Dual color fog lights.

Diode dynamics amber seems to match well with the side markers. Baja designs are crazy bright. I had a 30” light bar, replaced it with the diode dynamics. But I also have dd amber fogs as aux fogs in the grill.

 

I want to say PIAA had something like that long ago but I don't think they were the round style?

 

Doesn't the 2024 TRD PRO and Trailhunter come with dual color fogs? I think they are from Rigid.

 

Tough crowd. I didn't read anything earlier about them. Just Rigid and eBay. Like I said, I've been running deautokeyled in my Jetta for almost 9 years with no issues. People in the VW forums love them too. So I have no complaints. Plus a lifetime warranty is hard to pass on.

 

^^^^

I just installed these a few hours ago. So far so good, tbh. I saw them last week and def wanted to try them out. Highly recommend. Great company, from all I’ve seen at least, and the light output is top notch thus far.

Here’s a link if you’d like!

 

Rigid Industries® LED Fog Lights
Conditions out there won’t always be ideal, which is half the fun anyway. So TRD Pro and Trailhunter’s Rigid Industries® * LED fog lights illuminate the trail in low light and inclement weather. Trailhunter adds to the versatility with selectable white or amber illumination.
^^^^^^
FROM the toyota website
i bet all light companies will be making dual color lights soon.....the new fad

 

What vendor?

 

Agreed, no need for 6000k fogs, when you actually need them they’re so reflective they’re worthless.

For old school cool I run a Sierra dual amber/white light bar (are light bars old school? Were they ever cool?), company is now defunct as best I can tell other than a store on Amazon. I only run it off road or on mountain roads and really only like the amber, turn off headlights and have a low light signature, picks up features well, easy on the eyes

Put DD sports ambers in wife’s Subaru (installed at 2 am Xmas morning lol) and have a set of amber Max’s on the shelf to replace the Morimoto white LED fogs in my first gen

 

Now you’re talking old school lol

 

Here are a few photo. Mind you, it’s daylight and rainy, the photos don’t do them justice. They look great and crisp IRL.

No additional wiring. Simply turn them off and on to switch between the colors. They default to white.

 

THANK you, this might be the route I go, even though those are not what I originally saw.

 

Also not a reputable company. Stole IP from Diode Dynamic, even blatant copied their website and changed the name. Got sued. Not a lighting company I would support.

What you don’t see is that your beam pattern is trash and you are causing glare to oncoming drivers causing yourself to be a danger on the road and for your lights to be less effective in the conditions they are designed for.

No reputable company makes dual color PnP LEDs because it is not technically possible for them to optically work correct in a halogen housing. So your left with cheap Chinese companies selling you snake oil.

The one listed in my quote from the other member. I’m not going to repeat it to minimize use of their name.

I’d highly recommend not following some of the very bad advice given here on multi-color PnP LEDs. All the vendors mentioned are those that have very bad reputations and should be avoided. Unfortunately lighting is complicated, many people turn a product on and see that it lights up and call it good. Forward vehicle lighting has much more to it than that about beam pattern, cut offs, intensity, is the light going where it is supposed to go in the pattern? For an LED to work semi-correctly in a halogen housing the emitters need to be where the halogen filament is located, precision is so important. Since you need 2 emitters for multicolor, they both cannot occupy the correct position, so they are both in the wrong position causing the output to be garbage. Yes it lights up but the pattern is all wrong and now you are a major hazard on the road to everyone else. I do lots of lighting product reviews and have reviewed multi-color PnP LEDs before, see post #29, these were done in a projector headlight where the projector cut off eliminates the glare, because everyone knows not to use such a poorly designed product in a reflector fog.

 

Firstly, I’d be careful who you claim is giving bad advice. Nobody here is intentionally providing a malicious direction. However, your passive aggressive-self-righteous mentality sure does come across in a negative light. regardless if you’re right or not.

We are giving our experiences. It’s up to the OP whether he likes one option over another.

While it’s cool that you claim to have reviewed, and have experience with, multiple products.. it doesn’t make anyone else that’s simply speaking on their own experience somehow less than.

In fact, during my limited research on the Switchbacks, I understood that this was by no means a “perfect” 1:1 to a dedicated system, such as the ones by Rigid / DD. That said, depending on one’s needs, not everyone will be using these in the same application. So, if someone wants to have a less expensive alternative, not as good performing product, that’s on them. it also doesn’t inherently make them more dangerous to oncoming traffic. The assumption that the reflector pattern (in fogs, NOT HEADLIGHTS) will blind everyone once you drop an LED in is just absurd. Yes, the pattern won’t be as ideal, but cmon now, be realistic. In fact, I’ve seen Dynamics cause more strain than reflectors when paired with cheap Chinese LED’s. It’s not always a 1:1 and you know that.

Now, it would be a whole different story if people were knowingly providing misinformation, trying to make it seem like these were just as good. It is up to the buyer to do their research. Nobody is claiming that a reflector housing with LED is going to give the best patterns, outcomes. This is just a quick solution, that may do the job for SOME.

Lastly, not everyone is familiar with a companies background. For example, ALL my lights are Rigid Industries, with the exception now of these fogs. While it would’ve been just as easy for me to run Rigids, I heard good things about these and the company and wanted to give them a shot. Had I known what you mentioned, about their integrity, I wouldn’t have purchased them either. So, I’m not disagreeing with you, you just have to understand, from one engineer to another, we don’t shit on people because they don’t understand things the way we do. We educate, uplift, and find a better way. But hey.. if you want to develop software, just to have me shit all over it and call your approach bad while I tell you why mines better from all my experience, I’ll gladly.

It’s not necessarily what you say.. it’s how you say it. Since we are being self-righteous here.


OP, fact remains, there are plenty of options out there. I DO recommend a higher end one if you plan on getting longevity out of them, using them for their specific application (off tossing, etc) and not just vanity. The bang for your buck usually will come full circle. I just wanted to mention these in the event they were what you recently saw, and if you were curious on first hand experience.

 

So, @crashnburn80, what are your thoughts on these Rigid OEM fogs?

 

I remember my buddy had those on his truck..long ass time back of course.

 

Not the same dual lights... but back in the day...

 

I hear “My posse’s on Broadway.” rocking in the background

 

Hell yeah! Used to see Sir Mix-a-lot around town back in those days. Mainly around Auburn.

 

Okay... Thanks for the non-answer.

 

This is sort of what I had in mind. How cheesy would these be? asking the experts.
