    Bought these for 2021 TRD Sport. Specs show H11 low beam, H9 high beam and H16 fog light (sometimes H11 is shown for fogs). No markings on lamps, so I guessed that the two identical lamps (in each box) replaced H11 and the other lamp replaced the H9. Any insight?
    New to Tacoma trucks. Got 'Big Red' in February, so I'm feeling my way along.

    LED bulbs should not be run in halogen housings. They blind oncoming traffic and decrease your usable light output. It has been proven time and time again.

    Sir, I absolutely understand why you'd want to upgrade to LED, but your choice of LED lights is questionable.
    I wouldn't go the route of upgrading individual bulbs, factory LED is the best for build quality and illumination performance. Check out https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/2020-tacoma-oem-led-headlight-megathread.592039/ you'll find how to upgrade that way.

    If I had to go the route of upgrading individual bulbs, I'd only buy from here https://www.vleds.com/featured-vehicles/3rd-gen-toyota-tacoma.html

    this page contains all tried and true LED bulbs guaranteed to work perfectly for your Tacoma. They are pricy but they last forever.
