Here's The BEST OFF-ROAD LED LIGHT PODS I'VE FOUND!! [Complete Install & Payoff]
How To Install LED Light Pods
Diode Dynamics SS3 Flush Mount LED Light Pods
In this video I install and test a seemingly fantastic set of off-road led light pods by Diode Dynamics. Diode Dynamics uses a different technology with their lenses called 'TIR' or 'Total Internal Reflection' and it seems to work wonderfully. The light pods I'm using in this video are called the 'SS3 Yellow Sport Flush Mount LED Pod'. The SS3 pods come in various flavors and strengths but the most interesting part, I think, is the TIR tech built into the lenses. This tech focuses most of the light to precisely where they want it with as little light spill as possible. They're also very affordable!

People please stop commenting on things you don't know. I've already read about a dozen comments about adding a fuse. The wiring harness comes with a fuse. It would be so simple to look it up on the manufacturers website. But people here are still stating to install a fuse. I personally have two 2008 Subaru Forester's w/ light bars. Both have a set of SAE fogs and running lights on them from Diode Dynamics. That's four sets, and all four sets came with wiring harnesses.

I bought my first diode dynamics parts a few weeks ago. I was surprised to find that they are based in St. Louis. I tied my off road lights into my high beam switch. No external switches, simple and clean look, and easily accessible by flicking the dimmer switch on the blinker arm. They are powered by a relay which takes microamperage to activate from the high beam circuit. My setup also turns on my low beams when my high beams and off road lights are on.

I wasn't sure if you knew the factory switch existed. My Tahoe has factory fog lights, plus a switch for the rear hatch and rear wiper so all those slots are filled with buttons and aren't plated off. I'm not in any way a critic of where you put the your switch and those LED's are amazing.

Was looking into adding fog lights to my 99 Tahoe, but like you I wanted them flush mounted in the bumper. Thank you for doing this mod, it gives me even more ideas! Love the yellow but will have to see if they have white fog from the same place. Looks great and I'd like to echo what Hampton_381 said with the 4 high mod. With those fogs and then all four front head lights (with LED's or HID's) there really isn't a need for a light bar on the top.

I have a 1990 Chevy C1500, and personally speaking, although you did a great job on the install, there are better options, (such as a bull bar license plate mount that you can install off-road lights on) Your lights look really good, but I wouldn't have cut holes in my bumper. If the manufacturer quits making those lights, you're screwed! I suggest that you buy some extra sets of those, and wire them to a fuse and a relay.

@x-man5056
@x-man5056 3 года назад
Don't shim them up Jimmy. They look perfect right where they are. With fog lights, you want the light low because fog is usually less dense nearer the ground and if your lights get to high you will just get more glare from reflecting off the fog. Nice job mounting and great spot for them. A carbide burr on a die grinder would have been perfect for those rounded corners in the bumper but the old file will do the job, just slower and unknown to me if you have a compressor anyway. Consider moving power source from battery and to a "power at key on" source.
