Rick - I’m glad I decided to look at RSD before pulling the trigger at diode. I’ll be putting in an order in just a second!! You sold me. I was about to get the SS3 sport series for the cheaper price but the cyber Monday PRO price with you guys is amazing. Thank you. And I needed an install video and this is more than enough. Amazing. Been a supporter since my 15 wrx and now my wife’s 18’ XV 🙂
Looking to upgrade fogs on my 2020 Tundra but concerned about not having the proper current draw and if resistors need to be wired in. Amber looks sweet . Diode Dynamics is the only vendor I use for my LEDs.
I don't think it would be an issue at all unless the computer is specifically looking for a certain draw. These draw 36 watts, and I think your stock bulbs will be around 50 watts, so it's possible it could cause an issue, but it might be best to see what other people are doing when they install LED's and see how they get around the issue. A resistor would always work, but perhaps there is a more elegant way? Thanks, Rick
We actually have the sport ambers on there right now(what you see in the video), and the clears in the video are the pro. I legit did not know this until after I shot and edited the video, but I'm anxious to get my hands on the amber pro's, but even the sports are amazingly bright, it's almost silly. Thanks! Rick
@@rallysportdirect thanks for the reply bro , if possible could you do a comparison between the (old) 6 inch diode dynamic stage series pods vs these new diode dynamics sport pods (driving beam pattern) Thanks in advance
How are they for driving around the city? I have Baja's and they're way too bright for anything but trails (overpowers my morimoto hid retrofit). Had to disable SRF or people would be flashing me. Picked up a set of morimoto xb but haven't installed them yet.
Thank you! And they are the Diode Dynamics Low beams found here: www.rallysportdirect.com/part/led-lighting/dd0217p-diode-dynamics-h11-sl1-led-low-beam-led-headlight-bulbs I have not changed out the high beams yet, but I might be doing that soon. :) Thanks, Rick
Never got to see the yellow output! Is like, you are only concentrating in showing how "stylish" they look". I really wanted to see the real life spread of the ss3 fog yellows.
I would probably run the white lights as previous experience with PIAA yellow fog lights has proven to me that while they look cool on the vehicle, they actually make visibility worse due to the yellow hue color shifting everything and reducing contrast. I wish you had done a side-by-side wall test between the white and yellow to show not only if there was a brightness difference, but also how well the yellow lights actually let you see what's in front of you. The yellow wave length is supposed to be reflected back at you less in fog than white light, but from my experience they really only help other drivers see you better rather than helping you to see better.
Hear in my area in northern Canada Yellow is my choice; why I feel it does not reflect the light as much back at me in snow, fog, and the rain mist. You have to try both types in your area under your conditions and see what feels most comfortable for you. As always play safe from Elliot Lake, Ontario, Canada.
Amber for fogs. The color contrast is better for seeing and being seen in poor visibility conditions. I actually prefer an amber beam that's more orange than yellow. Fog beams should be mounted/aimed low and wide. Clear is for driving pencil or offroading flood beams. They can be mounted higher than fogs.
Amber does give Subies more of that really look and that's probably why they are so popular , I have some basic yellow LED installed in original fog light assembly right now ( mod on a budget) and the look is nice but there is almost 0 functionality since assembly is designed with reflectors for halogen bulbs. So that is definitely a future upgrade that I would want to do is to install an actual LED assembly instead of just bulbs to improve performance of the light.
Sorry for the late reply. Just found your channel :) I am looking for direct Amber replacements for my 2021 Crosstrek Limited. The link about doesn't work (out of stock maybe) Can I get the info on what I need for my Xtrek please? And do they use the same switch up on the blinker column to turn on/off? Thanks
Hi, I would like to know if when I replace my fog lights with this, will it remove the DRL? I am running Crosstrek 2018 base model which is the DRL is directed to fog lights. Thank you for your feedback in advance.
I just put the baja designs on my frs. I am disappointed with the beam pattern, they were bought to use as fog lights yet they would not work as such since the pattern is so tall.
That whole setup is from Warn, it's their semi hidden winch kit and we have their bumper, grill guard and of course the winch :) www.rallysportdirect.com/part/bumpers/winchgroup-warn-industries-semi-hide-winch-mount Thanks, Rick
I just got my SS3 from diode dynamics today in the mail so that's my project this weekend..great video and I will try to do my best to do it the way that you did because it seems like very seamless and a lot less work... 2019 pearl white 'trek
Please please please. Amber. I love my Subaru, want to do a lift kit in the future but money is low , I have put rain guards, mud flaps & a rubber door trim I have a 2021 Crosstrek so a set of amber fog lights would be deeply appreciate. Good video. Thanks. Did not expect them to be that bright. Crazy
HAHAHAHAHA YES!!!! I bet you could build a housing to legitimately make this work. hmmm now you've got me thinking.... Think anyone would notice if I dont make a video for a few weeks cause I'm designing all sorts of light tubes? LOL Rick
They just went live on the site. White: www.rallysportdirect.com/part/fog-lights/dd6181-diode-dynamics-ss3-pro-fog-light-kit-white Yellow: www.rallysportdirect.com/part/fog-lights/dd6179-diode-dynamics-ss3-pro-fog-light-kit-yellow Thanks! Rick
Interested as to why that is? it's funny, I truly thought everyone would say amber, but I'm blown away at how many people don't like them. I mean i like both, and maybe I still have a bit of ricer in me, but I love the look of the amber lights, it reminds me of the GT cars at Le Mans :) Rick
@@rallysportdirect It's not ricer man. It's smarter and more efficient. Amber (yellow or orange) is better in inclement conditions such as dirt, dust, fog, snow or rain - light doesnt reflect like it does with white. I know that subject has been written and talked about for years. I think some people either hate the look because jdm kids adopted it or because they think because white comes stock on their vehicles therefore it's the best option.
Yellow (or what everyone calls amber nowadays) so that they are actually functional unlike blue (what everyone calls white these days) which is terrible for your visibility and the visibility of everyone else on the road
So far I have been loving the yellow on these. Took it home a few times so I could do some longer drives in the dark and the fogs make a massive difference for sure. Now I;m itching to add more on the grill guard :) Rick
@@Catbert814 i agree but it seems the younger guys now call yellow lights amber, call white lights yellow, and call blue lights white for some odd reason. Maybe all their blue led's are ruining their vision, i know the ricer kids blue led's hurt my eyeballs. Maybe thats why blue blocker glasses are a thing. Silly ricers
Honestly disappointed in the vid. Was hoping for a wall shot of the amber ss3, and even better would have been real world comparison maybe against a large wall or something to see how they actually perform.

