    Diode Dynamics just announced new kits available for the 5th gen 4Runner. If you're not familiar with Diode Dynamics, all of their lights use TIR (total internal reflection) optics. These optics are much more advanced than standard projectors or reflector cones. They're designed to capture all of the light leaving an LED chip and direct it off of a controlled surface, which reduces unneeded glare and increases intensity.

    The first is an upper grill mounting kit for dual 6" bar driving beams. They are SAE J581 compliant, which means they are street legal to use as auxiliary high beams. This is the first bolt-on implementation I've seen for the 4Runner, and it makes a great option for people looking to get the most use out of their lights. They also have introduced stealth kits to mount their 30" bars in the lower grill (1 or 2).



    I must say that I prefer my version using their 4000K SS3 pro lamps, but I had to design custom brackets in order to make them work.

    The next product is ditch light brackets, to which you can use universally with any light, or option SS3 or SSC2 lights. Nothing ground-breaking here but their brackets are well-designed.

    I went to order the SS3 fogs (pro level) this morning and it said sold out, won't ship to July. Looked again just now and said in stock. Order placed!

    You'll love em! Best fog lights on the market (all three levels sport, pro, and max are the top 3 recommendations on the fog light thread).

    If you can stand waiting, Diode usually does a Memorial Day sale that you can expect 15 or 20% off from. And Hotshot Offroad will honor those prices plus free shipping. Might consider canceling your order, just a suggestion.

    Thanks for mentioning this!

    They have 15% off and a free hat with orders over $300.

    I guess it might be time to pull the trigger on the SS3 fogs. I'm looking at yellow ones in the Pro power level.

    Interesting. All orders that routed through me of those kits shipped... I know a bunch of light bars were wiggling this week so I am guessing they should be taking care of yours soon :notsure:
    If you don't want/need the hat I am currently offering the same 15% w/free shipping and NO TAX. :D

    We could probably make something like that happen especially if you’re looking at something in stock! Shoot me a pm with what you’re after and I’ll let you know what I can do.

    Generally UPS ground is no more than 4 days to even Florida coming from MT here. Glad they had what you were after in stock!
