Did Diode Dynamics get anyone else for $170 for 3 tiny bulbs?

    Man I hate the incandescent 3rd brake and cargo lights. Swapped to LEDs that don’t last 3 months. Well in comes Diode Dynamics with this video highlighting everything about all the other bulbs that suck and mine were flickering so no waiting for a sale!

    I have their SS3 fog kits on both our Tundra and Suburban and they were $220 and $250 respectively.
    $170 for 3 itty bitty bulbs was a rough pill to swallow but they are good stuff!!!

    Too many, but not enough....
    I think I spent 15 bucks on Amazon and they are blinding. No doubt won't last as long but I bought a second set since they are so cheap.

    Not sure when you got your SS3s, but they now cost about $100-$150 more than your prices mentioned. So maybe that that will help you feel better about the LED bulb prices?

    So did I and have had to replace them twice in under a year. Figured I keep doing that the seal will finally give way then I would have moisture issues.


    I have had the Tundras for 2 years or so and the Suburbans for a month or so.
    Both were during their sales.
