    These opt7 LEDs are amazing I put them in low beam projectors high beam and fogs I drive 145 miles in the dark both back and forth to work on mostly two lane roads and the light output is wicked bright the projectors have a clean cupoff just like advertising stated by opt7 the fogs put a lot of light down low where fogs lights should the high beams are the best and shine a lot more not further but cleaner light

    For those who have all 3, fogs, lows, and highs, have you seen any problem with the highs turning off your fogs? I think I read something a while back which said the highs were causing problems with their fogs, which is why I think they say these lights don't fit the 16 tacoma. Either way I plan on ordering at least the lows and fogs.

    There's an automatic switch the shuts your fogs off when highs are activated. It's not the lights causing that. That's a stock tacoma setting. My Rangers did that as well.

    I work for Audi and they have been using LED lights for a while. The first car to have them as Standard equipment was the R8 v10 but they are optional in the A3, 2017 A4, A6, A7, A8, Q7 and TT as an upgrade to the Xenon.

    The training from Audi never stops and while the LED is built to last longer, the main reason for them is that they burn at 5500 Kalvin which is said to be the colour of daylight. We are ordering 6000 for these trucks which is close enough. The benefit to this is that you can drive much longer at night without fatigue. I'm ordering them for that reason and was surprised to read 20 pages without mention of it so I thought my 2nd ever post would be well used here!
    I ordered the set today and the truck arrives on Friday.
    Goodbye lowered 2015 A4 and hello curb jumper!
    Thanks for everyone doing the hard work to ensure the rest of us have an easy purchase.

    That's what I ordered. I won't use the Fogs in Toronto but when I'm up north I welcome the extra (selfish) lighting.

    I just got my 2016 trd off road quad cab and am new to the site. I am confused as to which bulbs are being used in the three lights. Low, high beams and fog. If it's not too much trouble would one of you extremely knowledgeable folks throw me a line and spell them out? I would opt for the lower wat fogs but not sure which is what. Thanks!

    All bulds can be replaced by H11 as recommended by opt7 they have high beam low and fog H11 sets and are great and have many choices

    same base but different wattages etc, some HID kits don't recommend full wattage in toyota fogs cause it can melt, etc, still, they aren't 'h11' all around
