    Output is amazing compared to the oem halogens. They are actually better at lighting up the road than my halogen headlights are.

    Maybe see the thread for the beam pattern phots rather than a pic in an app used for documenting power draw on a power supply?

    From thread:

    The Morimoto XBs are one of the lowest performing fogs in the thread. Almost 1/2 the output of the stock H11 TRD fogs.

    Depends on your baseline. If your 16 is a TRD truck with the high performance wide angle H11 fogs, the LED fogs are actually a downgrade. See the output table I posted above. The LED fogs are smaller width, less height and reduced output intensity vs the performance H11 TRD fogs listed in the table as "Toyota Halogen". If you have the standard non-TRD H16 fogs, or your truck is 2020 plus, then those fogs are very low output and low performing. The LED units would be an upgrade.

    But maybe if questioning data and photos, it is easier to watch it in a professionally produced video. I pointed all this out years earlier. But if info is needed from another source:

    I don't think my factory fogs weren't the "high performance" versions because they were terrible. The XB's made a huge difference with a much wider beam. I got an $89 "open box" deal on them but had I known the Toyota ones were only 140 I would have purchased those. Toyota seems to do a nice job on their LED lamps. My daughter had a 16 Corolla, those headlamps were amazing.

    EDIT: I just looked up my truck, OE lamps take the H16 bulb, so they were the lesser performance lamps.

    what a fortuitous thread to pop up for me... Thank you!

    After the LED headlight upgrade with the FBC harness, the headlights were spot on.

    However, the halogen fog lights were wimpy/weak and looked out of place with the LED headlight upgrade.

    So i had to upgrade the fogs to LEDs too. FYI, I found that straight from Toyota it was $114 vs $123 on Amazon...

    Which headlamps did you install? I'm eyeing the TRD Pro lamps right now. I was going to open up my housings and do a projector upgrade and black out for HID but I want better high beams as well.

    On the third post of this thread is a link to a thread by CrashnBurn80 (lighting Guru) with the below part #s. I bought the black ones since it is plug and play with the existing halogens. The pro lamps need an adapter plate because of their size.
