    If you get the fog light "kit", then yes it will come with all of the bezels and brackets necessary for a clean install

    Perfect, I’ll take a look. I was just browsing their site and saw the pods, figured there was something fog light specific

    I've got 'em on hand too if you want to look over this way :wave:

    If you definitely want to purchase through DD directly just input your truck's info into their vehicle selection area and it'll guide you there :thumbsup:

    www.hotshotoffroad.com and head over to vehicle specific kits (site still under construction and build out, but I think you'll figure it out :D)

    And I don't know what you have for sure or I would guide you to your specific rig!

    Are there any negatives to getting the SS3 Pro vs the SS3 sport (yellow fog for both)? I like the additional brightness and ice repelling capabilities of the pro, but want to make sure there aren't any drawbacks vs the sport.

    Most say the pros shouldn't be run all the time because of on coming traffic. So if you plan to only use them as you would high beams... Go pros. If not, sports.

    The Pros have more glare than the Sport but still with the legal compliance limit of an SAE fog. I run the Pros in selective yellow.

    the cut off isn't a sharp.

    However for bad weather I think it's worth it. I just grabbed pro C2s to make sure the ice won't build up....hopefully. See how that pans out.

    I do like to run my fogs on auto with the headlights, but I don't want to piss off other drivers. Even if properly aimed (4" drop @ 25') is the glare an issue for other drivers? I don't want to be "that guy".

    If aimed properly I personally feel as though you'd be just fine. The proper beam pattern helps A LOT

    The glare is in legal limits, and yellow glare is less harmful to oncoming drivers that 6000k glare. But note that excessive foreground light from fogs when not needed reduces your eyes ability to see distance at night. If you are always driving with them on, I would recommend the Sports. If used appropriately as a fog I would go with the Pros.

    Technically, $300 vs $200 is 50% more.
    I believe if I read things correctly, 14-15w for sport vs 35-36w for pro so twice the current draw.
    For 3000k, 352 lux sport vs 458 for pro is 30% increase in [EDITED] peak [/Edited] output?

    I don't see any of these as drawbacks really, just some of the key numbers for my decision.

    That's a good point about appropriate use. I had been using the OEM fogs to supplement the OEM headlights, but I just replaced the headlight H11s with the Phillips Pro150 H11 bulbs, which is a big improvement over stock.
