Diode Dynamics Stage Series SS3 LED Pod Lights

The Diode Dynamics Stage Series SS3 LED Pod Lights set the benchmark for compact auxiliary lighting — engineered, assembled, and tested in the United States with performance that translates directly to real-world visibility. Whether navigating dark backroads, tackling off-road trails, or upgrading factory fog lights, the SS3 line delivers a purpose-built solution for drivers who refuse to compromise on illumination quality.

Patented TIR Optic Technology:

Every SS3 pod is built around a custom-engineered Total Internal Reflection (TIR) optic that serves a dual role as both the primary optic and the outer lens — a patented design that eliminates the light loss inherent in traditional reflector-and-lens combinations. By collecting all available light from the LED and directing it precisely where it's needed, the TIR architecture dramatically reduces glare while maximizing output efficiency. Competing designs can sacrifice up to 10% of total output through a secondary outer lens — a compromise the SS3 simply doesn't make.

Multiple Beam Patterns for Every Application:

All SS3 beam patterns are shaped using advanced optical simulation modeling for highly functional, real-world performance. Available patterns include SAE Fog, SAE Driving, Spot, Flood, and Combo. The SAE Fog pattern meets the SAE J583 standard as a certified fog lamp, while the SAE Driving pattern meets SAE J581 as an auxiliary high beam — making select configurations street-legal when properly installed and aimed in accordance with local regulations.

Three Output Levels — Sport, Pro, and Max:

The SS3 line is available at three distinct power levels to match any application or budget. All tiers utilize high-intensity LED emitters paired with TIR optics for superior focus and output. The Sport tier delivers exceptional value, the Pro tier doubles the total power output, and the Max tier leverages cutting-edge automotive-grade emitters for the absolute pinnacle of intensity and performance.

Integrated Backlight Accent:

Select SS3 variants feature a distinctive integrated backlight that fully illuminates the TIR optic, delivering a modern, premium appearance that sets the SS3 apart from pods with simple indicator LEDs. The backlight can be wired independently to any desired vehicle function using the included harness.
