    Oh! No haven’t seen it yet. You can rest assured that I’ll capture it once I get my mitts on them though.

    Maybe @ptothegdotcom can snap some too! I know he has a set on its way... :cool:

    I will post a pic when I have them installed. Can't wait. Thanks @memario1214

    Always a high level of customer service!!! Best place to buy lights hands down.

    I bought a set of 3rd gen "Pro" fogs last year. Are the Max SS3s form/fit compatible with the Pros, such that I can replace the Pros with Max-es (i.e. will they fit in the mounts you supplied with the Pros)?

    Are the Maxes still under what the original halogens were in terms of current (Amps)? Asking because I'm wondering if I would have to replace the harness.

    I will find another use for the Pros I will remove.

    Yes the chassis and mounts for the lamps are all the exact same. The Max lights only have 1 or 2 watts of power more than the Pros so it's a negligible difference. It's about 38 completed to 36 watts, still well below standard 55 watt halogen fogs. You can swap them with no changes to the mount or wiring.

    Aren't there round-type and square-type though?

    I actually decided not to upgrade to Max when I found out that a set of Max lights will be over $700 Canadian dollars. I expect that price to come down when there are competing models from other vendors.

    I have them on sale at the moment, but exchange rates are dumb... Unless you're on the right side of them!

    The different "shapes* like square, round, etc. are just faceplates that can be easily swapped. If you already have one set of lights in your fog pockets and want to re-purpose them elsewhere, just pick the faceplates you think will work best on the new lights. Then swap faceplates when they arrive.

    For example, I think I might upgrade to the Max fogs and retain my pros for cornering lights. I'll order the Max with the square bezels (they are the most compact shape). Swap bezels with the current pro fogs (which have that diagonal style faceplate) and voila. I might get the combo pattern lens for them as well.

    That lead time isn’t accurate, they say 8 weeks but I got mine in 2.

    Just installed mine in my 2008 and I’ve been wondering about the aim. It seems that loosening the side bolts and pushing the the fixture down as much as possible was the only way I could really adjust them. The adjustment screw didn’t seem to do much at all. Anyone else with an early 2nd gen have a similar experience and can provide some insight?

    Any idea on this?
    Also are the brackets on anyone else's able to be slightly moved up and down when pushing on them? I tightened the side bolts and that doesn't allow for movement of the pods themselves.

    JUST started filming videos again today. I got a new truck and have been awaiting parts so I didn’t have a vehicle to film lol. Ditch brackets should be here this week. I expect I should be able to have a video of all of the different SS3 patterns out in a couple of weeks

    2 in. spacer lift, rear facing halogen spot lights, leer 100xr canopy, FN Fx Pro wheels in Matte Bronze. Falken Wildpeak AT3W 275/70/17 LRC. Lots of LEDs. Rear ARB air locker.
    I've had a similar experience. Have backed the adjustment screw fully in and nearly fully out without seeing much of a difference in how the pod sits. Would really like to find some help on this because my fogs sit higher than my headlights.
    I remember reading another member having figured it out for the 2nd gen and I'm trying to find his post. Will update when I do.
