Product Overview
Get white and selective yellow fog lighting from one compact lamp with the Diode Dynamics SS3 Dual-Color LED Pod Pair. Each pod produces selectable 6000K cool white or 3000K selective yellow output without requiring interchangeable lenses or a separate dashboard selector switch.
SmartSelect technology allows the main-beam color to be programmed using the vehicle’s existing fog-light switch. Both colors use the same focused SAE Fog optic, providing a wide, controlled beam with a sharp cutoff.
This universal kit also includes an independent amber backlight and adjustable mounting brackets for custom installations on compatible vehicles.
Key Features & Benefits
Selectable White and Yellow Output
Each SS3 Dual-Color LED Pod produces two different main-beam colors from one lamp:
- 6000K cool white for a crisp, modern appearance
- 3000K selective yellow for greater visual contrast in rain, snow, fog, and dust
Changing colors does not require replacing the lens, removing the pod, or purchasing separate lamps.
SmartSelect Control Through the Existing Switch
Diode Dynamics SmartSelect technology allows you to select and save the preferred output color using the existing fog-light switch.
No additional white-and-yellow selector switch is required. The selected color is stored after the programming sequence is completed.
Purpose-Built Dual-Color Power Level
The SS3 Dual-Color uses one purpose-built output level positioned between the single-color SS3 Sport and Pro models.
This configuration balances usable fog-light output with the additional circuitry and selectable-color functionality required to produce white and yellow light from the same pod.
Focused SAE Fog Pattern
Both main-beam colors use the same custom-engineered Total Internal Reflection fog optic.
The TIR optic collects and directs the LED output into a wide, controlled beam with a sharp cutoff. Switching between white and yellow changes the light color without changing the beam pattern, aiming, or optic.
SAE J583 Fog-Lamp Performance
When installed as a pair and aimed according to applicable regulations, the SS3 Dual-Color Fog pattern meets SAE J583 requirements for use as a fog lamp.
Road-use requirements can vary by location and application. Confirm local laws governing installation height, aiming, color, switching, and permitted vehicle use.
Integrated Amber Backlight
Each SS3 Dual-Color pod includes an independent amber backlight that fully illuminates the TIR optic.
The backlight is separate from the white and yellow main beam. It can be connected to a compatible vehicle function to provide a distinctive accent when the primary fog beam is not operating.
Universal Adjustable Mounting Brackets
The included universal brackets support custom installations across a wide range of compatible vehicles and mounting locations.
Their adjustable design allows the pods to be positioned and aimed for the intended fog-light application. Vehicle-specific brackets, bezels, or fabrication may be required depending on the installation.
Durable Aluminum Construction
The SS3 Dual-Color LED Pods use durable aluminum housings designed for automotive and powersports environments.
Stage Series lighting has undergone long-term operating tests from -40°F to 185°F, along with vibration, moisture-intrusion, and corrosion testing.
Engineered and Assembled in the USA
Diode Dynamics engineers, tests, and assembles its Stage Series lighting products in the United States using globally sourced materials.
This provides direct control over product engineering, optical performance, testing, and assembly.
Performance, Compatibility & Use Cases
The Universal SS3 Dual-Color LED Pods are designed for custom fog-light installations requiring selectable white and yellow output.
Suitable applications may include:
- Custom automotive fog-light installations
- Trucks, SUVs, crossovers, and cars
- Vehicles operating in changing weather conditions
- Drivers wanting white and yellow output without changing lenses
- Projects requiring a wide, controlled SAE Fog beam
- Builds using an independent amber accent backlight
- Replacement of compatible universal auxiliary fog lights
These are universal pods rather than a complete vehicle-specific fog-light kit. Confirm the available mounting space, bracket location, wiring, switch operation, electrical compatibility, and applicable regulations before ordering.
Installation, Fitment & Technical Details
SmartSelect Color Programming
Use the following procedure to select the preferred main-beam color:
- Turn the fog lights on and off three times.
- Leave each on or off state active for at least half a second but no longer than five seconds.
- The pods will enter programming mode and cycle through the available colors twice.
- When the preferred color appears, leave the fog lights on for at least five seconds.
- The selected color will then be saved.
If no color is selected during the two complete cycles, the lamps return to white as the default setting.
Universal Installation Requirements
The included brackets provide an adjustable mounting solution, but installation requirements vary by vehicle.
A complete installation may require:
- A suitable structural mounting location
- Application-specific fasteners or fabrication
- Compatible wiring and circuit protection
- Connection to the factory fog-light circuit
- A separate connection for the amber backlight
- Proper beam aiming after installation
The two included Deutsch-style pigtails provide the pod-side wiring connection. Additional wiring, switches, adapters, relays, or harness components may be required for the specific vehicle.

Get White and Yellow Fog Output From One SS3 Pod
Adapt your fog-light output to changing driving conditions without changing lenses or installing two separate sets of lights. The SS3 Dual-Color combines selectable 6000K white and 3000K yellow output, a focused SAE Fog pattern, SmartSelect control, and amber backlighting in one universal pod pair.
Confirm your mounting, wiring, aiming, and local road-use requirements before installation.
Frequently Asked Questions About SS3 Dual-Color LED Pods
Yes. Each pod can produce either 6000K cool white or 3000K selective yellow main-beam output. SmartSelect technology lets you choose and save the preferred color.
Cycle the fog lights on and off three times, leaving each state active for at least half a second but no longer than five seconds. The pods will cycle through both colors, allowing you to save the preferred selection.
No additional color-selection switch is required when the pods are installed with a compatible fog-light circuit. SmartSelect programming uses the existing fog-light switch to select white or yellow.
If no selection is saved after two complete color cycles, the SS3 Dual-Color pods return to white as the default setting.
No. Both white and yellow output use the same SAE Fog optic. Changing colors does not change the beam shape or aiming.
When installed as a pair and aimed according to applicable regulations, the fog pattern meets SAE J583 requirements. Confirm local rules for installation, aiming, light color, and vehicle application.
The Dual-Color SS3 is offered in one purpose-built output level positioned between the single-color SS3 Sport and Pro models. It is not offered in separate Sport, Pro, or Max versions.
