So I recently purchased a RR arcus bumper and have intentions of installing some Diode Dynamics SS3 into the fog pockets. I'm curious if anyone has tried this combination and what you found as far as fitment goes? Which style of SS3 did you find to fit the best? Any issues you've run into?

Are you looking for Amber or white? We've got several options on our site. I'm happy to try and get you a good price on a fog light kit. From what I read on the RR site, OEM fog lights would fit so any SS3 pair that's designed to fit into the OEM spot should work just fine.

Did. Switched to Diode Dynamics SS3 fogs on my RR Arcus. No issues. Was easy and works fine. Can't remember the exact model of the DD SS3 fogs. It was the brighter, more expensive model but any of the available ss3s should work fine.

I've got the SS3 Max in my stock bumper and I'd recommend them. Super bright and an excellent cutoff so you won't be burning other drivers' retinas.

When I had a question about which Diode Dynamics fog lights I needed, for my particular bumper, I contacted them directly with a picture of the bumper and they responded very quickly. I purchased the amber SS3 sports and they are perfect for my needs.

I think you are asking about the style of bumper bracket. I put SS3's in my Venator and it used the "Type M" bracket. It's the more square one and it bolted right up. I'd guess Rugged Ridge used similar specs for the Arcus, so I'd try that one.

Yup, I should have clarified. The bracket/mount/surround is more what I'm seeking. Did you use the standard, round, or angled surround with the Type M bracket?

I'm going to assume only the 'round' style of surround works with the Type M bracket?

Yep. Round. The one labeled "Overland/Rubicon/Mojave Plastic Bumper" in the above. That's what worked on my Venator. It's possible the Rugged Ridge hardware can adapt for some of the other styles as well, but I'm not sure. I just know that one worked easily.

Perfect. Thank you. I'll probably give RR a call on Monday to clarify, but this seems like the direction to go.
