    Hello everyone, new owner of a 25 tundra.

    Have read through a couple threads about this subject already on here and some other forums, but was wondering if anyone had more input on the subject.

    Anyone have any input on the diode dynamics ss6 fogs and the baja designs s2 SAE fogs in amber for these trucks? Looking at taking advantage of the sales going on right now.

    Both seem like good options, baja seems to have a sharper cutoff, while the DD seem to have a little wider spread.


    Any opinions are welcome!
    Thanks!

    The Diode SS6's are unfortunately quite outdated... Their replacements were supposed to be ready for sale a few months ago, but have been delayed several times. The SS6s are far cheaper than the Baja S2s because of their age and output in comparison to other 6" light bars.

    My vote would be S2 SAEs

    Thanks for the suggestions, I wasn't aware the ss6 were already nearing a redesign.

    Is there any info on the update?

    I'll put a tally towards BD.

    I was just looking at fog lights also. One I saw was by Heretic. Those look nice but looks to be a pain to install. Boy o Boy is everything pricey.

    I have the DD SS6.
    Pro: very bright output, relatively cheap compared to Baja, easy install (for both most likely)
    Cons: lack a real cut off, flood significantly

    if I used them more, I’d likely get the Baja Designs more for the aesthetics. Am I happy with the purchase, yes. Do I have buyers remorse when I see trucks with the BD, a little but that fades quickly with knowing I don’t use the lights often anyway since I have the lightbar if I need

    Similar situation. Bought my SS6 set last year and I’ve been happy with them, but I don’t run a light bar.

    I’d like to have a BD set I don’t use them enough to justify the BD price. The times I’ve needed the DD set to help while driving, they haven’t let me down. DD is a great value for the price.

    Thanks fellas.

    So far sounds like it's kind of a win win either way.

    I generally drive mostly back roads, gravel roads, etc in a rural area so most if not all the time I leave my fog lights on. I also drive a lot at night and dawn, and lots of snow storms in the winter time, so good fogs have always been a big help.

    Sounds like the BD may be a better option so far since they have a better cut off vs the flood from DD.

    Just ponying up almost 2x the amount for the BD is the stumper.

    Lots of stuff!
    I got a used set of SS6 DD’s and had them in the Tundra. They are bright amd I used them all the time to help the crappy drivers see me.

    When the Tundra went, I kept the lights and installed them in the not Tundra. Still the same crappy drivers so these really help.

    One day, when we get some fog, I can actually see how they work for their intended use.
