    I found a temporary solution at the hardware store. The PO is out of town and he said when he gets back he’ll see if he has all the parts I need. Fingers crossed. Thanks for all your help!

    How are you all adjusting the ss3s? It seems like it'd be difficult to get to the inner hex to adjust

    I put mine on snug enough they were physically amiable with sufficient force, but not so tight they absolutely refused to move. Then manually aimed them from the front of the truck.

    Just wanted to say thanks for all your hard work. I blindly got the BD SAE fogs as I have had good luck with all their other stuff, now I want SS3 Max....

    I have not had anyone flash me, but I think I have them aimed real low.

    Now you have the SS3 Max? I think that's what you're saying. They're pretty silly, eh?

    Aiming is important too so get that tackled!

    Damn - bummed out I got the SS3 Pros a few months back... would have held out for sure if I knew the Max was coming.

    Still suit my needs though - thanks for testing & compiling as always

    I've changed the fogs on my truck so many times chasing the next thing it is absurd. I think the Max will be my 9th fog. I don't see anything beating the Max any time soon though, but I thought the same for the Pros.

    LOL! But what if it later Osram released the emitters in 4000k? Then optics could be streamlined and filtration losses would be reduced for higher output intensity in selective yellow. Seems unlikely. But...
