    You mean selective yellow. :) Amber means something very different and the SS3s are not available in amber. I repetitively make this point because a certain lighting company has caused significant and ongoing confusion by using the wrong terminology, and people should be informed to use the correct terminology for their lighting products. The light output is yellow and legally classified as 'selective yellow', which is actually way better than amber.

    Just trying to help educate people on lighting. This is what amber looks like: Morimoto Amber

    Not as a kit. Personally, I recommend you ordering ditch mounts from Rago Fab, and then ordering SSC2s from me :cool:

    I like the way the mounts sit compared to others. Maybe I'll do the SSC2s with the Cali Raised mounts.

    As much as I hate to admit it I have heard pretty good things about the Cali ditch mounts for the 2nd gen

    The SS3 PRO’s that I currently have on my Taco, is it possible to use them as ditch lights, as long as I switch out the lenses?

    Of course! Not knowing the rest of your lighting situation I’d recommend a driving lens.

    If you are parked on level ground, or your driveway had the typical downward slant, you need to turn those fog lights down as far as possible. Looks like they need to go down at least 20 degrees.

    But the amount of light those throw out is very impressive!
