Halogen fog light bulb 2020

What’s a good replacement that’s bright and last? It’s a h11/h16 bulb I tried some but they don’t last. I don’t won’t a new pod light looking for best bulb replacement.

one quote:
"GE H11 Megalight +130 is by far the best performing stock wattage H11 bulb I have tested. See this post. They even outperform H9s in the 3rd gen headlight assembly. I still need to test these in the fog assembly, they may replace Volsa H9s as the recommended bulb."

 

I read these may not last very long though

 

You need to pick one...

Performance or Durability. You will not find both.

 

Where do you get the GE’s say sold out

 

You need to make sure yours has the H11 fog lamp. The H11 is not compatible with the H16 fog lamp. If its the H16 bulbed lamp, then you should save your money trying to find good h16 bulbs, and pick up a set of h11 oem fogs or take a look at the SAE J583 LED fog lamp thread at the top of the "Lighting" subforum.

 

Mines h11

 

Guess you can’t buy the ge h11 anymore

 

Get the OEM Toyota LED fog lights. Once adjusted they are really good.

 

Don’t wanna do anything else to the truck just want a good bulb. It’s paid for I’m done with it doesn’t interest me anymore just need good bulbs.

 

GE sold off their lighting division to Tungsram, which still makes very good bulbs. The 3rd gen H11 headlight thread has sources for the tungsram bulbs.

 

Oh ok. I saw the Tungsram bulbs thought it was a knockoff.

 

Guess not I thought I saw those sold out too!!

That’s overwhelming and confusing all the info in those threads. Page 1 at the top needs a list of the bulbs from best to worst. So I’m still unsure especially since I can’t find the best recommended bulb.

 

Your truck is not H11 unless you modified it, it is H16. H11 was only available 2016-2019 on TRD trucks for 3rd Gen. 2020+ are all H16.

There are no performance or better H16 bulbs. H16 is a very low performance low power bulb, thus no manufactures bother with a performance version.

The least expensive option is to find some used OEM 16-19 TRD H11 assemblies, these are referred to as wide-angle fogs, which are significantly higher performing that the standard H16 fogs. From there the best H11 bulb available is the H11 Tungsram Platinums. The Platinums are higher performing than the GE (Tungsram) +130s.

I’d suggest watching the marketplace section for fog takeoffs people sell when upgrading to SAE LED fog assemblies. You might even consider posting a wanted post in there for looking to buy fogs.

 

That’s good advice, I got my H11 55W wide angle fogs off the marketplace for around $50. My GE (Tungsram) +130 H11 in my low beams are still good after two years but I don’t drive often at night.

Here’s a link to the part numbers for the OEM Valeo H11 55W wide angle fog lights:

I would pass on the H16 19W fogs.

 

Minor correction, the H11s are 55w.

The GE/Tungsram +130s are a good bulb, especially in the 3rd Gen projector headlight. The Platinums are just a little better. 2 years is a pretty good run.

 

@crashnburn80 I could be wrong but I thought I read that the TRD Off Road came with H11 even in the newer years?

@tacos4u if you keep checking you can find a returned set of OEM LED fogs on Amazon for under $100. That's probably what 3 sets of high performance halogen bulbs would cost you and you only need to install them once. Its a really simple install. Took me less than 10 minutes.
