Diode Dynamics SS3 Pro Amber Fog Light Ford F150 Driving Review - Light Snow  

The difference is pretty wild

I don't think you could go wrong with them on anything! Should light up off-road really well

I never truly appreciated the amber color until I installed them, way less eye strain

I went with the Pro to keep it under the street legal threshold, the Max has got to be like looking at the sun!

They still work better than any hue of white light Easier on the eyes When offroad they distinguish things better, On snow on rainly street they reflect less Theres still more benefits to selective yellow or an true hue amber. Your eyes registeres yellow easily...doesn't register white with blue hue well Easier on eye means less eye fatigue and night vision is also better Cutting through fog weather LED or halogen was a miscommunication.. it's about light reflection/refraction

All I can comment, anecdotally, is they seem go stop the warp speed effect when driving in snow. Fog sucks no matter what if it's thick enough. The yellow also seems to reduce eye strain at night, for me at least. I do get brighted way more than I used to though!

@@goingtogundys the DD ss3 lineup is hard to adjust correctly ,and seeing the SAE results from.them.compared to Baja (worst) rigid and morimoto It makes sense

It's all to do with the rods and cones inside the human eyes which we sense different light patterns R.G B. Thats why we see better in the day and night creature's when the moon is out. Match the light patterns with our own eyes 👀 and the perfect light patterns can be achieved.

I can clearly see better with more road visibility due to the amber color. I don’t believe or care what experts are saying. Shit matters when it’s foggy, rainy or a blizzard.

Really? I was looking at the ambers in Max but it's $200 more than the Pros. If it's not "that" much brighter or more visible or whatever, to where it makes a huge difference, I might as well save the money and go with the Pros. By all accounts the Pros seem to do a great job.

@@Dreaklock The difference is that the pros have a lot more spill and thus make them "brighter" however that spill is really annoying to oncoming traffic. The max do not have as much spill and a more defined cut off which makes them appears to be not as bright. However they are much better for oncoming traffic and just all around better road etiquette.

I stuck with the Pros to keep them street legal. I don't think any LEOs around me would stop me, but I don't want to piss off everybody (just most of the people) going the other direction.

As bright as the Pros are, the Maxs will make it daylight! Let me know what you think!!

Did you get the Pros?

@Going to Gundy's yes I did get the pros. It will be delivered today. Exiting.

Sounds about right

Occasionally, but not often. I have gotten in the habit of turning then off when I get into town. 🤷‍♂️

I have the sports and still get flashed sometimes. Plan to get pro ditch lights for the extra light at night

Thanks Cole. I have not re-aimed my low beams, but the difference in the level lift is it only brings the front up 1-1.5" compared to 2.5 with just the level. Also, with the snap in pods from DD, there isn't a lot of adjustment and I have them as far down as they go. I typically only use them when driving in the open country and reduced visibility situations. Technically they're street legal and I like to see the ditches due to the deer density in the area I live. DD has a great video covering all of the fog light beam height, width and lumens for all of the major manufacturers, OEM and aftermarket. I do get flashed more than I used to, but then I see somebody with blue headlights and don't feel bad about it at all.

@@goingtogundys Any change in suspension height will alter the beam height. I suggest you aim the low beams down at least a little bit. It is clear in the video that they are too high, regardless of the level/lift height.

I got into some pea soup fog last month right before sunrise on the Interstate. The amber does a nice job of cutting into the fog as opposed to white light that immediately reflects back. I'm very happy with them so far.

She things fog lights are blinding to oncoming traffic

She thinks fog lights are blinding to oncoming traffic

Ha! No, but I should have!!

Hahaha 😆 had them on my car and the first thing the wife says, "I don't see any difference," and added she didn't like how yellow and old they look hahaha
