I ordered the Baja Designs fog pocket kit from 4x4leds.com. The whites don’t fill in amber - at least not the ones I got. They give you different options. Check ‘em out!
Baja Designs doesn't have a back-lit light, only the Diode Dynamics kits we offer have that available as an upgrade.

At the risk of revealing some OCD issues, does Baja make screws that aren't silver?? Or, are they common and easy to purchase in black? Love the lights, not the silver screws at the corners.

You'd have to buy them in black. I don't think any manufacturer provides black screws as they cost more money

Just put my DD’s on yesterday. They’re aimed too high here but WOW they are awesome!!! SS3 Pro fog ambers, SS2 driving and floods. I didn’t land the back lites for the SS3’s yet.

I have these aimed a little better now, the white flood on the right side needs to come up a hair.

  1. Diode dynamics SAE Amber Fogs SS3 Pro inside pair
  2. DD SSC2 pro white floods middle set
  3. DD SSC2 pro white drivers outside set
the triple fog KR flush bezel kit is great. I had the bumper ends caps off and felt that I could have kept them off for when the fender deletes go on and still had a little protection from normal road use….but that’s a whole other discussion and something I’m not doing after seeing what the BFG’s do with rocks up your doors.

Looks great! How do you have your SSC2 backlights wired?

Thanks! From what I understand, the SSC2’s don’t come with a back lit option, only the SS3’s (which I haven’t landed yet).

Gotcha, thanks. My SSC2s came with a backlight and I added that as an option with the SS3. I’m installing this week but trying to decide if I want to wire into my parking lights (preferred) or aux switch. Looking for someone that has experience with tapping into the parking lights to see if any issues.

I ordered the same but no backlight on SS3. I think my plan is to wire the backlights into the same aux switch as the fogs so they will turn on when I turn on the fogs. Also planning on coupling the SSC2 off road lights to a single aux switch as well. That way I only use two switches instead of four.

Cool, but you won't see the backlight when the fogs are on... or am I missing something?

At any rate, mine are installed and work perfectly. I've got the backlight on all three pairs (SS3 offroad x 1, SSC2 fogs x 2) tied into the parking lights and the main light tied into the aux switches: one switch for each pair for a total of three switches. Now the backlight comes on with the parking lights and I can individually control the main light for each pair.

EDIT: Oh, wait, are you saying that your SS3s are the fog lights, so when you switch those on, the backlights on the SSC2s light up? Okay, I get it now.

It doesn't work that way. If you turn on the SSC2/SS3 light, the back-light function automatically turns off.

I wasn’t very clear in my post. I want to have to SSC2 backlights on when the SS3 fog lights are on. Is that not possible? The SS3 will not have a backlight so that’s not an option for me.
