    good eye! Yea I did notice this white tacoma has pro grille, pro lights, and pro wheels. Looks good tho

    edit: also the tire size of the white taco is 265/70r17 so its a size larger than stock.

    The lack of symmetry makes my eye twitch.

    just grab the picture for size comparison, and not actually driving like that lol. I am working on a video to compare some of the major light pod players on the market.

    How the hell are those considered pods? (not counting the Rigid - that's legit)

    Are thos DD's in the fog position? I've come to the conclusion that if Diode Dynamics doesn't make it, I don't need it. YMMV.

    Who makes that basketball and where would you use it?

    I guess calling them light pods are mainly just to differentiate them from light bars.

    They are DD SS3 pro fog lights in the factory fog location. TBF, DD also makes square pods (ss5) that is very similar in functionality with the ones shown.

    The orange "basketball" is made by auxbeam and I love them in a dusty offroad setting.

    If you want to see how DD's fog and Rigid do, here is a video

    This is how well those basketballs do just in case you are wondering. Had them on my tundra for years and they hold up great.

    Very cool. Your videos are well done!

    I hope you know any 'tone' is strictly in fun. I think we covered before that you and I were already DD fanboys.

    Those Auxbeam do look at home on the Tundra. And for someone legitimately getting trail time (which I do not), well, the considerations change drastically.

    Thank you! and yes I 100% understand the jokes in this thread.
    9 inch fits Tundra's sheer size for sure, it just looks too funny and out of place for the smaller tacomas.
