How to Install: SS3 Type SV2 LED Fog Light Kit

The SS3 Type SV2 LED Fog Light Kit provides a substantial upgrade to your factory fog lights. The SS3 LED Pod Lights included in the kit feature higher output intensity than any other 3” light on the market! SS3 LED Pods Lights have been designed for maximum functionality, with custom-engineered TIR optics shining in highly useful beam patterns, all in a durable package.

With the included angled bezel, the SS3 Type SV2 LED Fog Light Kit has a clean, factory-style appearance, only much brighter! The kit is available in a 6000K White that matches most factory LEDs, or a 3000K Yellow to provide high contrast in poor weather conditions. The SS3 LED Pods in the kit also have an available amber backlight that adds a stylish accent light to your vehicle.

Thanks to custom-molded brackets, this LED fog light kit can be installed in minutes on a variety of vehicles, including the 2019-2021 Chevy Silverado 1500 and the 2020-2021 Chevy Silverado HD 2500/3500. The following installation guide will provide you with basic installation instructions on how to install the SS3 Type SV2 LED Fog Light Kit on your vehicle.

Mounting Instructions

Step 1 - Attach Pods to Brackets 

Install the supplied nuts into the pod housing with the nylon facing inward. 

Attach the bracket to the pod using the supplied screws and washers. Make sure the bracket is in the correct orientation. (see image below)

Note: Ensure that the screws are tightened so that the pod retains its position, but can pivot with force for aiming.

Step 2 - Remove Factory Fogs

Access your factory fog lights. Unplug the fog lamp connector and free the harness from the retaining clip using a flathead screwdriver.

Using a 7mm socket and ratchet remove the three (3) bolts holding the factory fog light housing in place. Remove the factory fog light housing. The factory bolts will be reused.

Step 3 - Install LED Pods

Install your assembled bracket and pod onto the vehicle by securing the three (3) original bolts with a 7mm socket and ratchet. 

Plug the SS3 into the factory fog light harness using the included DT wire adapter. Test function. If the light does not turn on, try flipping the connector 180°. 

If you purchased backlit SS3 pods, connect the backlight power wire to a fused 12V source to trigger the backlight feature (i.e. parking light or sidemarker); T-Taps are included for this purpose. 

NOTE: Check local laws and regulations for  on-road use of backlight features. Power source must be fused. Do not connect directly to the vehicle battery. 

Install the retaining clip from the factory harness into the back of your new bracket. Repeat the steps on the other side of  the vehicle.

Aiming Instructions

Step 1 - Position Vehicle

Park your vehicle 25 feet away from a wall or garage door on a level surface.

Step 2 - Loosen Allen Bolts

Loosen the 5/32” Allen bolts on each side of your SS3 LED pod just enough to allow you to adjust it.

Step 3 - Measure Mounting Height

On your vehicle, measure the distance between the ground and the center of your SS3 LED Pod. This is your mounting height.

Step 4 - Mark Mounting Height on Wall

Mark the mounting height on the wall or garage door using tape.

Step 5 - Mark Fog Cutoff Line

Add another piece of tape four inches below the mounting height. This is your fog light cutoff line.

Step 6 - Aim SS3 LED Pods

Aim your SS3 LED Pods on each side, so that the top of the beam pattern is on the cutoff line mark.

Step 7 - Tighten Allen Bolts 

Tighten the 5/32” Allen bolts back down. Do not overtighten or use power tools to torque them down.

Step 8 - Secure Fender Liner (Optional)

If you removed the fender liner, secure it to the bumper using the original hardware to complete the installation. Enjoy your new LED Fog Lights!
