SS3 3-inch LED fog light pod upgrade kit for the Jeep Wrangler JL Sport and Gladiator JT Sport, Diode Dynamics DD8944.
The Diode Dynamics DD8944 SS3 LED Fog Light Kit replaces the factory fog lamp on the Jeep Wrangler JL Sport and Gladiator JT Sport with a pair of SS3 3-inch LED pods mounted in CAD-designed, vehicle-specific brackets that use the existing factory mounting points. The SS3 pod delivers significantly more usable light output than the factory halogen fog lamp it replaces. The kit is available in SAE-compliant Fog and Driving optics so the beam pattern stays street-legal while delivering significantly more usable light than the factory halogen fog lamp.

About Diode Dynamics
Diode Dynamics engineers the SS3 LED pod line to replace factory fog lamps with a modern, off-road-style look while keeping installation plug-and-play, and the DD8944 bracket kit extends that fitment engineering to this specific vehicle’s factory fog light opening with no cutting or splicing required.
FAQ
Is this a direct plug-and-play replacement for my factory fog lights?
Yes. The included vehicle-specific brackets bolt to the factory fog light mounting points, and the harness plugs into the factory connector.
Is this kit legal for on-road use?
Yes, when the SAE Fog or SAE Driving optic is selected, the beam pattern meets SAE compliance standards for street-legal use.
What is the difference between the Fog and Driving optics?
The Fog optic produces a wide, low-mounted beam suited to foul weather, while the Driving optic produces a longer-throw beam pattern for added forward visibility; both ship in SAE-compliant patterns.
Do I need to modify my bumper to install this kit?
No cutting or drilling is required. The included brackets are designed to use the existing factory fog light opening and mounting points.
What color temperature options are available?
This kit is available in 6000K cool white or 3000K selective yellow, depending on the color option selected at purchase.
Can I aim the pods after installation?
Yes. The mounting bracket allows the pod angle to be adjusted so the beam cutoff can be set correctly after the kit is installed.
How long is the warranty on this kit?
Diode Dynamics backs the SS3 LED pods in this kit with a 3-year limited warranty.
Will I need to splice any wires to install this kit?
No. The included harness is designed to plug directly into the factory fog light connector without splicing.
Installation Instructions
- Access the factory fog light, typically by removing fender liner fasteners or reaching behind the bumper, depending on the vehicle.
- Disconnect the factory fog light harness and remove the factory fog lamp assembly from its mounting location.
- Install the SS3 pod into the provided vehicle-specific bracket, then mount the bracket assembly in the factory fog light opening using the retained hardware.
- Connect the included wiring harness between the SS3 pod and the factory fog light connector, then route and secure any backlight tap wiring if applicable.
- Repeat for the opposite side, then aim both pods by parking 25 feet from a wall and adjusting each pod so the beam cutoff sits four inches below the measured mounting height.
