Feeler: Morimoto XB LED Fogs for 06-13 Tundra and 05-11 Tacoma

Correct. None of the models are the same size as any others, so you'll just have to fit a 4" version, which is the Type F1 (09-14 F150)

 

Thanks Andrew, appreciate the quick response!

 

Sorry, that's something Andrew would have to answer since I don't have access to dimensions or the actual fogs in hand. Glad you got an answer!

 

I emailed the retrofit source and waiting a reply.. Was seeing if this is something they would possibly consider (making one for ARB) I know soo many people with already retrofitted headlights and ARB bumpers.. it would only make sense to make a fog that fits the ARB.

 

Andrew said type F1, which is for 09-14 F150. I doubt they would make one just for ARB, but who knows! I'm sure later down the road, I can come up with a bracket for you guys. Do you know if 05-current ARB fogs are all the same? Or ALL models?

 

Perfect! The more application it fits, the better chance it will happen. Can't promise anything yet

 

I had Gio confirm for you by email saying the same thing.

 

The ARB fog light kit is universal for all of the newer-model Deluxe and Sahara bumpers that have the triangular inserts in the bumper, regardless of the make/model of the vehicle. The newer bumpers with this feature come standard with the triangular plastic insert, the parking/indicator lamps, and mounting hardware, but the fog light hole is blocked off with a black plastic plate...unless you purchase ARB P/N 6821201 fog light kit (which includes the lights themselves plus their mounting hardware).


Since all of the newer-style ARB bumpers come with this same universal triangular fog light insert, and the ability to accept the ARB 4" fog light, if TRS could offer a plug-and-play 4" LED fog light kit for ~$200 (same price as the '09-14 F150) or maybe slightly more given the cost of the brackets, they'd probably get a fair amount of interest, since the mediocre ARB 6821201 halogen fog light kit is already ~$90. Not to mention, there are only two companies I'm aware of offering an LED upgrade for the ARB fog lights - LabRak and Mainline Overland. Mainline Overland charges an outrageous $395 for only the metal triangular brackets to replace the plastic ones on the bumpers (no lighting included), and upwards of $1,000 if you want Rigid LED lights in them. LabRak gets a much more reasonable $295 (but still pricey) for their metal triangular brackets with LED parking/indicator lamps, and an additional $175 if you want the LED light pods. The point being that if you already have the ARB bumper with the triangular fog light inserts and you want good fog light output, and you're looking at $90 from ARB to get crappy halogen lights, a $200-225 TRS kit would not only be your cheapest option by far, but probably the only one that gives you a true fog light pattern.

With all of that being said, there's no question that the potential ROI here would be much smaller than all of the other vehicle-specific applications they've released, as the only potential customers are people with ARB bumpers. So I wouldn't hold my breath for them to invest the design time and prototyping expenses given the target audience.

One other thing to note - ARB has recently starting rolling out its new line of "Summit" bumpers (the only style available for the '16 Tacoma), which have a sleeker, more radiused look, and have an updated fog light insert design. Whether the fog lamps themselves are the same is anyone's guess (they appear to be different from the pictures). The point being that if you created a set of brackets to fit the 09-14 F150 4" XB fog lights into the current ARB triangular fog light inserts, those brackets may or may not work with the new "Summit" fog light inserts.

 

Arb started offering the dogs in Tacoma bumpers in '12 I believe with the redesign of the bumper, however, I think all ARB dogs are the same.. Across all makes and models.

 

Woof!


I know what you mean.....just giving you a little auto phil grief.

 

So my worry is I don't know how much inventory you will be getting and for some reason the notifications from this thread are not always coming through to me, so if you sell out I'll miss out. Are you taking any pre-orders or reservations for a group buy?

 

I 2nd that!

 

3rd

 

4th. Definitely interested. Wondering how well these would fit the fog cut outs on a new 05-11 pelfreybilt front plate bumper?

 

I'm sure they'll get a good bit. I'll let you guys know!

 

5th . plan to get a pair as soon as available.

 

Put me on the list at 6th then

 

I'd like to be added to a list if pre-orders are available! been waiting for a long time...

 

Me too!definitely in for a pair
