    Just guessing here but I'm gonna go with the "-R" probably stands for round as the outer shape is round while the other ones are more square.

    Also looks like your question was also asked in the questions section of the Amazon post you linked which I'm sure you saw already.

    The non round version is actually about 12 lumens higher than the round ones but both essentially would be considered the same output. Now why does the Amazon post say different? Probably because it's a reseller that doesn't know what they're talking about.

    Hey @VERTIGO, the only difference between those to is that front bezel. On will be round and the other will be square style. The internals of the light is exactly the same so the lumen count will be identical. The website is an ongoing project with the marketing team so it is displaying inaccurately.
    Best,

    I had BD pocket kit for my 5th Gen 4Runner and removed it prior to sale. Can’t wait to put it on my future third gen.
    I have the sport trim with driving combo and they’re perfect for the desert. I occasionally use them on road (when no one is in front of me) when on mountain roads.

    I went with Diode Dynamics for ditch lights and front light bar. Zero complaints and they did have good customer service

    @IrateAmbassador I would have but they don’t offer life time warranty and people talked so much about how great the customer service was. I just ordered the BD ditch lights as well.

    @Baja Designs I bought the foglights as an open-box from Amazon for a little cheaper. Will warranty still cover it if anything happen? They said they were new but the box was open. I bought them directly from Amazon.

    Yes just keep the proof of purchase or do the product registration card in the box and send it in. With either of those two, we will cover the warranty.
