Upgrade your Tacoma’s fog lights with a true performance-driven solution. The SS3 Fog Light Bracket Kit delivers higher output intensity than any other 3-inch light on the market, while maintaining a clean, factory-style appearance. Using advanced TIR optics and precision-engineered mounting brackets, this kit provides dramatically improved visibility with a simple bolt-on, plug-and-play installation.
Designed, engineered, and assembled by Diode Dynamics, the SS3 fog kit is built for drivers who want real performance—not just LED looks.

Beam pattern and performance
-
SAE fog (FineLine optic):
- Extremely wide 80-degree horizontal spread
- Smooth output with a sharp cutoff to minimize glare
- Ideal for poor weather, night driving, and trail use
When installed as a pair and aimed correctly, the fog pattern meets SAE J583 standards for legal on-road use.
Backlight functionality
Each SS3 LED pod includes an integrated amber backlight that fully illuminates the TIR optic. This backlight can be wired to DRLs, parking lights, or another constant 12V source using the included harness, providing a clean accent light when the main beam is off.
