Diode Dynamics Fog Light Kit SS3 Pro SAE White Jeep Wrangler JK 2007-2018/ JL 2018-2021/ Gladiator 2020-2021

Diode Dynamics:
DD6197

Diode Dynamics SS3 Pro SAE White Fog Light Kit for 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 Jeep JK Wranglers, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021 JL Wranglers and 2020-2021 Gladiators.

Maximize the lighting on your 2007-2018 Jeep JK Wrangler, 2018-2021 JL Wrangler, or 2020-2021 Gladiator with the Diode Dynamics SS3 Pro SAE White Fog Light Kit DD6197. These LED-based fog lights easily install on factory mounts with custom-engineered TIR optics to light the way! The highly useful beam pattern creates a targeted light beam, so no more wasted output.
Features and Benefits:
- SS3 LED fog light
- Direct fit kit
- SAE-compliant road-legal output
- Includes round bezel, for factory-style appearance
- Plug and play, no modification needed
- Advanced TIR optics provide high efficiency and focus
- Durable powder-coated aluminum extrusion
- Engineered and Manufactured in the USA
- Fits plastic bumpers only

The included round bezel has a clean, factory-style appearance with a bright result. Thanks to the custom-molded brackets, the SS3 Fog Light Bracket Kit can be installed quickly and hassle-free. By removing the factory fog light assembly, it bolts right into place! Wire adapters are included to connect the lights to your factory bulb sockets to avoid wiring. Traditional optics like reflectors lose light from glare, while the SS3 SAE white fog lights collect all light from the LED, and reduces glare thereby improving the total efficiency.

Vehicle Fitment:
- Plastic Bumper 2007-2018 Jeep Wrangler JK Sport/Sahara/Rubicon
- Plastic Bumper 2018-2021 Jeep Wrangler JL Sahara
- Plastic Bumper 2018-2021 Jeep Wrangler JL Rubicon
- Plastic Bumper 2020-2021 Jeep Gladiator Overland
- Plastic Bumper 2020-2021 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon
*Does not fit Sport JL models

It's surprising that they can be significantly brighter and still be street legal. That's pretty cool.

In your experience, do the fogs project further than OEM? Do the DD white lights reflect? Thanks in advance !

They do project further for sure. As for reflect".... I believe/think if you are concerned on reflect, (when driving in snow, etc.) you are better off going with the SS3 Pro with the yellow lense.

I just installed the SS3's so only know that they project further then factory LED fogs.

this is an extremely long thread but the best there is. Focus on page 1

Another rugged ridge Arcus and badland 12k install. Only unique thing I did was wrap both power and ground cables in the same wire loom tape that is everywhere else in our Jeeps. Made for a super clean factory looking install.

 

[rjpjeep]

I did the CMM Offroad rear view mirror delete / upgrade. Love it!

 

[Kleiss1]

Changed the differential fluids in n my JLURD. Forgot how smelly that stuff is.

 

[Kleiss1]

What splash guards did you order? All I have looked at show interference with the rock rails. From my JK, I know I have to have them.

I just installed the Weather Tech on the front.
I hope they don’t hang down too low. They’re pretty stout.

Changed the differential fluids in my JLURD.

I just did the same this morning. Yes, gear oil has a scent all its own.

The oil was in each axle for ~36K miles. The rear is as pictured below (pretty good, IMO). The oil in the front looked new, unsurprisingly.

That's just a bit of water to the left of the drain pain; it was raining steadily last evening when my wife arrived home.

The squeeze pouches are the bee's knees. They accelerate the fill process by an order of magnitude. Recommended. (Not pictured: the bottle of 75W-140 that I drew from to add that bit of extra oil required to top off the rear diff.)

As usual, my Quality Control employee dicked around looking at the wrong thing.

Pretty sure that's how Jeep does it in the factory as well.

I understand the DD are brighter, but do you think the "shutter" on the top of the OEM fogs also reduce full output of the OEM fog lights? I am talking about if you look at the OEM fog lights, you can see the upper top of it is blocked off. Has anyone tried to remove the blocked off area?

 

[frank-o]

installed lasfit stealth hood lock. didnt like the keyed hood latches i bought. having an extra key and all the ones available look or feel cheap. this solves all my problems.

I purchased one as well and is on my list to install. How was the installation?

 

[GregorioJL]

JLU Radiator coolant reservoir. FYI, the hose connector on the bottom is a flawed design. It's possible for someone to attach the connector imperfectly. There is a metal clip that slides horizontally, and if it is connected without engaging that the hose will come loose under pressure.

Not bad at all. Only thing is I don’t have a 8mm box end wrench to tighten the button bracket.

Typical orange cat energy. My wife doesn't like the term "himbo", but I can't think of a better descriptor for ours. He's big of heart, dumb of ass
