    Purchased a set of OEM fog lights for my 2013 tacoma from here..

    https://www.sparksparts.com/accesso...s-fog-light-lamp-replacement-kit-fl-ty090-ac3

    Great price, super easy to install, and great quality.

    The only issue is the way the lights sit in the plastic housing. There is a gap between the lights and the plastic... am i missing something? is there a rubber gasket i need to get or should i seal it?

    Thanks for the help!

    Yah it seems like that's the way it's supposed to fit... but it just looks a little off.

    I shouldn't be worried about water?

    Yes, that is normal. They all sit like that. Any water will drain down and away and the lense is sealed. Looks good.

    Looking to install fogs on my '13 SR5. I don't have much experience with car electrical other than putting an after market stereo in my last vehicle. Any insight into weather this install would be similar in difficulty? I assume it's mostly pulling wires?

    Yah it's pretty easy. I think you'll be fine.

    I'm not sure about the fog lights needing to be yellow.. there is a lot of debate about that.
