    Well, a block of cheese would probably have better light output. Ive seen these in real life once, and while I didnt get a really good look at them, they didnt look great. Beam pattern was kinda all over the place since they were trying to line up 8 beams instead of lining up just 2.

    I was precise, everything I said was factually correct. You are correct in people are providing their personal experiences in a non-malicious manner, and they happen to be factually incorrect, the OP should be made aware of this bad misleading advice. Some of us are well vetted lighting experts and others are posting bad information about optically incompatible lighting product recommendations on a truck forum claiming it is close enough. If you dislike my feedback try posting in an actual lighting forum or group and see the results you receive. I will not apologize for calling out BS when I see it.

    Very curious on Rigid working this out with Toyota as an OEM supplier. I'll certainly look to pick some up as soon as they are available, no different than I did for Rigid's OEM TRD Pro LEDs.

    Ooff. No. Once again cheap Chinese garbage. Do you see how you can see the LED emitter in the lamp from the front? That means it has no pattern control. The lamp has no engineered optics whatsoever. It is a very low performing illegal flood light, it is not a "fog light" at all. Meaning it will blind everyone on the road, should never be used with other traffic and will be worthless in poor weather not to mention be pathetically low performing. Just another example of poorly designed products pointed out before. If you want a real dual color LED fog, the only way to go is Rigid.

    All the things!
    Appreciate you @crashnburn80!

    Having been a part of your testing process (headlights) and seeing firsthand the lengths you go to, to provide fair and honest feedback, I know you have no agenda, and are just providing non-biased data.

    I'm still running the selective yellow SS3 Max fogs and wouldn't want it any other way. Paired with the oem led headlight conversion I did a while back everything is visible. The selective yellow really cuts through. :laser:

    Agreed. Only grip is @crashnburn80 is just enabling me to spend more money lol. I swapped my Hid headlight bulbs (in retrofitted projectors) to Osram Nightbreaker Lasers and bought DD Maxx yellow fogs after reading his content.
