roads. I suspect both Onx6 and a-pillar lights are overkill, but could be convinced otherwise. Any suggestions?

As an aside and recommendation comment. A friend in our local club got a pair of "knock off" LP6s from Amazon. He convinced me to give them a try as well, as they were "only $65 CAD each".

I regret that purchase.

  1. Did not come with any documentation, be it installation or current/draw/power usage.
  2. It did not come with any wiring harness
  3. The wiring is 18 gauge, and I'm a little shocked that the leads aren't 16 or 12. I'll be keeping an eye on them, just in case.
  4. Because of the lack of a harness, I had to build one up myself. Not fun in sub-zero temps (celsius), and I fumbled at least three splices and a couple of other issues (missing/lost supplies) meant an hour or so of work stretched to two days.
  5. Because of the extra work, time, and supplies based on my salary, I saved zero, spending "only" $65/light.
So, LP6 lamps are on my wish list and saving up for them.

I know you didn't ask me, but I've added multiple BD lights to my Jeep that all cover different purposes. I personally recommend a set of Squadrons with wide cornering lenses mounted in front of the a-pillars. I have mine angled about 45° outward and slightly down to serve as flank/ditch lighting. It also places the light source behind the front end, which helps to see where and what I'm turning into.

Here's some pics that show the coverage off to the sides, including what the tire is aiming at. I wanted the brightest light, so I opted for the Squadron Pros. If not needing maximum lumen output and wanting to spend a bit less, the Squadron Sports also put out a good amount of light.

Hey @MOC, Thanks for reaching out for guidance. There are a lot of lighting setups out there, for what you are planning on doing I would recommend The Squadron Pros in a wide corner aimed far out to cover the left and right angles of the trails and possibly doing a driving combo OnX6 or even an S8 light bar in the front. This package will give you a great amount of forward facing light and a great left to right coverage while utilizing wide corner on the a-pillars. This will also remove any chance of hood glare that will be present on a forward facing driving combo lens pattern.

Have you considered doing LP4 on the front bumper and possibly Squadron Sports or S1 on the a-pillars? This will also be a great setup with the IPT lights featured on the LP4s.

Keep a note that no matter which lens package you purchase you are also available to purchase a different lens patterns and switch out your lights down the road with our uService program.

Just a quick shoutout for BD making quality products that work amazingly well. My last JT build had a different big brand set of lights and wasn't happy with them. On the current JLURD build, decided to try out BD, as pictured, 2 LP6's driving combo for the front and a pair of squadron pros for ditch lights.

For myself, didn't want to have to mount 8-10 lights to get what I wanted/needed for frequent night runs I host and BD delivered exactly what I needed. Thanks again..... Should probably get a night pic haha.
