Yes, please do! I am going to get this done once I work past the cost with the CFO( wife) 😂
unfortunately since I have a F-Sport I need the whole kit and caboodle to add foglights.

I partially installed the Diode Dynamic SS3 Yellow Sports Pods this weekend. I haven't wired them up yet, but I did place them into the bumper. It was way too hot in the garage to continue!
The fog light bezel does not abut the back of the F-sport bumper bezel, so there is a bit of a gap between the bumper bezel and the bezel of the DD SS3 pod. I'm not sure if that'll be a problem with moisture from rain or not, but I suppose I'll hopefully find out.
Once the weather cools down a little, I'll try wiring them up, and I'll give a more complete review of them.

Thanks.
Just to clarify, I'm using the Fog Sport Pods.

Wow results speak for themselves. Now I wonder what pro does, light up the tree tops and roof of all those houses?
Did you have to keep taking them out to adjust the beam up/down or did you just have it point slightly downwards from level position?
I wonder if @Diode Dynamics has an optimal angle these should be pointed without blinding oncoming traffic, so you can set it with a protractor before the install.

I like your protractor idea. That would make setting up the angle of the fog lights more exact. I did need to adjust them a few times. However, I adjusted them while they were installed on the car. They're still not at an equal angle relative to one another, but I'm not sure if it's worth the effort to try to make them equal. I'm very happy with the light output and they way that they look. I think that the color looks even better in person.
If you measure one side. you can easily set the angle on the other side, but both would have to come out again.

I think that you're really going to like them. I couldn't believe the difference between "no fog" vs. "with fog".
I have an F-sport also. To save a few bucks you can go to Home Depot and purchase M5 screws rather than paying for the OEM fog light screws. There is an appreciable price difference.

I used this link as my guide one of the most detailed and helpful for locating key areas (in my opinion)

My differences from the above install, I used the passenger side harness bulkhead to pass my signal wire Through the grommet to cabin. Also screwed my fogs from inside the bumper so you cannot remove the bezel and access the screw head to the fogs from frontal view only if your behind the bumper with wheel well liners off ( In my opinion it makes it harder for potential future thieves).
Thank You Peasodos I Preadjusted the brackets before install by eye. It worked out in my favor.
