    Hey I plan on changing my fog lights but would like to have them LED's. I'm looking for something with a lot of output but easy to install. I have no knowledge of wiring so any info will be great. This is for a 3rd gen Tacoma. I already have LED bulbs but would prefer to change the whole assembly instead to LED.

    Will they work? I saw the mount kits for the squadrons but they do not include my 2016 Tacoma.

    See the thread linked above, it isn’t due to output, it is because they blind everyone else on the road due to lack of cut off, which also makes for poor use in fog.

    Right...that's why they're "off road" lights. The OP didn't specify a philosophy of use, only "something with a lot of output", so that's what I suggested. The onus of appropriate use is on the person considering the available options...

    Fair point. Some like Rigid can also put out lots of light and maintain cut offs to still be used on the street. Up to the OP for his usecase.

    I run the squadron sports and they put out some amazing light and I have yet to be brighted from oncoming vehicles. I wanted to have the ability to run them on road so I chose the 20w sports. Get the pro's if you will only be using them offroad. Oh and they plug right into the factory harness so even the newest of newbs can install these in about 20 minutes per side.

    There seems to be two different options for both the Pro and Sport. The "wide cornering" or the "pair driving/combo LED", which one is better and what makes them different? It seems that each one is priced the same but I dont know the different between the both of them. Thanks in advance.

    Your question would be best answered by knowing your intended use. For off-road use only, your options are essentially limitless...for on-road use, the options narrow significantly, especially in safety inspection states. As far as design differences, recommend you reach out to @Baja Designs for specifics...

    The 20w sports are what is displayed in the thread. They have no cut off, and are not street legal. Even Baja says they are not street legal. They blind other drivers. Not being flashed is not a good indicator of beam pattern.

    The combo is half wide cornering which is a wide short range beam, and driving which is a narrower long range beam. Both sets are off road only.
