Default Elite Series Fog Lamps | Diode Dynamics

Elite Series Fog Lamps | Diode Dynamics-fsoltbf.jpg

Factory fog lights are built to meet minimum output requirements. Every aftermarket design available provides similar lackluster performance, but with an LED. The focus has been on LED appearance, not increased output. There has never been an aftermarket fog light designed from the ground up for performance - until now.
Diode Dynamics is excited to introduce our Elite Series Fog Lamps!


The first OE-style fog lights that were designed for true performance. With a custom-engineered patent-pending optic, multi-die automotive emitters, and high-power full-copper circuit boards, the Elite Series fog light delivers up to 5 times more output than halogen lamps. With a plug-and-play installation, this is one of the easiest and most effective upgrades you can make to improve your visibility in inclement weather.

Output that Outperforms. The Elite Series Fog Lamp is built around a highly-engineered single-piece PMMA lens. This optic was carefully designed using advanced optical simulation software to produce a light pattern that is wider than any other aftermarket fog lamp on the market, with an 80-degree spread of highly intense light. Even with this extremely wide band of light, the pattern is extremely smooth throughout, with an extremely sharp cutoff to avoid glare to other drivers, including a BMW-style “color flicker” at the very edge of the pattern. Diode Dynamics engineers accomplished all this while still meeting SAE F3 fog light standards, for legal on-road use. Please check your local laws and regulations for aiming, installation, and applicability.

White or Yellow. All Elite Series Fog Lamps are available in a cool white or selective yellow output color.

The white is a 6000K color temperature, which is a true cool white output. This will perfectly match other LEDs on your vehicle, such as DRLs or running lights. The white option also offers a premium BMW-style color band at the very top of the beam pattern.

The selective yellow option is 3000K in color temperature, which is great for high contrast in inclement weather, or in providing a distinctive look on the road. The yellow lamp consists of a yellow multi-die LED emitter paired with a yellow-tinted lens, to provide unmatched output and optical efficiency, even with the intense yellow output.

Backlight Functionality. All Elite Series Fog Lamps come standard with an integrated amber accent light. This backlight feature fully illuminates the main lens with amber LEDs, intended to match other position, sidemarker, or corner lights on your vehicle. This feature can be wired to any constant 12-volt source for your desired vehicle function, using the included tap connector. It will shut off automatically if the main beam is activated. Check local laws and regulations for acceptable use.

Bolt-On Fitment. Elite Series Fog Lamps can be installed on most vehicles in minutes. Simply remove your factory fog light assembly and ours will bolt right in its place, using sturdy glass-fiber-reinforced brackets. With built-in adjustment, the lamps can be aimed after installation. To wire them up, a pair of waterproof plug-and-play adapters are included to connect the lights to your factory bulb sockets.

Proven Reliability - Backed for 8 Years. Like our popular Stage Series lineup, Elite Series LED lamps have been extensively tested for long-term operation from -40 to 185 degrees F, along with vibration, moisture intrusion, and corrosion testing. All of these tests are completed to SAE standards, just like factory components on your vehicle. With integrated moisture-proof vents, the lamps can “breath” with changes in temperature, maintaining a strong seal over time. And with built-in circuit protection for voltage spikes and reverse polarity, these lights will keep working for years. They are backed by an industry-leading 8 year limited warranty.

Assembled with Quality - in the USA. Elite Series Fog Lamps are assembled in the USA using OEM-grade materials, including a precision aluminum casting, UV-coated outer lens, copper-core circuit board, and multi-die automotive emitters. After being assembled by Diode Dynamics in St. Louis, Missouri, they are robotically sealed with urethane epoxy for long-lasting protection against moisture, and packaged in form-fit foam for safe transportation. No expense has been spared, from materials to assembly, right here in America.

I made a post on yourtube but figured I'd ask here.

When you have the amber led backlight on and it's on all the time, is this a separate led that's inside the fog housing that is on, or is it the MAIN led that is just not illuminated all the way (I want to choose the select yellow fog)? I ask because what concerns me slightly is that if the amber led is always on, wouldn't that go against the max life of the LED, so for example if it was rated at 10k hours, if the amber led is on all the time, does that 10k hours reduce to 5k..etc. (I'm just throwing numbers out as examples).

I just missed the forth of july sale! :-( I didn't even know this was a product of yours until a day ago. Any chance of running another promo for forum members or anything coming up for Labor Day?

This looks perfect for exactly what I have been looking for on my newly aquired ct200h. It's going to pair really nicely with the rx350 bi-xenon projector retrofit that I am going to do!

Thanks,
-Nigel

Great question!

Our Elite Series fog lamps' main beam and backlight LED are separate. The backlight turns off when the main beam is activated. It's important to note the backlight LED chips are very low power. No need to worry about a product with a short life span (8-year warranty included).

Additionally, if you hang tight we're having our Labor Day sale coming up in September!

Thanks John! Much appreciated!

I have one last question as this was brought up in another thread somewhere that the OEM fog lights are directional meaning there is a left specific and right specific. I didn't see any mention of that with the elite series. I know the information states 80' degree viewing angle which is wide, but wanted to ask if there was a reason not going with a specific left/right setup which would yield an even wider beam pattern?

Can't wait to order these from ya'll.

Thanks for answering all my questions :-)

Our CT200h Elite Series fog lamps are labeled and designed for a left and right specific lamp. They're angled technically for this vehicle fitment. I've included pictures below for reference.

Here at Diode Dynamics, we take pride in designing SAE-compliant fog lamps for legal on-road use!

If you've installed our Elite Series Fog Lamps or an SS3 Fog Light Kit, properly aiming your new lights is essential for optimal performance, respecting the vision of other drivers, and general road legality.
