    I recently picked up and installed the Diode Dynamics SS3 Foglights in my 2020 Tacoma and I'm very pleased with them so far. Overall lighting performance is a huge and very drastic improvement over the OEM's. I do alot of night / back country / snowy winter driving in the dark so I really wanted to upgrade them!

    This is a short video I filmed installing them and I also flew my drone above to show some comparison shots vs. OEM!

    According to Diode Dynamic’s website they are SAE/DOT compliant.

    Those are what I have on the 4runner. Liked them well enough to buy a set for the Taco.
    So, yeah; I guess you could say they're my favorite...lol

    Yeah I can add another vote for these SS3s. Great lights.

    Hilarious backorder at the moment considering everything going on in the world though.

    You search the mod-list, but don't find anything of interest.
    Did you opt for the pro series output or the "normal"?

    The SS3's I have by the way are the "Sport" ones!!

    I saw some discussion online about the "candle light" output but honestly, with my own eyes, I can see so much further beyond, down the road and especially in the ditch!!! Huge improvement to me.

    I've had a few close calls with wildlife out, sometimes I was driving up 1.5 hours on a single lane back country road around 2am. It really sucked in the snow/ winter time. Glad to have these now!

    I also heard good things about Baja too (the design does look a bit similar too!)

    I’ll put a vote in for DD ss3 sports. They are top notch. Way better than anything I have used.
