Who has Diode or Baja Fogs? Trying to decide

Answered my own question


ordered the set with what I got for xmas, now to set up an appointment for tint

Look what arrived earlier at noon

Speed Devil

End result of spec'ing both out on here on 4x4Truck LED's is essentially $330, and I think sooner delivery. Trying to decide so by Christmas, I will of placed the order.

That said, who has either and how do you like it. If you could again, would you choose the other or stay with whatcha got, and why?

Thanks in Advance

See, nobody had to help you. You're smart. You figured it out on your own lol.

But I was gonna say, go with the Diode Dynamics kit :)

BTW, here are the instructions for that kit (sorry we forgot to print them/include them in the box): https://img1.wsimg.com/blobby/go/66... Fog Light Instructions.pdf?ver=1639510398844

Thanks Adam, and they arrived fast, I thought they were on backorder too. Cat approves, he used it as a perch


So running all 3 on 1 is out of the question, seems I'll be doing Max pair 1 as the primary fogs, Max pair 2+Pro's on 2 and maybe if they're not too taxing, throw the Pods I got from my friend on there as well, gotta ask him what they are amp wise

Nope we've got tons of Diode Dynamics and Baja Designs in stock.

What's not available yet are the BACK-LIT versions of the SS3 or the Baja Designs Fog Pocket Kits. Otherwise we have plenty of lights & KR Off-Road mounting brackets.

Gotcha

Now got an img of backlights in action, wanna see what I'm missing out on

Diode is the way to go! I was going to do the same as you but ended up just ordering SS6 instead to save some $$. Hope to install it this winter.

Wait, had it wrong

4 Max's on 1, 2 pro's on 2 and maybe the pods as well, gotta just see what kit my friend got me is all

??? Just put each pair of lights on it's own switch.

3 Pairs of lights. 3 Switches

1 Switch for 1 Pair of Max
1 Switch for the 2nd Pair of Max
1 Switch for the SSC2

Hell do I need the other two switches for anyway

You have 6 switches to play with :)

3 Fogs
1 Roof Light Kit
1 Bumper Light
1 Pillar Kit

DONE! Unless you were going to install our ARB Compressor... and then yeah you'll be short 1 switch :)

I found the podlights my friend got me for my birthday: https://www.ebay.com/itm/133900046610, just how do I figure out how many amps they are?

Think it's 5, used this calculator , see it's 60w, and says it's 12 volts on the amazon description:

Adam won’t tell you this (because he won’t disparage the “competition”) but he knows it and I will state it - you should avoid inexpensive, poorly made LEDs at all costs. The color will be terrible, beam pattern scattered and likely cause RF interference as well. I am sure your friend meant well but those lights cannot be mounted in the company of the quality lights your purchased from @4x4TruckLEDs.com

BTW - your calculations are correct, they should draw 5 amps but, I would suggest using a multimeter to confirm the actual amperage (you may be surprised).

I didn't actually see his link earlier... but yeah... i mean... he got them free but yeah... those are just going to rust and fail in no time. Not exactly "competition".

Gotcha guys, so now what should I place there instead, as I like the placement and all, just want to match the fogs as well with the yellow

Glad at this point nothing happened, just a matter of how much time before they can squeeze me in and whats the best replacement, plus could I also add them was reverse lights to not insult my friend or naw

Installed but not wired*

I can remove them and be as good as new

Wait a second... I feel retarded, the pair together are 6 amps, not individually, right?
