    Looks great! I got the same for my headlights but went with yellow bulbs for my fogs. Do you rub with those tires? You're on stock suspension, right?

    The PIAA light bulbs are halogens: H4 (for the headlights) and H11 (for the fog lights).

    The lights are awesome! Super bright and a clean look.

    The tires don't rub at all, but I haven't taken it offroading yet to really test them out.

    Did you notice a difference with the new new bulbs? Are they clearer? Do they penetrate rain and snow better?

    The PIAA bulbs are definitely a lot brighter and clearer than the stock bulbs.

    I haven't had a chance to drive at night through rain (or snow), but I'm sure they'll perform much better than stock!

    Noise is not bad at all! Just a little "hum" at high speeds, but definitely acceptable.

    I used to run 40-inch Super Swampers on a previous truck, and you couldn't even talk to the person next to you they were so loud lol...

    Nice truck!

    Amazing how a $30 investment in a TRD Grille Badge can make so much of a difference :)
