👏🏽👏🏽 hell ya can’t wait to see these in the wild, and more video footage
You and me both!
I’m making a video of install and on road video here in the next few days. They are insane bright with a bettter beam pattern.
@@jmlcolorado nice I’ll be on the look out!
ua-cam.com/video/ZvYIiZTDeMw/v-deo.html
Has to be easily my favorite A pillar design
Thank you!
“20% more intense than ss3 max” Thats a pretty hefty claim to make without showing any real comparisons
We have videos coming soon, a lot going on here at TRS HQ for holiday season prep! (:
The SS3 Max has 4 HX boost LEDs and guess what you can only push the LEDs so far before you run into thermal regulation... Each HX Boost is 20w of rated power and 4 of them is 80w and it's too much heat dissipation for a 4 in housing to handle. It might be bright initially but after a few min it will get hit then it will lower the output a bit. Just like a computer cpu gets hot thermal throttles and fan kicks on to cool it. It's called active cooling and works great when in a dry enclosure vs all (mostly) outdoor lights can't use active cooling with a fan since dirt and water will shorten the life span so they need a passive cooling solution, which is a big hunk of metal and fins for air to move passively but theres a limit to that... IMHO .02
honestly at $500 anything you buy is going to be more than good enough.
Nice, perfect fit for the new 2022 civic Si that doesn’t come with Fog lights.
Time to add your own 👀👀
I would love to put these in the fog light location on my LR3!
Do it! 🤙
Got a video of the 11-16 super duty 4 banger install?
We don't, but our friends over at Headlight Revolution might!
Are y'all making 16-18 silverado 4banger fog lights applications?
Believe Morimoto is looking into more 4Banger applications, but nothing is confirmed as of right now.
Looks promising but how much will they cost and will there be a flush mount option
Costs coming soon, most vehicles will have a flush mounting option if there is a vehicle specific bracket!
Can you guys pls make 4banger brackets for fwd Hondas, the XB morimoto fog lights I currently have are crap
I'm sure there will be many more brackets to come for these!
Currently running the XB LED Fogs with the XB LED headlights on my 18 F150. How do these 4banger wide compare to the XB foglights as far as light output?
Much much brighter! These compete with other similar pod fog lights!
Lifetime warranty. Count me in!
Best part is that peace of mind that you'll be covered!
I want some
Get you someeee!
When will they be available? My sxs is in dire need of extra lighting
They go live tomorrow!
Will there be a kit to replace the 22 Superduty fog light?
We have one!

