Lighting

Bumper-mounted driving lights

2023 Ford F-150 Tremor · 5.0L V8

What this turns on

The ADD front bumper was configured without center lights, which leaves that position open. These fill it. Bought alongside the headlights and the amber pods in the same order, and discounted on the same terms, which is disclosed on the component below.

SS5 White Sport LED Pod (pair)

Chosen

Diode Dynamics

Ordered

Ordered 22 Sep 2026 — on backorder, roughly four weeks

Part number: DD6769P · Combo beam

Why this option

White combo-beam pods for distance and spread, taking the center position the ADD bumper leaves open. Combo rather than spot or driving because the truck tows and the useful light is a wide pattern at moderate distance, not a narrow beam a long way out.

Trade-offs

An upgrade rather than a need - the truck is not short of light without them, and they went on the order because the position was there to fill. Backordered around four weeks, so they will not arrive with the rest of the order.

What it actually cost

Bought — cost not logged here yet.

Bought at a discount from Diode Dynamics, arranged directly with support from their team to bring this project to life. Nothing was supplied free, though the discount made it possible, no ongoing arrangement exists, and nothing about this write-up is owed to them — if these disappoint, that will appear here in the same detail as anything bought at full price.
