Installation Instructions
Step 1 — Mount the Pods in Brackets
Install the supplied nuts into the pod housing with the nylon facing inward. Attach the bracket to the pod using the supplied screws and washers in the correct orientation. Tighten so the pod holds its position but can pivot for aiming.
Note for metal bumper vehicles (Type MR): Attach the included steel Type MR bracket to the back of the plastic Type M bracket using the included hardware. The second steel bracket attaches to the opposite side of the other lamp — when finished, one lamp should have a steel bracket on the right side and the other on the left.
Step 2 — Remove the Factory Fog Lights
Access your factory fog lights and disconnect the fog light connector from the vehicle wiring harness. Remove the factory fog light housing. The factory hardware will be reused.
Step 3 — Install the New Fog Lights
Install the new SS3 pod using the factory hardware. The tabs and holes on the bracket should align with the factory mounting points. Reuse the factory hardware and tighten securely. Use the included wire adapters to connect the pod to the vehicle wiring harness and test for functionality (if the light doesn't turn on, flip the connector 180 degrees). For backlit pods, connect the included 2-pin to 4-pin adapter wire in-line, then connect the backlight wire to a fused 12V source using the included T-taps. Repeat on the other side.
Aiming Instructions
Step 1 — Park 25 feet from a wall on a level surface.
Step 2 — Loosen the 5/32" Allen bolts on each SS3 pod just enough to allow adjustment.
Step 3 — Measure the distance from the ground to the center of the SS3 pod (mounting height).
Step 4 — Mark the mounting height on the wall with tape.
Step 5 — Add a second tape mark four inches below (fog light cutoff line).
Step 6 — Aim each SS3 pod so the top of the beam pattern aligns with the cutoff line.
Step 7 — Tighten the Allen bolts. Do not overtighten or use power tools. The install is complete.
