    Anyone got suggestions on what fog lights I should get. I want Amber LED's (orange not yellow) I almost got the Cali Raised(https://caliraisedled.com/products/...a-led-fog-light-pod-replacements-brackets-kit) amber fog lights but realized that I don't like how the Fog light Pods stick out. I'm now looking at the Heritic fog lights (https://www.hereticstudio.com/produ...lXI2XwzIwAH_JR1TRAaAqZUEALw_wcB#details-specs) but they are a little to pricey for me. Im looking for a fog light that is similar to the Baja style in looks but I don't want to pay anymore than $200 because I have to buy a switch and a wiring harness which is going to cost me another $70. I'm willing to pay about $300 max.

    The Diode Dynamics SS3 are nice but they are a little expensive for me. Keep in mind I still have to pay an additional $70 for a wiring harness and switch kit, because my truck never came with fog lights.

    The link to the brackets show the brackets and the fog lights on the truck. This is what I don't like about the cali raised fog lights.

    Please read this and educate yourself on fogs:
    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/the-led-sae-j583-fog-pod-fog-light-review.554813/

    As you can see CaliRaised does not make fog lights, they sell rebranded cheap Chinese spot lights that should not be used on the street and will be a big downgrade from stock and completely worthless in fog. The only lamps that are amber and not yellow for an actual fog light are the amber KC G4 (out of production) and the amber Morimoto XBs. Amber is much lower performing than selective yellow. If on a budget selective yellow Diode Dynamics SS3 Sports or Elites would be worth considering, both linked at the top of the linked thread.
