Diode Dynamics SS3 pro vs max

[Main Line Willys]

I am considering the @Diode Dynamics SS3 in yellow.
I have a '22 JTR with factory LED lights.

Will the Max still be plug and play with their higher current draws?
I don't know if the Diode Dynamic specs are for a single or pair of lights.
Main Beam Current (amps @ 12.8V): Sport: 1.1, Pro: 2.7, Max: 3
@smokeythecat posted his OEM fogs are pulling 1.7amps at 13.7 volts per single light.

Is the $630 Max worth the extra $200 over the Pro?
Anyone get the Pro and wish they had the Max or has anyone installed the Max and thought they were too bright for on road use.
I do live in a suburban area.

Any help or guidance is greatly appreciated.

For fogs I went Pro, I wanted output but not oh so much out put for that application. SAE Fog.

For my cowl lights I went w Max. Spots.

I went with pro. They are so bright and the beam pattern is so good, I have never wished I had bought the max. I can’t imagine needing more than the pro.

I have the Max in yellow. With the wide lens there is a sharp cutoff and it doesn’t blind traffic, I always drive with them on if it’s dark.
I don’t usually have a problem with the current draw, although I have noticed a couple times when one will turn off, then come back on (usually at a light or parked).

I have the Max-- they are fantastic, and yes to your original ?

Hey there!

We're just chiming in to state the SS3 Pro beam pattern is taller for more coverage.

Due to the taller pattern, you do have to aim them down a bit more to ensure legal on-road coverage.

Many users prefer the SS3 Max as the beam pattern is focused and the intensity is far higher than the SS3 Pro.

I have SSD3 Max in the bumper(replaced the OEM foglights) and I have the SSD3 Pros for ditch lights

Thank you everyone for your input.
I decided on the Yellow Max and placed my order this morning.

The deciding factor for me was that the yellow max and white max use the same LEDs, so if I wanted to change to white, all I have to do is swap lenses. At least that is my understanding.
Hopefully @Diode Dynamics can confirm.

Awesome choice going with our SS3 Max in yellow!

Yes, this statement is correct. The SS3 Max uses 6000K cool white Osram Boost-HX emitters behind the lens of the yellow and white/clear TIR optic.



Here is my vehicle with SS3 Max LED pods. I tend to switch to yellow in winter and white in the warmer months.

More importantly, @Diode Dynamics , when is the next sale? ?

Doh! My birthday was in January and everyone got me gift cards so I could buy fog lights, and now I gotta wait till July? ?

 

[Main Line Willys]

Installed the lights. Pretty simple install overall.
Of course I installed them the morning after switching the clocks for daylight savings.
I think it may be a while before I actually get to use them.

I will say I am impressed with the amount of light they put out in full sun.

Agreed. Waiting for a sale on fog light drop ins and ss3 pods.
