About Diode Dynamics

Diode Dynamics is an automotive lighting manufacturer headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri. Every Stage Series product is designed, tested, and assembled in the USA. Diode Dynamics engineers their LED pods and brackets together not as separate afterthoughts which means fitment, light output geometry, and bracket rigidity are all validated as a system before the product ships. Stage Series pods are tested to SAE J575 durability standards. The result is a bracket and pod system that installs correctly, holds alignment under off-road conditions, and delivers consistent light output over years of use.

Frequently Asked Questions

What light pods fit the DD7364P brackets?
The brackets are designed for Diode Dynamics Stage Series standard-size pods: the SS3 (3-inch), the SSC2 (2-inch), and the current C2 2.0. The SSC1 is also compatible and can be mounted on the side of the bracket using a splitter. The SS3 Max pod is compatible when brackets are paired separately (no pre-assembled kit). SS5, SS6, and larger pods are not supported they are too large for this bracket style.

Are light pods included with this bracket kit?
No. This is a brackets-only kit. It includes two ditch light brackets (driver and passenger), mounting hardware, and a mounting guide. Light pods, wiring harness, and switch adapters are not included. If you want a complete plug-and-play system, order one of the full kit SKUs: DD7365 through DD7372, each of which includes brackets, SS3 or SSC2 pods, and a dual-output wiring harness.

How difficult is the installation?
Installation takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes and requires basic hand tools primarily a 10mm socket and extension to access the factory top fender bolt under the rubber cowl trim. No drilling, cutting, or permanent modification is needed. The brackets are labeled L (driver) and R (passenger) and face toward the outside of the vehicle. The brackets mount to the fender, not the hood, so the hood opens and closes freely after installation.

What is covered under the 8-year warranty?
Diode Dynamics warrants these Stage Series brackets for 8 years against defects in materials and workmanship. This covers the stainless steel bracket structure, the powder coat finish, and the mounting hardware. Warranty service is handled directly by Diode Dynamics in St. Louis, Missouri. If you purchase a complete ditch light kit (DD7365-DD7372), the LED pods are covered by a separate lifetime limited warranty.

Will installing these brackets void my Ford factory warranty?
No. Under the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, an aftermarket part cannot void your factory warranty unless the manufacturer or dealer can prove the aftermarket part directly caused the specific failure being claimed. These brackets use the factory fender bolt location, require no drilling or modification to any electrical system, and do not interact with any powertrain or safety components.

What is the Prop 65 warning for?
This product is subject to California Proposition 65. It contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm. The specific substance is not individually disclosed by Diode Dynamics; steel bracket products commonly trigger this warning due to the presence of materials introduced during manufacturing. For more information, visit www.p65warnings.ca.gov.

Does the DD7364P fit a 2020 or older F-150?
No. These brackets are designed specifically for the 14th-generation F-150 (2021-2026). The fender geometry and bolt location changed between the 2020 and 2021 model years. For 2015-2020 F-150 and 2017-2020 Raptor fitment, see Diode Dynamics part number DD6566 (brackets only) or the corresponding full-kit SKUs in the DD6500 family.

Does this bracket kit fit the F-150 Lightning?
Yes, for the 2022 and 2023 model years only. The F-150 Lightning (electric) shares the same fender architecture as the 14th-generation F-150 for those years and the brackets are confirmed compatible across the PRO, XLT, Lariat, and Platinum trims. The 2024 and newer Lightning has not been confirmed and is not listed in the fitment data.

Do these brackets fit an F-250, F-350, or Super Duty?
No. Diode Dynamics has stated in their product Q&A that these brackets were designed specifically around the F-150 fender architecture and have not been confirmed for any F-250 or Super Duty application. Do not order this part for a Super Duty.

Can I use automatic car washes after installing these brackets?
No. Diode Dynamics recommends against using automatic car washes with this kit installed. The high-pressure brushes and sprays in automatic car washes can stress the bracket mount and potentially damage the pod wiring if pods are attached. Hand washing is recommended.
