The LED SAE J583 Fog Pod & Fog Light Review

Looks like there is a version number on the circuit board to indicate latest revisions.

Just an observation

 

I just got them yesterday from your group buy. Max fogs in yellow.

 

You are on the right track. The SS3 Sports in yellow are a far better option.

Welcome! Many non-Tacoma vehicles in this thread. Any pics of your arctic experience? Sounds like your headlights might need an upgrade as well, if you list what model truck/headlight you have I can toss some recommendations your way.

 

Thanks for clarifying. That’s what I assumed but you know how that saying goes

 

Will these be marked in some way to indicate the color change?

 

Installed Diode Dynamics SS3 Pro fogs this weekend. I have adjusted the angle of the fogs the best I could (following the 25ft and 4"down method) . Camera exposure is the same for all these photos. Purchased from user @memario1214 and his website https://hotshotoffroad.com/ !!!!!!!!!!

 

Well just measured the square hole in my bumper, the SS3s won't fit. I have at most 3 5/8" and the SS3s are 3.8". So that leaves me at $300 Rigid ambers or back to my original idea of Offroad Towns.

 

Or make the openings larger.

But if staying with the size and traditional pods, I’d go with the Rigid selective yellow.

 

Mine don’t fit perfectly on the minivan. But they work well enough. I prefer a no cut option though if someone made a replacement plastic trim piece I’d buy it.

 

The lights themselves will fit, it's when you add the mounting bracket.

It's a metal bumper....kinda hard to cut when a square tube has been welded in.

 

How would the SSc2 compare when ordering the SAE Fog option in yellow?

 

Yes compared to the SS3s. Aesthetically, I really don't care.
If I can get similar performance as the SS3s at half the cost of Rigids, I'm ok with putting a rectangle in a square hole. I was looking at the SS3 Sports in SAE fog.

 

The square tubes are angled so flush mount won't work. I'm fine width wise, the square tube has an ID of 3 5/8". It's the height of the SS3 with the bracket that won't fit.
Also, what's with the amber backlighting? What is it for?

 

The lights will fit. Make new brackets.


Think of something, draw it up, mock it with cardboard, have a fab shop cut it out.

Zero height S2 brackets:









Layback driving light mounts:







Easy peasy. Plan, draw, mess up a few times, readjust, execute.

 

Install behind the hole, cut hole larger, or have them stick thru the hole. I made a bracket and have them sticking thru on my wife pathfinder
