    Man, the lights just look too blue for me. If they made a more OEM look like Synergy has been mentioning id be all over it.

    If you're referring to the color of the Opt7's in the original post, they aren't blue at all. They may look it in the picture but they are very bright white.

    Its your money, buy what you want. I have the Opt7 LEDs and do not see
    the "touch of Xenon Blue". Having said that, I draw your attention to the
    heading where you are circling in RED on OPT7's advertisement ""Crisp,
    Cleat White Lighting"
    Ever mix colors? When you add a "touch" of blue
    to white, it appears to brighten the white yet you don't actually see the
    color blue, simply a brighter white. I'm satisfied with the OPT7s but
    obviously you are not so spend your money and get what you want.
    Enjoy your new lights whatever type they might be.

    @wudbuchr lol dude you need to chill. Was this posted directly to you? No. So take your snarky comments elsewhere. I posted for the people that claim there is no blue whatsoever. I do not have these lights, nor any other brand. They are stock fyi. Hence why I posted earlier in the thread asking about some other brand. I just posted what I read on the site. :facepalm:

    It is sad to see this blog dragged down by people who just want to stir up arguments.
    I used to enjoy reading this blog for the helpful suggestions we get from one another.
    Now the majority of what I see is antagonism. If I hurt your feelings then I apologize.
    It is a shame that we annot get along and just help each other improve our Tacos.
    Nuff said.

    I am not trying to stir up arguments....I enjoy this whole site because it is filled with a bunch of useful information and a lot of help with things that I didn't even know about. My feelings aren't hurt, nor am I upset, not am I angry so don't be sorry. I just posted to clear the debate I have seen on this site about them having blue or not. I do not have these exact lights myself nor have I seen them in person. So I do apologize for posting and upsetting anyone on here. It was just a post.

    Looks to be the exact same. I'm running the OPT7 Flux Beam in my lows & fogs. All 3, low/high/fog take the H11 bulb.

    Wudbuchr, how long have you had your lights? I have seen posts about dimming after a few months, have you had any problems?

    I haven't had mine but four days and do not know if they dim over time
    or if we just get adjusted to them ourselves. Regardless, time will tell. I
    keep my original bulbs with the truck just in case one or both of the OPT7s
    fail. I'm not skeptical simply practical! As of right now I am satisfied with
    the OPT7s.

    DO NOT order the Fog Light Kit!!!! I ordered all of my bulbs from OPT7 directly; 2 sets of the H11 headlights (for high and low beams) and 1 set of H11 Fog Light kit, because hey they're replacing my fog lights, so why not... Yeah, they are the exact same as the regular headlight, except the plug/play harness that comes with it is a bare wire attachment type. Everything in the box looks the same, except for the additional wiring harness you have to connect. I had to contact customer service and they are kind enough to just be shipping me out the proper wiring harness, so I don't have to return the whole package. So, just order the "regular" FluxBeam Headlights for the fogs.

    Here's the wiring harness that comes with the Fog Light Kit:



    **Edit**
    Here's a pic of the order these should be installed in (except the wiring harness on the end would be the correct one):

    So I read all 33 pages of this post and decide to buy three sets. From what I had read it was only the limited that had H16 in the fogs. Come to find out the Canadian TRD Sport also has H11 in the fogs. I just looked on their web page and OPT7 does not offer an H16 led bulb. any ideas on what I could put in there to match the highs and lows??

    I wonder if that is has a shallow housing as opposed to other models? I have a Limited and that bulb fit both the fogs and highs though I use them in my highs only. My fogs are Morimoto LED units.
