Diode Dynamics Sealed LED Pod Light

Diode Dynamics · SKU SAP-00364

Diode Dynamics is a US lighting company that designs LED pods and bulbs for trucks and off-road use. A sealed pod is a small, square or round lamp usually fitted in pairs, as ditch lights on the A-pillars, as fog lamps in the bumper, or as reverse lights on a hitch or bed. Because pods are compact, they get mounted in places that take spray and grit, so route the wiring away from heat and sharp edges and seal every connection.

Auxiliary and replacement LED lighting: sealed bars and pods for trucks that leave the tarmac, sequential tail lights, daytime running strips and puddle lamps. Sealing rating is the specification that decides whether one of these survives its first winter, and it is the one most listings leave out.

Common questions

Will the Diode Dynamics Sealed LED Pod Light fit my car?
You can order it now, and we confirm it fits before you pay. For this part, fit comes down to the mounting point, the power draw your wiring can carry, and whether the lamp is legal for on-road use where you drive. After you place the order, tell us the car's year, make and model, or the VIN, and what the part is for, either in the checkout notes or in the chat on this site. A person checks the part against that car and sends the invoice only once it is right. If it is not the right part, we cancel the order and you owe nothing.
Is the Diode Dynamics Sealed LED Pod Light new or used?
New. It is a new aftermarket part made by Diode Dynamics, not a used or rebuilt unit.
What warranty does the Diode Dynamics Sealed LED Pod Light have?
It carries Diode Dynamics's manufacturer warranty. Diode Dynamics's terms differ between product lines, so ask in the chat and we give you the terms for this exact part before you pay.
What IP rating should an LED light bar have?
For an LED light bar or pod on a truck, look for IP67 at minimum, which means dust-tight and able to survive temporary immersion. IP68 covers longer or deeper immersion as defined by the maker, and IP69K adds resistance to high-pressure, high-temperature washing. A light without a stated rating is a gamble in rain, snow, and road salt.
Are LED light bars legal to use on the road?
Most auxiliary LED light bars are sold for off-road use and are not legal to use on public roads in most states, especially as driving lights in traffic. Rules vary by state, and many require off-road lights to be covered on the road. Lamps marked as meeting DOT and SAE standards are the ones intended for street use.
Why do my LED turn signals blink fast?
Fast blinking, called hyperflash, happens because LED turn signals draw much less current than incandescent bulbs, so the car reads them as a burned-out bulb. The usual fixes are load resistors, an LED-compatible flasher relay, or coding the lighting module on cars that allow it. Load resistors get hot, so mount them on metal away from wiring.
What is a sequential LED tail light?
A sequential LED tail light lights its turn signal segments in order from the inside out, so the signal sweeps toward the direction of the turn. Aftermarket sequential tail lights are usually sold as left and right units, and installing them as a pair keeps both sides matched. Some vehicles need an adapter or module coding to avoid bulb-out warnings.
How do I install LED daytime running light strips?
LED daytime running light strips usually mount with adhesive tape or clips and wire into a switched power source, often through a relay or a dedicated harness. Clean the mounting surface well, keep wiring away from heat and moving parts, and seal any connections exposed to water. Check that the strip's brightness and color are legal for daytime running lights.
What is a puddle lamp?
A puddle lamp is a small light, usually under a side mirror or door, that lights the ground when the doors are unlocked or opened, so you can see puddles, curbs, and obstacles before stepping out. Projection puddle lamps add a logo or pattern. They are low-power and usually connect to the existing courtesy light circuit.
Why does my LED light bar have water inside?
Water inside an LED light bar or pod usually means the housing seal has failed, the lens is cracked, or the light was never truly sealed despite how it was marketed. Repeated freeze and thaw cycles make it worse. Once water reaches the circuit board, the LEDs and driver corrode, so a light with standing water typically needs replacing.

Checking the fit

We confirm the fit by hand on every order. Send your VIN, or the year, engine and trim, and a person checks this part against it before you pay.
