    Toyota running boards/Solid Fold 2.0/custom stickers/Anti-Dark LED light under hood/Derped grill/Scoop, etc.
    So, it seems that my TRD sport should take the H11's...(my LED's must have been too long)... Great. I'll wait till spring when the grill comes off for derping and it'll be easier to get at those buggers. I'll order some Hyper Yellow in the meantime....!!

    Thanx

    If you were trying to put in LED's that explains it.

    Thanks,

    Where do you mount your ballast for your Hid fogs? I'm installing mine tomorrow.

    Yellow light scatters less, so for foggy / snowy / sandy conditions you'll get much less hazy reflection off of stuff in the air.

    Was it a big deal to get the fender well out of the way?

    Did u use ddm? Do you think that 55w may be too hot for the smaller fog housing? No judgement just wondering it looks great!
