    We're glad you're loving them! We just had a submission from a user that received his SSC1 LED pods. There are 4 SSC1 Pro LED pods mounted to the side of his bed rack and 2 SSC1 LED pods with our flush mount option on his rear bumper. Enjoy!

    Might not get them installed this weekend, but I sure do love playing with them. These little things are stupid bright, and they’re only the sports in flood pattern. Good job diode dynamics. Honestly thinking of keeping a battery and an extra pig tail in the truck if I ever might need a flashlight :rofl:

    Let’s just say I haven’t been impressed with mine. From day one they caused static on my radio when they were on like the cheaper brands do. Then with less then 20 hours on them I had one burn up the other night. Found out that was the one causing the static from the beginning.

    What in particular do you have installed? Many a time a poor ground somewhere will cause static. Or even changing ground locations.

    It’s a set of SS3 Sports. I grounded them both in the same location. Once the one quit working the static stopped. I think the one light had an issue from the beginning but I didn’t know it until it quit.

    Just found this thread. Ordered from @memario1214 lasy year for Black Friday.

    Pro Ditch lights in a combo pattern
    Sport Fog light in a fog pattern
    Pro reverse lights in a flood pattern.

    Everything has amber backlights that are tied together as my running/dust lights.

    How bright are the amber backlights? I'm seriously considering a similar setup.

    They’re definitely dimmer than the normal light function but I feel they provide adequate light for my use- dust lights. From inside the cab at night, you can’t really tell they’re on unless you light up a reflective surface. They’re probably as bright as your stock DRL.

    So i was thinking of using my ssc1 backlight feature as part of some low intensity camp lighting. Curious if any of you have done so. I was thinking of wiring them up to a seperate switch in the bed. I ask because i currently only have the main beam wired up. As of now they are mounted to my roof rack and used for side lighting when needed on trail or finding a camp spot

    How bout a duel position switch on the left of the steering wheel? I plan on wiring both the back light and main light to one switch. I thought about putting one in the bed, but then thought it’d be too easy for someone to turn it on if they found it. I know it would take quite a while for that to drain the battery, but still not something I’d want to have to worry about at all.
