Sorry this is a bit late, I don't frequent this forum as much as other ones. I installed the Diode Dynamics SS3 Pro Yellow. They are fantastic and can't be beat by anything currently on the market, end of conversation. If you're curious how they perform against ANY LED aftermarket SAE Fog Light, check this thread out. There is no source out there that is this detailed or unbiased. He uses a light meter (very expensive might I add) made to measure LED as well as any other light source. Many others that you see test lights don't use the correct equipment and it causes inaccurate readings, Headlight Revolution on YouTube is one of those offenders. With light meters not designed for use with LED's, they overexaggerate the actual light output. In fact, his testing is so detailed that it called out Baja Designs due to having too much glare (causing it to bother oncoming traffic) and prompted Baja Designs to pause sales on their SAE fog lights and revise the design. Which they simply put a block off plate behind the lens that has small openings in it allow light only out of small rectangles in front of each LED. As you can imagine it reduced the output even more. Either way, even before the revision it performed worse the Diode Dynamics and Rigids, heck they are even dimmer than the OEM halogen Tacoma Fog Lights.
The LED SAE J583 Fog Pod & Fog Light Review
The reason to go with a Yellow (research selective yellow if you'd like) fog light is for better poor weather visibility and eye strain on the driver. In fact, I installed these in Nov the day before going on a deployment and didn't tell my wife. A couple weeks later there was a snow storm and she flipped on the fog lights for the first time since install and couldn't believe how much better she could see. She normally doesn't notice things like this. But I got a message when she got to work about how much she loved them! Thats a huge testament there! lol
I cannot stress to people enough to NOT waste their money on the Baja Designs SAE Fog Lights. They are abysmal at best! Also Baja Designs Wide Cornering are NOT SAE APPROVED, DON'T USE THEM AS FOG LIGHTS!!!! They make fantastic off road lights, but their SAE is not good. However on that note, there has been quite a bit of recent ONYX6 light bars that are having LED failures and moisture issues lately, quality dropping maybe? I hope not, because I want all companies to succeed since it just makes the whole market work harder to compete with each other and make better products.
Heres a run down of the power options of the SS3
-Sport Yellow SAE Fog Light - Lowest power, very good focus and equal to or better than almost any OEM fog light. They lens stays warm, but not warm enough to keep heavy build up of snow slush off.
-Pro Yellow SAE Fog Light (I own these) - Medium power, has more light bleed than the Sport or Max but still well within SAE standards, a more true selective yellow than the Sport and Max due to the use of a 4000 kelvin LED chip, which the Sport and Max us a 5000k LED chip. I prefer Pro because of the small amount of light bleed. It illuminates road signs just enough that they don't glare too bad and actually makes them easier to read because they are not bright white. The glare is not offensive to oncoming traffic or when in front of my wife while in my 01 Outback. Also the lens stays warm enough to melt snow/slush unlike the Sport.
- Max Yellow SAE Fog Light - HIGHEST POWER!!! Bar none the brightest and most focused SAE Fog Light you can buy, the price reflects that too though. Very good focus and insanely amazing output. My buddy has them on his Legacy that he drives 70 miles a day each way for work. I can absolutely say they are worth the money over the Pros if you can justify it yourself. Lens stays warm enough to melt snow and slush as well.
Here are some output shots (both with headlights off) of the OEM LED fog lights vs Diode Dynamics SS3 Pro Yellow. In this photo the OEM fog lights have been raised from the factory position as they come adjusted very low from the factory making them pretty much useless. The photo of the DD SS3's were before I aimed them a little lower, so keep that in mind. For reference wall is about 40-50 ft away from the front of the vehicle and I attempted to keep exposure long and brightness low to focus on the beam pattern and not blowing out the image.

In this photo is the DD SS3 Pro. Again, this is before adjusting them lower so keep that in mind. This wall 100+ feet away too. Photo taken on iPhone 11 Pro
