Diode Dynamics SSC1 Ditch Light Hack

[BulletTheBronco]

Added some SSC1 Pods to my ditch light kit this past week and super happy with the results. Looks great and the amount of light this combo throws out is impressive especially for being just the sports and not the pro series.

Which bracket is that? I like that they’re dropped down low and somewhat “hidden”

Edit: realized they’re DV8 lights and found the brackets. This may be the solution I’ve been looking for. I need some side of vehicle illumination - but, don’t have the desire for “ditch lights” on the cowl and really want the side of the vehicle illuminated with tinted windows - especially in the winter.

I just wired them up yesterday and tried them last night - work great on @DV8offroad bracket, no hood reflection and no obstruction from windshield view at all. - from the front of bronco they line up with side views so they shouldn’t increase much drag/wind noise

if really want to hide check out the black mirrored GoRhino blackout cubed series

Looks good. I’ve got the SS3 sport amber SAE driving on the pillars currently and have been thinking about adding an extra set of SSC1 I already have in that same position for more side lighting on trails.

That bracket arrived as a Christmas gift for the Bronco. Really pleased with where it will position two sets of lights. It’s entirely out of line of sight, unless you’re using a massive light. Looking forward to adding it.

@DV8offroad honors a military discount too, I realized that after I had already bought it from @StickerFab.

I like the look of the two different sized lights - I thought my OCD would not approve, but I was wrong!

Love that low bracket look. Now if you could tie them to the turn signals, connecting to the other thread on that. I'm an accountant, not tech skills!

Yeah, aiming my SS3’s straight and the SSC1’s really gave me good all around light. I have the combo light in the SS3 and wide on the SSC1 and they pretty much give me light all around from the driver door to the passenger door without any breaks.
I wasn’t sure if I’d like the look of it or not and if not I would use them for back up lights but I like it now that it is on there.

How did you wire these, separately or do the sell a pig tail?

Pig tail as long as they are both 4 pin. The old ones without back lights are 2 pin I believe.

These might be another option if you don't already have the lights:

New Diode Dynamics in the box come with the correct pigtail. They are Deutsch 2pin or 4pin (depending on if you got the backlight or not) if you wanted to make up other harnesses.

Dang. I kinda dig that. I was planning on Baja S2 or Diode SSC2 and not a 3” cube…any wind noise? I wish you could buy the mounts separately. Maybe I’ll reach out.
