Baja Design vs Diode Dynamics - Fog lights comparison
With the camera exposure settings being manual, I am able to show you the accurate difference between the two lights, brightness, range, and color temperature too.
Spoiler alert:
Diode Dynamics fog lights has better cut off, so it is definitely more suitable for on-road usage. However, due to the better cut off, any area outside of the beam pattern will not be lit at all so it may not be ideal for offroad usage. Meanwhile, Baja Designs Squadron Sport Wide cornering has decent focus and not too sharp of a cut off, it allows light to spill outside of the focused pattern and therefore, illuminates adjacent areas better, which makes it more ideal for offroad usage. Both lights has their place, it all comes down to what your needs are.
Also, I throw in some footages of my ditch lights (rigid d-ss pro driving pattern) and big led pods (Auxbeam 9 inch driving lights) for comparison.
Side note, I understand the Baja Design Squadron has their SAE version, however it has exactly the same beam pattern with wide-cornering and is just a dimmer version of the sport or pro. Therefore, it will still produce spill/glare to the on-coming traffic. I know Baja Design just announced their new SAE lens design so I will sure be testing them out once they become available.

    Having owned the DD sport sae amber and now currently BD sport wide cornering, I liked that my DD’s wired directly to my Jeep fog switch. But the BD light output is superior and the video shows this clearly. I love the powerful even spread, even its not quite as wide. I only use them for dark highway driving or off road though. The BD will blind oncoming traffic and my DD’s never got me flashed. Excellent and accurate video

    Diode Dynamics also have their SS3 Max fog lights, which are even brighter than the Pro, yet remain SAE compliant. Most of my driving is on road, so the DD made more sense for me.

    Just curious how you aimed both sets of fogs perfectly forward in order to be able to judge the difference in beam width… one can easily just aim the housings slightly outward if they wanted wider pattern. I ask because my flushmount BD wides are mounted on a flat forward facing portion of my bumper, and angling the lights outward is not as simple.

    This video isn't comparable since DD is SAE-compliant and the BD pods you're using don't include the new insert that limits the light output to be SAE-compliant. The old reflector optic you have in this video blinds on-coming traffic and isn't road legal.

    Not a great comparsion between the two lights. It is apples to oranges, you should have compared the Baja Designs Squadron PRO not the SPORT. They are on an uneven playing field, which is why the Diode light appears to have more output. I would recommend comparing both PRO models.