I'd install the Ambers as well. Easier on the eyes when you are actually using the fog lights.
IamWedge agreed! Ambers on the fogs are perfectly functional
I would run the Amber by far my favorite look.
Amber for sure the color temp should help cut through fog vs the white
did you use the sport or pro version ? i'm guessing you used the pro version but just want confirmation , clear option for me
We actually have the sport ambers on there right now(what you see in the video), and the clears in the video are the pro.

amber/yellow ALWAYS for fogs!!
Will these fit 2018 jeep grand Cherokee?
How are they for driving around the city? I have Baja's and they're way too bright for anything but trails (overpowers my morimoto hid retrofit). Had to disable SRF or people would be flashing me. Picked up a set of morimoto xb but haven't installed them yet.
Fantastic. I did adjust them a few times, but once I got them right(basically maxed out in the down position) they were perfect :)
Thanks,
Rick
Hey, great content! What bulbs did you go with for the low/high beams?
Thank you! And they are the Diode Dynamics Low beams found here: www.rallysportdirect.com/part/led-lighting/dd0217p-diode-dynamics-h11-sl1-led-low-beam-led-headlight-bulbs
I have not changed out the high beams yet, but I might be doing that soon. :)

Clear all day my friend!!! Keep it crystal clear
Amber is a must for fog light.
Never got to see the yellow output! Is like, you are only concentrating in showing how "stylish" they look". I really wanted to see the real life spread of the ss3 fog yellows.
In a video im working on I show the output of the yellow.
Thanks,
Rick
You saved me headache. I was going to install these but by taking out the entire bumper. Any tricks on getting centered so they aim downwards?
I would probably run the white lights as previous experience with PIAA yellow fog lights has proven to me that while they look cool on the vehicle, they actually make visibility worse due to the yellow hue color shifting everything and reducing contrast.

