    Posted this under Automotive Lighting 101, but figured I'd get more action here.

    I'm "from the town of Bedrock" and new here and just got a new Truck 18 TRD Off Road after recently trading in my 03 Tacoma. Way too much going on with these trucks now technology wise!

    All I would like is for some folks who simply changed their bulbs with some after market bulb for high, low, and fogs to chime in.

    I'm always pressed for time it seems, so not a professor on any topics, and glanced at my manual last night.......... H9 and H11 for high and low beam, and it mentioned TWO choices for Fogs,,, "regular H16 vs. wide angle H11?? "

    I"m 64 and would be interested if I don't find what's in my truck as stock to be adequate. Haven't driven at night yet. I don't want to do LED or HID after reading all the stuff on here as in money, trouble, time, etc.

    I have an Indian Chieftain motorcycle and replaced all 3 fairing lights with Osram Cool Blue Intense. Not GREAT, but definitely an upgrade for sure compared to stock bulbs.

    So back to suggestions for the truck if needed ..............

    I spotted a U tube comparo for after market factory replacements and saw,

    Osram Nightbreaker Unlimited

    Sylvania Silverstar Ultra

    GE Nighthawk Platinum Rated top to bottom.

    I just spotted some other bulbs from a UK company (Powerbulbs/UK) and they were PIAA Hyper Arros which come in H9 and H11, but nothing in amber for foglights on their site.

    I don't know if I"d go yellow on fogs, but yellow is supposed to be the best for rain, snow?

    Any thoughts appreciated. Doesn't mean I'll go that very route but looking for info.

    thx in advance for any responders
