Coverage by product
| Product or component | Coverage |

What's covered
- Defective products are replaced with the same item, or a comparable one if it's been discontinued
- Diode Dynamics may replace just the failed component
- Finish defects caused by manufacturing, during the first 3 years
- Moisture beyond normal condensation that points to a seal failure, at Diode Dynamics' discretion
- Free tech support for the life of the product, even after the warranty ends
What's not covered
- Normal condensation, and paint or coating wear from regular use
- Installation or labor costs
- Improper installation or use, abuse, or opening, rewiring or repairing a product
- Swapping lenses on Stage Series lights voids the 3-year coverage (the 8-year coverage stays)
- Purchases from unauthorized sellers; coverage is for the original buyer and isn't transferable
How to make a Diode Dynamics claim
- Keep your proof of purchase; every claim needs it (gift recipients can register within 90 days of the original purchase instead)
- Request an RMA through Diode Dynamics' returns portal and work through diagnosis with their support team
- Nothing goes back without an RMA number; include photos for moisture claims
- For US customers, Diode Dynamics covers shipping on 3-year claims, plus return shipping for inspection on 8-year and lifetime claims

The Diode Dynamics SS3 Yellow Max LED Pod is one 3-inch Stage Series pod at the top Max power level, using modern TIR optics and Osram Boost HX LEDs. It's a universal light for trucks and SUVs, and the 3000K yellow output with an amber backlight gives you real forward or fog lighting from a compact cube.
Why it works
- TIR optics. Total internal reflection optics shape the beam tightly, which Diode Dynamics credits for the SS3's class-leading intensity.
- Color with a purpose. 3000K yellow is the choice when weather is part of the plan, since warmer light throws less glare back off rain, snow and dust.
- Tough housing. Powder-coated aluminum casting, polycarbonate lens, rubber gasket, passive pin-fin heatsink and an IP69K high-pressure waterproof rating.
- Clean wiring. Integrated Deutsch-style DT connector; runs -40°F to 185°F.
- Made in USA with global materials, per Diode Dynamics.
Options
- Beam pattern: SAE Fog — a wide, flat, low-cutoff beam built to the SAE fog standard for road use; Combo/Driving — reach plus a wider fill, a strong all-round forward pattern; SAE Driving — an SAE-compliant driving beam for use on the road.
- Backlight: amber accent glow, drawing about 0.4 watts on its own circuit.
- Quantity: one pod; Diode Dynamics also sells the SS3 Max as a pair.
Fitment
Universal — bumper, A-pillar, grille or fog pocket, wherever you can mount it solidly. Two SS3 pods can be joined into one unit with the SS3 Dual-Pod Bracket Kit. The pod is polarity specific, so wire it positive to positive.
Specs at a glance
- Color temperature: 3000K
- Power (watts): Main Beam: 38.5, Backlight: 0.4
- Current @ 12.8V (amps): Main Beam: 3, Backlight: 0.03

Warranty
Covered by Diode Dynamics' limited lifetime warranty: if a defect shows up, it gets diagnosed with Diode Dynamics and the light is replaced if necessary. Details are on our Diode Dynamics warranty page, and the rest of the Diode Dynamics lineup is a click away.

Diode Dynamics SS3 Yellow Max LED Pod (Single) FAQs
Is this one pod or two?
This listing is a single pod. Diode Dynamics also offers it as a pair.
Which beam pattern should I choose?
The SAE Fog and SAE Driving patterns are the road-compliant choices. Combo/Driving mixes reach and spread for off-road forward lighting.
How much power does it draw?
Diode Dynamics lists 38.5 watts and about 3 amps at 12.8V for the main beam, plus 0.4 watts for the backlight, per pod.
Can I mount two together?
Yes. The SS3 Dual-Pod Bracket Kit joins two SS3 pods into one unit and includes a DT splitter. Call or text the real humans at NVMOS, (920) 249-7744.
