Diode Dynamics SS3 SAE Pro fog lights installed. Update 4/17/21. Now with SS3 Max.

That’s good to hear. Hopefully I have the same experience.

 

Just received a shipping notification from Lightwerkz, all suppliers must be getting stocked back up. Now fingers crossed USPS is having a good week.

 

Finally got my pros installed this evening. I haven’t modified vehicles in about 12 years and was quickly reminded everything takes longer than it seems like it will in pics and on YouTube. Here’s a couple quick victory shots

 

Looks good man. Still waiting on mine to arrive.

 

No, I went through Lightwerkz. I understand there was a large backorder due to packaging issues. My order is somewhere in the USPS system now.

 

Dang I wish I knew you were a vendor as i would've gladly supported a fellow MT man.. good to know for future DS purchases...cheers

 

Lights look great! Did the fogs reseat securely after install or did you have to use the zip tie method to make it from moving around freely?

 

Is there white fogs? If so how do they compare with the yellow ones?

 

my passenger side is pretty secure without zip ties, but my driver side was a bit wobbly after the install. I used zip ties on the driver side so they’re nice and secure. It’s kinda driving me crazy one side has them and the other doesn’t. I’ll probably zip tie the passenger side at some point.

 

Finally got out on the road with my new fogs. When I installed them I put a tape line on the garage wall to outline where the OEM LED fogs cutoff and matched the pros to that line. For some reason I feel like they’re a little low still, but maybe I’m over thinking it. Here’s a couple shots driving down a pretty dark road. First shot is with OEM LED headlights and my ss3 pros, second is with just the pros on.

 

thanks

Way better than stock fogs. Looks good!

 

So after a 6 week wait I finally received them! Quite impressed with the light output!

 

Look what finally arrived in the mail today...anybody wanna guess what I will be doing tomorrow?? These are impressive build wise, I was expecting cheaper plastic housings in the back but they are metal housings. As soon as I get them mounted and hooked up to Switch Pros I will get more pics.

 

They don’t look low to me.

 

Damn I love these lights

 

Max’s?

 

Nope, they’re the sport.

 

Just got my new ambers installed.
Waiting for night to check them out. I will say it’s going to be a sumbitch to adjust these up and down.

However, I watched a few install videos to get to the lights. I saw people really yanking , and a few breaking, the wheel well liner. I was doing my headlights at
The same time and realized the body panel under the headlight is extremely simple to remove. From there it’s really easy to reach in and pull back the three tabs with your finger, using little to no force, and pulling the wheel well liner out.
Hope it helps someone

 

My selective yellow Max’s just showed up today. I need to return my 42” bar. Can’t wait to see these things. Now I have to wait till the weekend to install.

 

SS3 Pro’s

1st - no lights
2nd - low beams only
3rd - low beams + fogs
4th - fogs only

 

Those people by the motorcycle are probably like, wtf.

Looks good though.

 

Not installed but did arrive today.

Much better options out there, the BD SAE is a joke.

 

Are there other brands of SAEs you’d recommend or just that all SAEs are a joke?

 

None better....BD make amazing lights too, but not in SAE format...essentially, DD and BD are some of the best out there with DD being the 100% best for SAE applications.

 

The DD are great,
Rigid close second.

Lengthy and detailed, but great info!

You beat me to sharing the TW write up.

I run the DD pros on my truck and the sports on my wife's SUV.

 

Thanks so much for this reference and dang I wish I'd seen this Tundras forum earlier during my research. My BD SAEs are showing up today and now I have a dilemma. I have an aftermarket bumper that accepts up to two pairs of 3" pod lights. I love the Squadron Sport Spots I bought for offroad, but wondering if it will annoy me that the light housings won't match exactly in the wings of the bumper... yes I am THAT obsessive friend you all have and can only take in small doses! In addition, I noticed in that article the author mentions only mounting spot beams at height, not down low - do I keep the BDs for A-pillar mounting? Hmm, much to contemplate today. So glad I saw this when I did, these lights aren't cheap!
