The LED SAE J583 Fog Pod & Fog Light Review

Newbie question, but I have a base model 2012 Regular Cab, what wiring harnesses would be recommended as mine didn’t come prewired. I’m building from scratch. Cheers!

 

SSC2 backlights revealed.

 

Hmmm, very interesting - especially the blue. Are they suggesting that one can use these for warning purposes with an appropriate flasher in the circuit?

 

No idea what the legal implications are.

 

White, selective yellow and amber are the only legal colors for forward street use on a non-emergency vehicle.

 

Yup. That's why I'm kind of wondering. Blue is legal here (NY) for emergency vehicles, but only rear facing. They can also use 360 degree white or red. Volunteer fire fighters can also use 360 degree blue.

 

In general, the backlight is for cosmetics. For legal reasons, SAE patterns (fog and driving) will only be sold with white or amber backlight.

Red is a very nice feature with extra backup lights, but it cannot serve any purpose for compliance. Blue is for fun. As backlights, these are not bright enough to serve as emergency lights. Keep in mind, this is just the backlight - not the main beam.

 

I would love to try the combo optics as ditch lights but I'm afraid they won't fit in the same footprint as the S2s, especially with the integrated DTM connector.

 

Thats a sleek setup

 

They're Here! These look freaking awesome! I LOVE the backlight feature! For my intended purpose, that will be super helpful! Off to order some.....

 

I feel like a kid on christmas! Just ordered a pair. I have a few questions though if you don't mind? Are there plans to do the flush mount in more optics than flood and fog? What size hole do I need to cut to install the flush mounts? And I believe those are 4 way deutsch DT plugs for them? And considering they are 2A draw for the Pros, I'm hoping a 16 gauge harness would be sufficient? (please say yes, it's the biggest DT crimper I have!)
I am betting all of these questions will be answered when I actually get my lights, but I'm all giddy now! Thanks!

 

Thanks, great questions! We won't be offering additional optics out of the box for the flush mount. Flood and fog make up about 98% of orders on the SS3 flush mount, so we limited it to those two options. You can purchase an extra lens to swap in if you'd like though!
The template for the SSC2 Flush cutout is here, and ships with your order too: http://images.diodedynamics.com/doc...SSC2_Flush_Mount_Bracket_Guide_&_Template.pdf
16 AWG should be fine with a 2A draw!

Thanks again!

Thank you! Really looking forward to getting these in case you couldn't tell I ordered one set to do my mock ups with, but there be more soon. If I wanted to change the lens, should I just reach out to you guys on your website? And it will be possible to get just the lenses? Thanks again!

 

SORRY! I just recently found out you exist There will be more sets in the future, so I'll be sure to spread the love.

 

New enough unfortunately. More so new to the truck/off road thing. I know places that make cars go fast very well, driving over rocks, not so much
Don’t take it personal, I didn’t even know running4tacos and Toytec existed until I had to go to a plumbing supply house up there

 

Replacement lenses are indeed available now, directly online. Thanks!
