    Yes. We actually had a delay unrelated to the pandemic supply chain slowdowns. We had to add one extra new component after some last-minute testing we were doing. We're not sure if there was a discrepancy in the models we tested on initially, but the most recent test we did showed that the ball screw for adjustment of the lamp was slightly too short to fit into our bracket. It would have worked, but it wouldn't have worked totally correctly as planned. So we had a new stainless ball screw machined. It's on the way to us now, so as soon as it arrives we will start shipping these. ETA right now is the 2nd week of May. Iknow I've given a lot of dates, but I can finally say that one confidently based on the fact that virtually all components are finally here, and ready to go.

    Here is a drawing of the newly-designed ball screw that will be included with the kits now. Fun.

    Do you have a sale going on on these? I'm interested for the 30" LED light-bar (combo/amber).

    No, there are no sales going on right now.
    Diode Dynamics vendors such as @memario1214 are also not permitted to offer any product discounts outside of sale periods. I'd check out what each vendor offers, and pick one that offers the best deal on shipping and overall service! Thank you.

    At the moment, 100% true, but the sales do show up from time to time! Wish you guys had SS3s rolling in quicker. These guys are hungry for them. :D

    Wow..OK. I don’t need your lights that bad. I thought I understood MAP but it never stopped vendors selling under MSRP for parts.
    No worries, I don’t need these.

    Should be back in stock this week! :thumbsup:
    It depends on the specific manufacturer's policy. I appreciate your understanding!

    Yup, I do...also understand that some agreements are best kept between manufacturer and vendor.

    @Diode Dynamics so how much longer do we have to wait for the Diode Dynamics “S2” style to come out? And don’t use this quarantine as some sort of excuse, your company is better than that.

    Was there chatter about an S2 style light? I must have missed it?

    It was confirmed the style is in works in the fog light thread.

    There are many good companies in our industry who have furloughed their staff, including engineers, as they see major drops in sales. I don't think we are any better than those companies - there is a lot happening that is out of everyone's control right now.

    That said, our engineers and the rest of the company are currently healthy and able to work remotely. Our C2 "half size" pod is being tooled now with an expected release in July. Thanks!

    Just placed my order for the SS3 Yellow Sports. Gave me a shock seeing that $20 shipping! Looks like they'll be worth it though.

    Still waiting for a set to ship from them. Was told it would either be the end of this week or beginning next week. Looks like it’s not this week :(

    Any update on the SS3 Pro Fogs in white shipping times? I see Amazon has them shipping from you directly on May 15th. Thanks! @Diode Dynamics

    Few places (including myself) have these in stock at the moment. You can buy the standard lights, but they are behind on the mounting kits for the Tacomas. May 15th is the date. I can confirm that this is the date I expect my stocking order to be fulfilled based upon discussions with them.
