    The Diode Dynamics SS3 PRO’s do a solid job keeping the lens clear of snow while driving.

    I won’t have any spares, most the lights are provided on loan.

    Well, mine are in. And I do mean IN! I installed them this afternoon and did some preliminary aiming. If the weather clears up a little bit tonight, I'll get and post some pics.

    These are ss3 pro's in yellow. First picture is just oshram h9 head lights, second is just fogs. Both these pictures are exposure locked taken with a s10+ phone. I've got them pointed almost all the way down.

    The third photo is taken about 50 feet away at an estimated sedans driver eye level. They appear bright but I don't feel they are blinding, the third photo makes it look like the fog light is glaring badly but to my eye it doesn't seem very bothersome . I haven't decided if they are annoyingy bright for other drivers but if you're unsure I'd get the sport model.

    Got my SS3 Sports in. Surprisingly powerful.

    They light up the whole street in front of my house. Freeze tests to come.

    Stock yellow painted fogs next to new ones. The SS3’s are built VERY solid

    Getting them leveled out. May need to aim down a few millimeters, but need to drive around a bit first.

    The street outside my garage, notice where it hits the mailbox post in thee 2-3ft range. This is just the fogs and outer driving LEDs in the headlights

    Bright indeed. My camera can’t even pick it up correctly

    Well I’m glad I’m getting mine tomorrow. You guys are making me jealous! They do appear very bright from an approaching car POV.

    Those sports are brighter than I expected! After the low output of others these seem very powerful.

    I was a bit surprised by how much light they throw.

    Had some fog this morning, SS3 pros did good. Need to fine tune the aim a hair more up.

    Took some more pics out in the cold. Granted it wasn’t pouring snow, but the level of these appears right and I’m still impressed by the sport light output. This is just the headlight LED strips and the fogs.

    Got to drive in some pretty thick fog this morning the the BD retro fit upgrade. Not as bright as there were before the upgrade. I threw the amber covers on my Rigid driving duallys to help out some, I know they cut the output way down but seemed just as bright if not brighter than the BD fogs. I heard back from Diode Dynamics saying that they are planning a kit for my F150, may look into those.