First to comment. Yay myself.. 👍🏻👍🏻
🎉
Is the Wide beam pattern going to be SAE J583 certified? This is the first time I heard it mentioned that it will be. Also, when you have an updated video on testing, please show in the results the output after temperature stabilization 20-30 min of runtime. Many manufactures use initial brightness as their listed specification. It is somewhat of a meaningless claim of brightness if after 15min + runtime they stabilize to less than that of other lights. This is very noticeable with Baja Designs and I'm curious how these will compare in that aspect as the housing and heat sinks are not as significant as others, like the Diode Dynamics. I really question the claim of "20%" more intensity than the SS3 Max, especially after temp stabilization. Especially knowing the same LED chip is used on both (4Banger HXB and SS3 Max), there is 1 less LED in the 4Banger and that DD is the originator of TIR in mass use. Either way, I'm curious to see legitimate testing done (unlike HR's videos) and competition is always good as it forces improvement from other manufactures.
The wide beam pattern is designed to be SAE J583 compliant.
HXB stabilization happens around the 20-30 min mark, if you check HXB and SS3 Max after 15 mins, SS3 is about the same brightness. At the 1h mark, then HXB will show higher brightness.
Using one less emitter has nothing to do with the overall brightness. It is driven harder on each emitter and also, beam focus composition is different.
Each emitter can be driven harder since the cooling design of the 4Banger is much more efficient than that of competitors.
The reason HXB can be brighter, is simply because it was designed to create a center hot spot, just as many OEM fog lights do.
Also, DD is NOT the originator of TIR, TIR was introduced to the market by Philips back in 2001. Many automotive applications have used TIR optics the last 20 years. This is not a new tech. Don't get me wrong... the SS3 is a great light and Diode did a good job. TRS is one of Diode's biggest customers! But don't spend too much time stuck on the lens tech. It's not owned or invented by either brand.
I just installed these on my 2013 ram and they are intense. I’m actually more impressed with these than I was with the XB headlights. And I was very impressed with those.
Hey buddy is your stuff available in the uk?
It is! We ship internationally!
Hey guys, currently running the XB projectors in my Tacoma. just wondering if these are direct plug and play like the xbs in the same configuration or do you need to run the separate harness? Please let me know, it will help make a decision on whether i'm ordering some Monday
These require a separate harness!
Mine plugged directly into my factory fog harness on my 2013 ram.
I just got them in. They came with everything for plug and play. Thx
Are these SAE compliant for street use?
With a -3 degree aim, the NCS wide beam is compliant according to the SAE F3 regulation for use as a fog light
The man himself! ^^
@@mattkossoff5841 So if installed as a fog on my 16 F150, how do you adjust the fog to get that -3 degree angle. Is there some graduations on the housing.
How good will the combo white work on a camaro as fog light ?
I wouldn't recommend combo for fog use, the beam is too high and will blind other drivers. Wide would work great though!
@@RetrofitSource I have the morimoto xb fog lights installed in my camaro that I purchased years ago from RetrofitSource I need something to help me see farther at night, I just purchased the gtr ultra 2 light from you guys can you tell me how good is it ? It works as two in one ? Low beam and high beam ?
The GTR Ultra 2 is great!
As far as the other questions, I can't answer those without knowing the year of your Camaro.
Does it fit with 2021 honda accord fog light?
You can make them work! (:
Need a solution for the SuperDuty with the factory LED fog light.
Check our website for fitment and compatibility options!
@@RetrofitSource, I did. Nothing available for a 2022.

The OEM LED fogs are not compatible at this time.
@@RetrofitSource, yes, which is why my original comment says "Need a solution for the SuperDuty with the factory LED fog light."
There is nothing at this time.
Need a kit for 5th gen Outback
Shoot us an email! We can get you set up!
do we know what the price is yet?
No prices have bee released just yet! Soon!
Is the amber a yellow amber or orange amber?
Yellow!
@@RetrofitSource Excellent, thank you for the quick response.
Do you guys need a 2021 f140 for a video?
Potentially 👀
@@RetrofitSource I meant to say f150. I got fat thumbs.
I knew what you mean't 😉
I suppose I could try to hide these and use them as my high beams
🤔🤔🤔
@@RetrofitSource shhhhh, they won’t notice. I might hide them in the grill
"Wide" and "Fog" optic patterns are not the same, and SAE J583 compliance is critical for a legal and useful fog light. By using the terms "fog beam" and "wide beam" and "SAE beam" interchangeably, you're muddying the waters here a lot. These are not going to be useful or legal to use as a fog light, and the pattern is much too narrow.
Tory, thanks for your input, and you're right. To clarify, the 4Banger NCS wide beam will be compliant with the latest SAE F3 regulation for a fog light, though the 4Banger HXB wide beam is not.
@@mattkossoff5841 thanks for your response Matt!
Got a reply from the man himself!
I need help About my car ,, i need to buying ballast for my Dodge Charger 2013 my light is d3s osram 35 w ,, I cannot find ballast osram so I don’t know what i will do “ i am from Saudi Arabia so please I need your help??🥲

How much of the monies ???💵💵💵
Prices and more info go live tomorrow!
@@RetrofitSource right on! I’ve been patiently waiting for these to go live. I’ll be picking up a set for the Pillar lights on my Trailhawk 🤘🏻
Make sure to leave a review when you get them installed! (:
wish it didnt cost so much :(
Priced similarly to other LED pods on the market!
Buy once, Cry once. Have a buddy who has gone through 4 sets of cheap LED headlights, string of failures, poor performance. Buy quality once and skip these issues.
You live only once. Money comes and goes! I’m definitely getting these this summer.
