Now these are some absolutely Incredible output shots of our SS3 LED Pods :eek:

Once those SS3 Max fog lamps are aimed downward properly they'll be road-legal and ready to rock!
Now just give me those same lights that are round.

You don’t happen to have a shot of low beams only vs lows and one pair of fogs do you?
Will post up when I have a chance to take another pic.

Unfortunately, our pods are patented with our Ico Bezel shape.

Same company/brand? Can you post a link if what you bought? I just like the look of the rounds lights vs square.
Thank you
I got these

Do your SS3 lights still require some cutting of the plastic bumper?

Here's an idea... that still probably isn't enough. Let's put another 50k lumens fog on each side just in case we haven't blinded the on coming person yet!
Do you all consider the other driver? I mean I know the answer to that.....look when you pull around a drive-thru and people can't even turn off their lights. That is just being polite!
This, where does it get you other than everyone high beaming you as you go by them or you blinding people when you pull up on them.
That's my rant, I just don't get it!!!

I knew someone would go here without doing their homework.. :)

Check the precise cutoff, they don't blind anyone if you aim them properly. DD also mentioned the same. You also won't get this precise of a cutoff with Rigid or Baja Designs, nor the power. The SAE Fogs also wouldn't meet the SAE J583 standard if they were blinding people. So Yes, other drivers ARE considered. Granted, I need to readjust my fogs since I lifted (I mentioned), which I did last night post seeing the raised elevation compared to my pre-lift alignment. My other SS3's are OFFROAD lights and are not ran on the street. I've never been flashed BTW... 🍻

I know, I know....first I always hated homework.

Working with Rigid and Baja Designs I too was able to increase my lighting output to acceptable limits!. See ya on the road...just take this as a joke buddy nothing more. 😂

Below are some pics of 3 SS3 sets, Max and 2 Pro, mounted in my SRQ winch bumper.

1 set of SS3 Max amber fog pattern, no other lights… Aimed ~3” below low beams.

with low beams:

+1 more set SS3 Pros in combo pattern, low beams
IMG_6598.jpeg

+1 more set SS3 Pro in Spot pattern (so all 3 sets), low beam:
IMG_6599.jpeg

All 3 SS3 sets and high beam:
IMG_6600.jpeg


Amazing lights and I’m super happy with them. I purchased through @SPVPARTS during one of their sales and saved a good chuck of $$.
Thanks for this. I'm thinking the Max Fog in white and the Max combo for my capable bumper. After reading your post, I'm thinking the Max combo may be overkill as the Pros reach out and touch..

Opinions?

I'm not very impressed with the low beams on my new bronco. I've done some research and came across your SS3 and Elite fog lights. Would adding either of your fog options supplement the throw of the factory low beams? The factory fogs give some peripheral light but nothing beyond a few feet of course. I'm hoping a much brighter fog will light up the road further than stock. I have a basic plastic bumper with factory fogs so I think either the Elite or SS3 versions will fit.
I put the DD Elite Fogs in my (sorta) capable bumper and they're like night and day!!!
Who needs low beams?!?

Maybe I'm missing something but low/high beam with those lights on are rather pointless and indistinguishable.

The white SS3’s are Offroad lights and not street legal. On the street you should only be running the fogs with lows (or high if you did the Forscan mod). In Tx you can only run one set of fogs with lows in the street.

DD makes SAE fog and SAE driving patterns that are street legal. Check your local/state laws on what you can run on the street…
