Foglight mod output

Theres alot of pictures of the foglight mod looking at the lights but i cant find anywhere what the output look like. Somebody wana post pics and what bulb they used?

 

If your talking about the switchbacks I heard the light output isnt great. I was curious about this too and would like to see some pics with healights off at night. Ive been planing on doing this mod.

 

Did it yesterday! I did it for looks, but the light output is just OK. No HUGE lighting difference between before and after. Just now the ground in front of me is more lit up. I used Silvania Bulb 4157.

Overall, love it.
This is just the pic I had , I can take one with headlights off tomorrow if you want.

 

Not gona be using switchbacks as brightest ones I found were only 600 lumen.

I wanted to see the beam created by doing the foglight mod to see if its even functional and worthwhile to buy a high lumen bulb.

 

i've got all the necessary parts needed to do this mod. im contemplating either doing this tomorrow, or doing a throttle body removal and cleaning

 

The only other problem is will the turn signal housings hold up to a high wattage bulb. Unless the bulb didn't create much heat.

 

did the mod. here's my story on it.

if you can, use the 2357 bulbs I used and cut off/shave down the taller nipple. both filaments will make contact and light up.

 

I did this on my first Tacoma and it had scorch marks from the bulbs being run for so long. I wouldn't recommend doing it again IMO unless you do LED or something.

 

This. Leds radiate less heat but they do get real hot at the base. For high power leds a heat sink is needed to stop them from over heating.

 

here's some more output samples while my truck was running and against a white wall. first pic is the headlights on as DRLs. second pic is with the switch turned forward once. turning on the fogs but not fully powering the headlights. third is everything turned on. in the third, the headlights become so bright that the fogs look darker than the second pic. not true, they stayed just as bright.

 

Or just don't do it cause it's a silly mod I did that mod in high school

 

But i love spending money on things i dont need! Plus i wana tinker with it and see if i cant get something functional. I know alot of people do it just for the looks but here in nl the fog can get rediculous and they help.

 

I suppose. But some aux lights work well for that. And they're designed for it

 

I have more than enough aux lighting and hid retrofits aha.

 

Here is an idea. I did these for a friend. These are used for headlights for some people

 

Wont fit 95-97 signals. That was my original plan.

 

These didn't fit the 01-04 but with lots of modifications it will

 

I mean theres literally only like 1.7" of height on the inside of housing.

 

There may be more space in the aftermarket signals i ordered. Well see when i get them.

 

Just get a plate bumper and be done with the lights in lower bumper all together
