3rd Gen Stock Fogs vs Diode Dynamics SS3

when you guys were installing these, did you notice the OEM fog lights have an extra bracket for another screw, but no second lower screw? Seems like shortcut by Toyota. I guess they stay put, but it doesn't seem very secure.

 

if it saves you hitting a deer, what's that worth?

 

This was a big deciding factor with why I got the sports. I thought the pros would be too much light.

 

They can be adjusted, but the amount of adjustment leaves a bit to be desired. There's more upward adjustment than downward. How you install the pod in the bracket has a lot to do with possibly limiting your downward adjustment. That said, I too have the Pros and have no problem with getting flashed. I'm quite happy with them.

 

According to my email to DD, they cannot be adjusted

 

Sure they can. I adjusted mine several times to get them where I wanted them. But like I said, the amount of downward adjustment is somewhat lacking. Quoting our resident expert @crashnburn80: "The only complaint has been some have had difficulty aiming. It is very do-able though, if you follow the instructions in my review post, it should be pretty straight forward. Don’t mount them too far forward or too far back in the mount, which will restrict vertical aiming. And for 2nd Gens only use only the one upper mount screw, not both, to keep them level."

You can adjust them down using the mounting screws on the sides of the lamp. We specifically engineered the brackets to allow at least 6 degrees in either direction, and around 4 degrees down is the recommended aim. Please reference the install instructions for further info! Aim is important, and when correctly aimed, you'll be good to go!

 

Ordering amber pros soon!

 

Anybody have any night time shots with the pros in amber? Also, any Black Friday sale coming up?

 

These are the best amber fogs you can get right now and for the price it’s even better.

 

I’ve been running mine for 8 months and love them. I aimed them easily and can adjust as needed. this photo was a comparison between Baja Design and Diode dynamics the brighter one is the DD3 pro.

 

The brighter one on the right is the Pro?

 

Yes it is the pro.

 

Is it brighter than the Baja squadrons? Any chance you have a picture with it turned on looking down the road?

 

The squadrons I believe are brighter. That was the SAE fog light. I don’t have anything from the cab unfortunately. If the fogs are on I typically have my headlights on too or my light bar.

actually the picture in the snow; the 4 runner behind has the squadrons, but they are not street legal.

 

Thanks! I think I’ll be going with the pros in amber, now just gotta wait/look for a Black Friday discount!

 

This guy usually has a deal going.

If you are looking for an actual fog pattern, the output comparison measurement is in the end of the post here: Diode Dynamics SS3. Spoiler the Pros are massively brighter than Bajas fogs with better cut offs.

 

Or rather than support someone TacomaWorld blocked you could keep it in the family and order from our own @memario1214 at https://hotshotoffroad.com

 

Hotshot Offroad is an excellent guy, reach out to him. He will get you set up.
