Diode Dynamics SSC1 Yellow Fog Lights installed

[quickstang1]

Ok, just took the time to install. I started with the passenger side and just turned the wheels all the way to the right. It took me about 20 minutes to do that side. I realized that I took too many screws out thinking I needed more space.

When I got to the driver's side, I turned the wheels all the way to the left and only removed the plastic air duct(see picture). That was enough room to get to the three screws holding in the fog light. This side only took me about 5 minutes.

The only complaint I have is that there's no way to check leveling when installing. There's a hinge in the mount for the light but once you tighten it down and mount it, there's no way to adjust it unless you take everything apart again. I won't be able to check beam pattern until it's dark tonight. Fingers crossed I did it right the first time.

Thanks for the update.

It is "just a fog light" but when my cell phone flash light is brighter then the fog lights on a 60K truck, that is a problem. They could of gave us something a little better.

Did you connect the back light to an aux switch? If so, how did that go?

I did not. Was too lazy to connect anything else. I got the yellow fogs and coded them to be on all the time anyway.

Coded meaning via Forscan? Or simply how you hooked up the power feed wire?

Not ready to raise pitchforks and torches yet but it is annoying when you see orders that self reported to be placed after your own be shipped and received already.

To be honest, still not too worried about it. I had a lot more free time in December and beginning of January to install them then I do now or in the near future.

I plan on connecting the backlights to my AUX 1 with my grille lights.

Yeah, I did a lot in forscan.

Interesting interesting. Ok thanks. I have zero Forscan experience but there are a few things I’d like to get from it. The fog lights stay on in hi beams is one and if possible to stop the excessive nanny not allowing you to search your usb music drive while moving. Anyway, thanks.

am i correct to assume that when you press the fog light button on the heal light dial under the steeering column, this is the stock way to turn these on/off. this is not wired to the aux 1-6 above correct?

So i currently have a 2024 Lariat, went to install my diode dynamics. Pulled the OEM fog lights out, and the bracket provided by diode dynamic doesn’t seem to match up.. any advice on this? Am i doing something wrong here?

They wont fit; return them
Their website is inaccurate as is their employee who commented in the FAQ section.

Thanks for validating my initial thought, we’ll see how this return process goes

let my experience be a cautionary tale for non raptor folks lol
