Is anyone using the Diode Dynamics bumper light bar?

I do.
I have the single combo unit. It puts out a lot of light. I also added yellow filters over the flood sections to cut down on glare a little.
You can see a little of it in my profile pic peeking out behind the feeder. (Before I added the filters)

Do you have any output shots of it?

I am pulling the trigger on this as soon as it is back in stock. I am tossing around either a double bar with 2 combo lights -or- ordering a 1 bar in flood and ordering 1 bar in driving separately. Curious as to which is going to put out the most light. Decisions, decisions...

I'll be losing my fog lights when my new bumper comes in. Can the single row be wired into the existing fog light harness and used for fogs only?

No shots of it, but it's very bright. I'm happy with it. I can't imagine needing more light.

I wouldn't. The light is too bright and no cutoff to be used for fogs. Also, without a programmer, it will cut off with the high beams, which is the opposite of what you would want.

Got a pic.

My high beams cut out when I turn the fogs now. Are you saying they shouldn't?

I wouldn't use the light bar as a Fog light. Look at their SS3 SAE Fogs as a replacement.

I was going to run the "combo" bar with my High beams on the open roads.

I think it is the other way around. The fogs should cut off when you have the high beams on. I think it is a law? You can turn this off with a Tazer.

Yeah. That.
I'm getting a bumper with a slot for a bank of 2" (I think) lights. I'm losing my fog lights when I take off the OEM bumper and all I want is a set of replacement fogs that'll fit the bumper. Trying to learn about options.

Stupid law that I'm pretty sure cops don't care about. I've had a similar "coding" to remove fog light dropoff with high beams for years in an old BMW and never had any trouble. Did the same with a Tazer ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Usually, with the High Beams on, you are trying to light up and see out in the distance. The problem with Fog Lights on with High Beams is it shines a lot of light right in front of the vehicle and interferes with the ability to focus and see out in the distance. This becomes more critical as speed increases.

I would suggest checking the local and state laws before changing the default light behavior. If it is being done strictly for off-road use, then it should not be an issue.

Soooo back on topic... Anyone have the Diode Dynamics set-up?
