    I've been doing a lot of work on my 08 taco TRD sport, I would like to get opinions and brands for a change to LED Fog lights. will I lose visibility at night or will it not change? Watching reviews for LED head lights people say not worth it but can't really find much on fog... Please let me know your thoughts. I don't go off road much but I do from time to time.
    Thanks,
    Jody

    If you get LED fogs, you need to get the entire housing replaced with a lens designed for LEDs. Do not do drop in LED bulb replacements, as they will scatter and have poor beam pattern. Take a look at the Morimotos from The Retrofit Source.

    I agree that you really have to get an entire system designed for LEDs, dropping in a bulb usually produces poor results as mentioned above. We don't make any replacement fogs for 2005-2011 (only 2012+), but if you still have a stock bumper, I have heard good things about the Morimoto fogs as well (link here).
