One Pod, Two Colors, Zero Compromise
This is the Diode Dynamics SS3 Dual-Color LED Pod in a matched pair, offering selectable 6000K cool white and 3000K selective yellow output from a single lamp. A SmartSelect control wired through the fog light switch lets the driver choose the output color without adding a separate switch, and when installed and aimed as a pair per applicable regulations, the beam pattern meets SAE J583 fog lamp requirements for legal on-road use.