Definitely would rock the clear because you can always tint them amber if you want.
This is actually a good point. I don't think it would be 100% the same, but pretty dang close. Good call :)

I would rather just swap out the lens
Hi, I would like to know if when I replace my fog lights with this, will it remove the DRL? I am running Crosstrek 2018 base model which is the DRL is directed to fog lights. Thank you for your feedback in advance.
Amber is the way to go I have a set of Baja designs in mine but there not sae approved so these will be on my to buy list
I just put the baja designs on my frs. I am disappointed with the beam pattern, they were bought to use as fog lights yet they would not work as such since the pattern is so tall.
Yea there more of a driving light the output and visablity is great but they don't make a good fog light
Good to know. I was planning on running the B.D.'s on this car eventually, but then these came in and I don't see the reason now :)
Rick
@@rallysportdirect I am ordering mine now, but I gotta say. If they end up working out, Diode is giving Baja Designs a run for their money!
@@chrisginoc no not really sure the DD are good for the money , if budget isn't a issue the highend Baja design pods still blow them out of the water
What bumper guard is that? Looks really good!

Amber for sure!
I'd sure love some free fog lights. Love watching y'alls videos and look forward to seeing more of your land speed car!
The clear fog light!!!
Awesome video! I just installed mine, but not sure how to angle them downwards correctly because I adjusted the side bolts. Any help is appreciated!
Yo dude Ian after that bumper more than lights right now,can u throw the link to buy? Thx
Clear! Wife could use some new lights on the 19 trek!
What color trek?
Joe drives a Dodge dually. Crosstreks are for women. 🤣

Nice, you will love them :)
Thanks,
Rick
Any brackets to fit these fogs stock location on my 04 Forester
Are these available for an 06 impreza?
Just picked a pair of these up from DD (SS3 - Pros in amber) and they're AMAZING. Run, don't walk - you won't be sorry.
Clear looks great
Dude, you won. Message me, I wanna send you some lights :)
Rick
Amber all the way. One of the first things I did on my 2018 Crosstrek was putting yellow Lamin-x film on them.
😯 Those are AWESOME! 👍👍
What kind of front bumper is that?
That is the Warn front bumper :)

The ambers look better for sure!
Amber on my fiance's trek would look amazing!
Love it,I rather go with the clear, better for lighting and for off roading
Just got the ambers with the new plasma yellow. Primo! 👍🏼
Just bought these amber fogs, putting them on tomorrow, thanks for the vid
I would go for the white fog light.😬😬😬😬
I guess I'd finally mod my BRZ with these!
Amber SS3 is killer.
But the base STi would appreciate the Luxeon fogs that you giving away ;)

Rick
@@rallysportdirect you could probably just cnc the logo into a sheet of aluminum then attach to the light with some temperature rated adhesive
@@PortStbdFwdAft maybe, but I fear the light spread might be too great. I need concentrated light to burn logos onto peoples forehead :)
@@rallysportdirect I think this deserves it's own episode so you wont have any problems there
@@rallysportdirect guess you're going to have to make a video 😂
What power level were these?
I would probably go with the "amber" although it would be nice to see them in a real world application. Love you videos...💯🍻
Dope af getting them for my 15 wrx
Nice! You are going to love them!
Thanks,
Rick
Where can I get these?

Definitely Amber. 👍👍
Yellow over white. Gotta go with functional.
Are you still doing the giveaway!!!
I would go with clear.
Clear for me
You made the right choice
I’d love some for my wife’s 18XT in amber
Clear...
Amber for sure!
I would rather take the clear ones myself, would look great on either of my subaru's!
Amber for sure. Give those dog lights away!
Amber fog pro would be nice
Amber for the look !
Just subscribed! Love the content. I would run the clear for the most light. Is the giveaway over?
Thank you for the feedback :D and yes unfortunately the giveaway is over, however I can say from personal experience these fog lights at 100% worth it
I need ! Thanks 🙏
You remind me of a cross between rob dyrdek and Kevin pereira
I'll take it :) Normally I get Linus Sebastian which is not bad either lol. Could be much worse :)
Thanks,
Rick
I will install the ambers
You're going to love them! :)
Thanks,
Rick
4:30 holy shit i didn't know my monitor could produce so much light!
HAHAHA love it :)
Thanks,
