    little update, they are definatly Orasm H16"s but after taking a closer look they do fit. Took me about a half hour to install all 3 sets. Now i'm just a little concerned about the fogs, since they awere h16 in there should i be concerned about the different wattage. I thought i read somewhere that H16's have alot less wattage than H11"s. Had them on for about half an hour and everything seemed fine but i also don't want to damage anything. Also still trying to figure out how i'm gonna get my hands in there to zip tie the excess wiring. not much room to move around.

    ^^^ Pull your grille off (two bolts and two pop tabs) and that gives you tons of room to reach down there.

    Just read through this whole thread over the last day or so and decided to order the Opt 7 LED H11 for my low beams and then I ordered Nokya Hyper Yellow H11 for my fogs. I prefer a more yellow color for my fog lights and think it will be a good contrast to the bright white low beams. Will try to post pictures once installed in a few days.

    Update. I installed the Opt 7's in the low beams and the Nokya Hyper Yellows in the fogs. I am very happy with the results. The Opt 7s are very bright and match the DRLs. The yellow fogs have the desired effect I was looking for. image.jpgimage.jpg

    SR5 Question:
    Alright, after reading ALL 34 pages I still have a question/doubt since almost everyone bought these for OR & Sport models.....

    My plan is to buy 2 sets of OPT7 H11. One set as LOW beams and one set as FOGS.
    The thing is I have an SR5 tacoma so I'm still wondering and a bit confused since some people said the H11's don't fit and something about trimming? :confused:

    Is anyone certain that the H11's will fit both los beams and fogs on an SR5?
    If so then I'm pulling the trigger ASAP because they look NICE and will match with my Caliraised LED bar & ditch lights :bananadance:
    Thanks!

    They should fit. Even if they don't just throw the second set in your highs. I was running them in lows & fogs on my limited, now I run them in highs & lows.

    They WILL fit. I ordered two sets of H11s for my '16 SR5. Lows and Fogs. They fit perfectly and snug. They look even better!!

    I bought these a few weeks ago on Amazon with 2 day shipping. Just checked again on Amazon and the place I ordered from doesn't offer that now.

    Fifty bucks and Amazon prime. Installed them into my fogs and low beams. Look great. And yes there's a little blue tint for the picky asses. What's cool is they include two yellow tinted glass covers lol. I'm happy with them!!

    Going on 8 months since I installed these and run the lows and fogs full time. They still look great and operate like they did on the first day. I've only been flashed about 2-3 times in that 8 month time frame so I'm extremely pleased with the outcome. I did eventually get the high beams a few months back and am pleased with those also. These are a great product so if you're still on the fence, freaking jump. You'd think Opt 7 would have sent me a couple pairs considering they sold hundreds of sets because of this thread. . Oh well! Peace!
