PRO fogs into TRDOR

Pretty damn bright but comparing led to halogen is hard....

 

I got that kit but haven't installed it yet. I got it for less than half of what the Pro fogs cost.

 

I installed those super easy, any holes drilled would be covered if you went back to stock. I absolutely love them. I was going to go with the trd pro fogs because they do look a lot nicer. But for the driving I do I need light and dang are the rigid DOT approved fogs awesome and bright! Attached are a photo at night dims and fogs, fogs are actually brighter than my dims. I also used a paint pen to paint the screw heads black. I'm very happy with them. I got some adapters as well so they are plugged right into the stock switch. Super easy no flicker or issues whatsoever.

 

Thanks!!! This is EXACTLY what I wanted to see / hear! haha you wouldnt happen to have a write up on how you installed them? or a copy of the instructions you could post or email?

Also, can you post the link for the adapter that you used? I dont mind drilling some tiny holes that would remain covered if I went back to stock.

 

exactly. I found them on Amazon for $228

 

These are the adapters I used

I didn't do a write up the instructions are pretty good that came with the lights. You will have to remove a few screws and clips in the fender wells and I held it back with a bungie cord its pretty flexible so you won't break it. This part was the biggest pain but overall its not a super difficult install.

 

awesome! thanks! posts like this make the forums really worth it. haha

 

Also do not put everything back together in the fender wells until you have aligned the lights against a garage door and I even tucked the wheel well cover back up and took a slow test drive at night before I buttoned everything up.

 

Exactly. That's where mine came from too

 

Awesome. Thanks for the help.

 

Looks great. I like that look better than the Pro fogs

 

I have the Baja Design Squadron Pro R ( 4 900 lumens per side) and they do "blow" them away. But these are not things you can
drive around at night as you'll blind everyone coming your way. The Rigid are DOT legal and I guess
you can drive with them on. The only issue with the Bajas are they don't fit perfectly and there is a gap unlike the Rigid. They
are plug and play (no drilling) and hook up to my fog light switch on the stalk.

 

Do you drive with the fogs on the street? I feel like they would blind the crap out of any incoming traffic or the car in front of you.

 

Yeah I do, they don't blind cars any worse than the stock fog lights on my '15 Tacoma did. I personally think people are over sensitive to lights, American cars put dangerously dim lights in their vehicles and American drivers have grown accustomed to dim lights from oncoming traffic when if you look at most European vehicles the lights are super bright and safe for the driver. If people were just taught to correctly drive and not stare into oncoming traffic lights like a dumb deer but instead look at the fog line there would be no problem. Sorry for the rant but your average driver is a moron who is distracted or was never taught to drive properly since they just hand out licenses these days.

 

Light bars maybe but not worth the cost for a fog lights. There are so many lower priced and equally good LED fog light options out there.

 

Bro, liking your Pro grill! What is that hump above the grill? Bug shield?

 

Thanks. It's the AVS aeroskin II. I don't know if it's for bugs or not I just got it to protect against rock chips.

 

Could you pm me where you got it and price?
I think I just found another item to add to my Taco list.

 

They look nice and put out a fair amount of light but there are other options for significantly less money. The Rigid fogs I had in my Tundra were alot brighter but not DOT if that matters to you.

 

If you are getting flashed a lot just tilt them down a little. I noticed that if I'm hauling stuff ill get a few more brights from other drivers.
