Undecided On Lights

Yesterday I installed the Morimoto HID headlights and LED fog light kits from The Retrofit Source. A plug and play kit, easy to install, fogs are a direct replacement housing/light.
Drove in the dark this morning and what a big difference! bright white light, can't be more pleased with the outcome. Look it up!

 

Thanks all anyone have pictures of the Philips kit and a off matched fog so I can see how it looks?

 

I'm happy with my xenon depot hid kit. I got the 5000k kit instead. Super easy to install. I have my windshield tinted and it was a huge difference maker.

 

@XenonDepot Just placed my order for some 4300k Philips HID lights! I didn't need that PWM Module, right?

 

Correct. You do not need the pulse-width-modulation module.

For numbers on how the HID compares to LED, check out the lux numbers here:

 

Thanks for all the positive feedback and love guys!

This should help:

Danny that's a Philips in the headlight and what color fogs?

 

Here is the full 2017 Toyota Tacoma - H11 HID Headlight Install Guide and Review that the picture is from. I believe those are the factory fog lights.

Look like stock fogs to me. My HIDs (4300k Philips) shipped out today. I'll get a pic of them with LED fogs if you want. @Brawler1588

Once they arrive and I get them installed. Hopefully by the weekend.

 

Sorry, I thought you wanted a comparison with the factory fog lights when you said off matched.

Here's one that compares the factory headlights and fogs to the Xtreme LED Pro kit:

@Brawler1588
Here is a picture (shitty one) to show how the 4300K HIDs compare to my Hikari LED fogs. I'll see if I can get a better pic tomorrow during the day to compare them, but this is all I have for now. Also, how they compare to the same Hikari LED bulb in the low beam. 6000kish I believe.

@XenonDepot I notice my HID lights have a bit of a bounce to them...is there a way to prevent that? Did I install them improperly?

 

Thanks for the pics I may like the 5k better

 

I feel that way as well. I'm hoping when they color shift to 4700K...I'll be happy with them...hoping...

 

I run Baja Designs Squadron sport in the fog pods and love the quality of light they throw. I chose the sports over the pro's and even though both are technically not road leagal I wanted to have the ability to run them without getting brighted. 1st picture OEM low beams only. 2nd picture low beams with BD Squadrons

 

Since the install do you get brighted by other drivers?

 

Are those BD fogs amber??
If someone flashes you can't you turn them off?

I have had a few BD lights on my dirt bikes, great products....when the mounting is sorted out.

 

Yes amber in color and yes they can be turned on and off when you want as they are plug and play direct swaps for the lights in the fog pods in the bumper.

 

They've been installed for a month now and I have yet to be brighted. I've even been passed by the local police at night with no issues.

 

Notice in these photos how the “fogs” light up the street signs. This should never happen with a fog light as they are supposed to have flat cut offs. Just like it is very well documented, those lights are for off road use only:

Looks nice!
What's the setup there?
lift?
tires?
bumper?
winch?
lightbars?

I keep going back n forth on doing a full cbi front n rear bumper or doing that clean insert set up.
