    Forgot to mention, got the regular OPT7 LED's that everyone's getting for the low beams and doing the OPT7 CREE DRL for the fogs... they seem more fog appropriate IMO from what I've read. Not looking for headlight brightness in a fog light.

    Just installed Opt7 LEDs in my headlights and the one adapter had a piece of a plug that wasn't supposed to be in there and wasn't allowing the connecters to go together. Took me about 5 minutes to realize that was the issue before getting the piece out and them connecting as they should. Love the headlights they match perfectly.

    What fog bulbs did you go with? I want to do the led h11 for the low beams but want some yellow fogs like yours.

    Just so you know I ordered mine on February 24 Amazon Prime. Got the same email saying back-ordered. Opted to take the 15% discount and wait 2 weeks on them to arrive. Came home today and they were on my porch! 5 days later. Already got one side installed lows and fogs. Took some daytime comparison pics w/ FluxBeam in lows and opt7 CREE H11 in fogs. Waiting for closer to nightfall for a better comparison shot then planning to finish the install. Super easy install on the driver side. Will have to hold comment on the passenger side until tonight but it doesn't look any more difficult than the driver's side. Hope yours get there quickly like mine did!

    I have read through most of this thread. I'm hoping someone can help me out because it seems like people are talking about a few different brands and part numbers: 2016 Tacoma TRD OR... I just want my headlights (high and low) and my fog lights to match my LED DRL's and maybe a little better visibility at night. Main thing is to have all the lights match.

    Can I get some Amazon links?

    Front window tint match and windshield strip. Rubber bed mat. Running boards. Console insert. Husky floor liners. Exterior LED conversion with Diode Dynamic and Opt7. Low profile window visors.
    I have a 16 TRD-OR. Just installed:
    low beams: http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/...id=1456774985&ref_=sr_1_1&s=automotive&sr=1-1
    Fogs:
    OPT7 CREE H11 LED DRL 5000K Bright White Fog Light Bulbs - Pack of 2
    http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/...pt7+led+fog&qid=1456775130&ref_=sr_1_1&sr=8-1

    The ones from the first link will work in the fog reflector housing as well. Same fit. Matter-of-fact, the stock halogen bulbs are identical to one another (low beam and fog). IMO, the top link (FluxBeam) should only be used in the projector (low beam) application b/c the fog housing will just shower all that light everywhere. I would argue that is not very "on-comer friendly". If you're concerned about having the brightest fogs possible (which I am not) go with FluxBeams in both the low and fog slots (H11). The second link are the fogs that I purchased (much cheaper bulb). Same company (opt7) but the bulb is made more for the reflector housing and also has a lower light output. I have not spent any money to replace my high beams yet. I don't get to use them much as I live in a more urban area with pretty constant traffic. So color match isn't as important to me being as they are off 95% of the time. I may purchase and install some highs later but I need to look in the manual to figure out what bulb type it requires.

    I plan to post comparison pics tonight after the sun goes down of my setup. Just came in today! Hope that helps!
