DIODE DYNAMICS DD6181 SS3 Pro Type A Kit

Product Information

The SS3 Type A Foglight Kit is a high-quality fog light kit designed for various Acura, Ford, Honda, Nissan, and Subaru models. It is CAD-designed to utilize existing mounting points, ensuring easy installation. The kit includes the SS3 3 LED Pod, which provides powerful lighting performance.

Product Usage Instructions

1. Park your vehicle 25 feet away from a wall or garage door on a level surface.
2. Loosen the 5/32 allen bolts on each side of your SS3 pod just enough to allow you to adjust the pod.
3. Measure the distance between the ground and the center of your SS3 pod on your vehicle. This is your mounting height.
4. Mark the mounting height on the wall or garage door using tape.
5. Add another piece of tape four inches below the mounting height. This is your fog light cutoff line.
6. Aim your SS3 pods on each side so that the top of the beam pattern aligns with the cutoff line mark.
7. Tighten the 5/32 allen bolts back down to complete the installation. Do not overtighten or use power tools to torque them down.
8. Measure the lamp height to center at 25 feet.
9. Ensure the vehicle is level.
10. Make sure the top of the beam pattern aligns with the fog light cutoff line mark.
11. After aiming, there may be a small gap at the bottom of the LED pod. This is normal. If you have any questions about the installation or wiring process, please contact Diode Dynamics at 314-205-3033 (10a-5p CST) or contact@diodedy.namics.com
