Installed dd pod lights. Install was very easy with their harness. The one thing I wish ford would have done is include a notch or removable tab of some sort for the wiring. I ended up running the wires to the lights the same route as the mirror wiring. Small half moon milled out of the mirror mount cap and ran the wires out to the lights.

30ish minute install.

That antenna seems to be in a poor spot to mount anything too large.

Other than that, looks great!

Slick.

What do these look like from the back? Do you have, or could you update us with a pic?

i was wondering if you noticed any specific times where you found the factory lighting to be inadequate? also did you order the auxiliary switch panel or did you need to add a switch to the dash?

Wow! This ditch light setup looks incredible on your Bronco.

Thank you for sharing your experience! As mentioned above, did you go with our sport, pro, or max power level?

It looks great, but I can't see how this setup won't illuminate the hood to the point it needs a matte black wrap to see past it.

I have the DD Pro fog lights in the bumper of my Tacoma, they work great.

Looking good! Just wondering if you considered Baja Designs and if so, what was the decision maker for going DD vs. BD? Both are great products and have been running DD exterior replacement bulbs in two vehicles for years now and a pair of white BD Squadron Sport fog lights on one vehicle and also have the yellow rock guard lense covers to pop on for fog conditions. I see DD has lens covers too which, is cool between both brands because you're basically getting two types of lights in one.

Looks good!
If you Remove the cowl the wiring fits real nice and they give you access to get it into the engine bay!

we are loving ours and will have a video out soon with the install guide and performance of them!

in the meantime anyone interested in a set let us know we always take care of our forum members!!

This may be a dumb question... But what the hell is a “cowl?” And where it it located? I’ve never installed my own lights before (hate drilling into my own vehicles). But if drilling can be avoided, I’ll give it a go myself!

One of the contributing factors to reducing hood glare is our patent-pending TIR optics.

Plus, that's awesome to hear you're rocking our SS3 LED pods on your Tacoma!
