    What I am seeing does not match what's on the dealer site (used the VIN) or what's in the manual. Both show the socket part of the bulb pointed downwards, wiring plugged into that. Wiring goes straight into the back of the fog lamp housing. What gives? I know, not the best picture.

    Manual does say LEDs, and what they show (diagram) does not match.

    Apparently, according to the Toyota dealer, mine has drl/fog lamps NOT in the manual. Whole assembly would have to be replaced.

    The LED fog units are sealed assemblies. They do not take a bulb. If you put yellow film on the lens you'll end up with a very funky green-yellow color. If you out a dark enough amber to have "yellow" fogs, they'll be uselessly dim.

    In the Lighting subforum, stickied at the top, is a great big thread on testing aftermarket fog lamps, including real amber (KC G4's) and a whole lot of selective yellow lamps (some of which are described as amber
