Diode Dynamics lights

[svc707]

I purposely made sure not to get the LED light package on my JL since I took pretty much off all of them from my JT.
I had plans to go all @Diode Dynamics and can’t wait to get these ELITE MAX headlamps installed. I’ll do some side by side comparisons too against factory halogen and factory LED.

What's the setup to mount the C1's, SS3's and C2's?

I have ss3 max/elite (highest-end ones can't remember their naming scheme) in the SAE yellow in place of my stock fogs, theykick ass.

I’m in the process of making my own bumper. Will be putting sae pro ss3 inside bumper. The ss3 pro combo on top . And the c2 pro as a pillar. Will do bumper rear facing c1 lights and maybe side perimeter too mounted up top

Has anyone gone from the OEM LED headlights to the DD headlights?

Is there a notable difference in the output........I know that could be very subjective.

I’ll do a side by side comparing all the options factory halogen vs factory led vs diode dynamic elite max

Progress on the bumper and light install

SS3 Pro SAE fogs with halogen headlights. The park is upsloped so you don’t get true depth but for sure it’s WIDE ?

I dont have any before pics unfortunately but here is my current setup, and I went from Factory LED light Package and EVERYTHING WAS AN IMPROVEMENT.

-SS5 Crosslink Lightbar in Sport Power Level - 6 Combo/2 Spot - Puts out about 1/4 mile worth of light. Backlight wired as Running Lights (like the old school cab clearance lights)
- Elite Pro Max Headlight - Absolutely amazing performance, leaps and bounds above factory LED and with the integrated turn signals I was able to chop the fenders with a regular chop bracket and saved $200. Wired the Offroad Light feature inline with Ditch Lights.
- SS3 Pro - Flood White Lens - Set up in Ditch position at 45° on side position on Crosslink windshield bracket. Between these and the headlights Offroad Light feature, I have 180° coverage when I am no lead vehicle and can't use my Lightbar.
- SS5 Pro - Combo Amber - Forward Facing A-Pillar position(on order) on Crosslink windshield bracket - This will be strictly for Dusty/Foggy Conditions
- SS3 Max - SAE Fog Lens Amber - Utterly insane performance, I can run just these at night on or off trail and drive with no additional lights. They are just that damn bright but they do not blind oncoming traffic due to their tight beam pattern and limited bleed.
- Series Rocklights and Hitchmount C1R Lightpod - damn good light output for their size and price. I have the rocklight high output hardwired inline with my other Aux LED rocklights into the bed light switch through a relay to free up an aux switch. Hitchmount C1R put out some good light in reverse and adds an additional 4th brake/flashing hazard light.

Plan is to add some chase lights down the road with either some SS2 or if Diode Dynamics comes out with their own Chase Lightbar.

Pretty much done with all the forward lights. Installed the Elite Max headlights just need to find the time to get all three vehicles lined up to do the side x side x side test ?

Next up fender shop to get rid of those halogens in the fender ?

I have the
SSD3Pros as ditch lights with amber covers
SSD3Max in the bumper with amber covers
SS18" light bar on the bumper linked to the ditch lights
SSC1s on the rack (back lit Red with running lights) and amber covers

Next will be another set of SSC1s up front with the ditch lights (back lit amber) on the same circuit at the SSC1s on the rack.

And a full set of rock light with a 4 pack kit for the bed

Maybe some SS5s on the bumper (back lit amber)

You replaced regular halogen headlights with the Elites? Did you need to use a Tazer or anything similar?
