Diode Dynamics Auxiliary Lights: Engineered Illumination You Can Trust

When it comes to auxiliary lighting, few names carry the credibility of Diode Dynamics. After over a decade in business, Diode Dynamics has become one of the most trusted names in automotive LED lighting, and their auxiliary light lineup is a prime example of why. Unlike many LED manufacturers, Diode Dynamics assembles and engineers products in the United States, enabling higher quality and faster integration of the newest and brightest LED technologies.

The Stage Series: Auxiliary Lighting Built for Real-World Performance

The heart of Diode Dynamics' auxiliary light offering is the Stage Series — a family of LED pods and light bars designed from the ground up for maximum functional output. The Stage Series Light Bars were inspired by the needs of a professional rally driver. The flagship of the pod lineup is the SS3: featuring higher output intensity than any other 3" light on the market, these LED pods have been designed for maximum functionality, with custom-engineered TIR optics shining in highly useful beam patterns, all in a durable package.

What sets the SS3 apart is the optics technology at its core. Traditional optics like reflectors or simple lenses lose light internally and to glare, so not all of the light shines on target. Instead, the custom-engineered TIR optic in the SS3 collects all of the light from the LED and directs it only where you need it, drastically reducing glare and improving total efficiency. The custom-molded TIR optic serves as both the optic and main lens for greater efficiency and light output (patent pending).

Choose Your Performance Level

Diode Dynamics offers the SS3 in three performance tiers to match any budget or build goal:

• Sport: The Sport model uses nine high-intensity LEDs for 14.5 watts of total power.
• Pro: The Pro model uses nine high-intensity LEDs for 36 watts of total power, more than double that of the Sport model.
• Max: The Max model is designed with cutting-edge automotive emitters for both high power and extreme intensity — if you're looking for the absolute best in lighting performance, the SS3 Max is the answer.

Functional Beam Patterns for Every Application

Stage Series beam patterns were designed with advanced optical simulation modeling to shape the output in highly functional beam patterns. Whether you need wide flood illumination for a worksite, focused driving light to supplement your high beams at speed, or a road-legal SAE fog pattern for adverse weather, there's an optic designed for the task. SAE Fog uses a distinctive FineLine optic design and provides an extremely wide field of view, with high-intensity output over an entire 80-degree spread. All Stage Series LED pods are available in cool white or selective yellow — the white is a 6000K color temperature matching most factory LED lighting, while the selective yellow is a 3000K color temperature, great for high contrast in poor weather or a distinctive look on the road.

Proven Durability and Compliance

Stage Series LED lighting has been extensively tested for long-term operation from -40 to 185 degrees F, along with vibration, moisture intrusion, and corrosion testing — all completed to SAE standards, just like factory components. The SS3's backlight is another standout detail: the SS3 LED Pod features a distinctive backlight in a brilliant amber color, giving you an additional accent light alongside the main beam, and the backlight fully illuminates the TIR optic for a more unique and modern look than the small indicator LEDs found in other products.

For enthusiasts who want a seamless installation, the SS3 Fog Light Bracket Kit can be installed on your vehicle in minutes — simply remove your factory fog light assembly and the Diode Dynamics unit bolts right in its place, with wire adapters included to connect to your factory bulb sockets and no additional wiring needed. From rock-crawling pod kits to high-output light bars, Diode Dynamics' auxiliary light selection is one of the most thoughtfully engineered in the industry.
