    Tracking number said they were supposed to arrive tomorrow but they were at my door when I got home. Here is the before pic with stock housings and LED bulbs

    Took about 15 minutes to install the new ones. Now I need to get new headlights and retrofit some morimoto mini d2s

    And here is the cut off against my garage door. (Driveway is in an up hill slope). Still a little too bright out. Can't wait to drive to work in the morning and see how much light they actually project when it's dark.

    So far I am impressed with the build quality and the looks. For the installation you need to remove the alignment tabs from the old fogs and install on these. One thing that really helped me with that is marking the alignment screw and counting how many revolutions it took to remove, then I installed with the same amount of turns of the alignment screw.

    Got a pleasant surprise when I got home today too. Tracking number said it was supposed to be delivered tomorrow. Unfortunately I won't be able to install for 2 weeks but it's partially because I'm waiting on my OTRATTW switch. If anyone got the yellow over lays can you post a pic? I'm on the fence if I want to put them on or not

    These are iphone pics which make them appear brighter then they really are in person, but the output is accurate in how the spread and ground coverage is in real life. I'm very happy with them. They match my headlights in color perfect.

    These don't have the close foreground coverage close to the bumper as the stock housings have. I'm totally fine with that though. I will probably adjust them down a bit more later on.
    Fogs only in these.

    I received mine as well. Are there installation instructions posted on the site? Did a quick browse, but wasn't sure if there was a direct link.

    That is my initial feedback, the shipping, packaging, and build quality is awesome! And I appreciate not sending install instructions and wasting paper, but rather than sending a piece of paper that says to go to the site and find the product just include a QR code sticker or small note pointing directly to the install instructions.

    Install guides haven't been necessary for the fog lights as they just replace the existing housings. If it is a regular request, it's certainly doable, however!

    Ahh, cool. I hadn't looked that closely at it yet....will probably be more obvious once I do.

    First off; I love TW! SO MUCH INFO!!!
    now onto my story: I never had stock fog lights. I am adding these on to my 2010 Tacoma. The wiring harness is all there so I ordered up the relay, switch and these LED fog lights (today). I am hoping for a plug and play experience.
    I was reading about the screw and alignment tabs. I do not have an old assembly to take them off of. Is there a work around for this?
    Maybe someone could post a pic or two of the part so I could attempt to fab one up....as I am unsure what the alignment tab looks like. Any helpful info is helpful info.

    I am looking for a way to order the screw and alignment tabs too, so I can put them onto the old fogs and sell them. Looked up the OEM fog lights in the parts manual and found nothing. Only two parts numbers for whole unit and bulb. If the retrofit source could get an inventory of these pieces it would help out those that don't already have fog lights and people like me who want to sell their old fog lights.

    OK, so as others have said, once you do it you'll see how simple it is.

    The adjuster has a black cap that pushes through a hole with two clips on it (see picture). You first push on one side of the light from the back to dislodge the light from the side "pivot" points. Then you can push in on the tabs on this adjuster cap and push the black cap towards the front of the vehicle. Have your hand on the light on the other side because it will likely just pop right out.

    For the wiring, if you hold the black connector that ships with the light with the opening towards the car and the locking tab down towards the ground, the red wire goes on the right.

    You unscrew the adjuster from the clip that is on the old light and then use pliers to pull out the clip, transfer those parts to the new light and install. Adjust the lights once installed.

    Really clean, they look like factory parts. Well done.

    TRSJimmy, the photo I posted above shows the stock adjusters installed on the stock lights. They look exactly the same installed on the new ones, they are pretty much identical housings.
