    A performance OE-style fog light is LONG past due.
    ​
    Today's aftermarket options are based on old OEM designs. The problem? Stock performance from 10 years ago doesn’t cut it. Some of the most well-known offerings are a DOWNGRADE in output from stock halogen.

    With dozens of innovative features, the Diode Dynamics SS3 pod set a new standard for fog light output and performance. With maximum durability and quality, they’ve been put through their paces in serious off-road conditions. They’re also proudly built here in the USA.

    While others are busy copying the SS3 overseas, our engineers have been working hard to create the first OE-style fog that provides a true upgrade in performance.

    Introducing the ELITE LED FOG.

    ​
    • Patent-pending optic delivers extremely sharp and wide output pattern – meets SAE F3 standard
    • Multi-die automotive emitters for up to 5 times greater output than halogen
    • Amber backlight feature standard
    • Unmatched durability and quality, with the same validation testing as our Stage Series lineup
    • Integrated aim adjustment and molded brackets for perfect bolt-on installation
    • 8-year warranty
    • NOT IMPORTED - ASSEMBLED IN USA

    Available for 2012-2021 Toyota Tacoma this fall. Stay tuned for more details!

    What do you guys think?

    I'm reading this thinking "Damn, why isn't anyone talking about these, yet?" And then I see the date posted.

    Nice! Any thoughts on doing a dual-color (white/yellow switchable)?

    Thanks for this information. I have actually been in the market for a set for my 12 Prerunner.
    I will look into these a bit more and wait on them should it work out to be a good fit for my needs.

    Is there any pricing target information? Testing or bata field use reporting info? Is there a way to pre-order should you decide it is what your after?

    We will release more information regarding pricing soon. However, they will be in line with other current market leaders for OEM-style fog lamps. Stay tuned!

    We're always looking to expand our vehicles specific kits. I'll be happy to share your feedback with our engineering team!

    Unfortunately, no plans for a switchable main beam color output. All Elite Series LED fog lamps will include an amber back light with a main beam in your choice of 6000K cool white or 3000K selective yellow.

    We will have more details available soon regarding our Elite Series LED fog lamps. Stay tuned!

    Why would one choose these over the Sports? Just for appearance? Are sports better performing? @Diode Dynamics

    The SS3 Sport LED fog lamps are high-performing.

    There is a large audience of users that aren't interested in the off-road appearance of our SS3 LED fog light kit. We're filling the gap with a high-performance OEM-style LED fog lamp option.

    So are you saying that the two have equal or the same performance, but one with an OEM look?
