KC | LED Fog Lights (Universal & Tacoma specific versions)

Please keep us posted on how the install process goes, and send me pics of everything. Especially of how you describe the light brackets as being different than in the OP. Pics would really help me see what you're experiencing so that I can be sure people don't go through this unexpectedly again in the future. Let me know what I can do to help you out!!

 

Yeah, you got me the right part number. In the picture below, you can see the two holes I mentioned that provide for height adjustment. The lights came mounted in the upper hole. Mounted in the upper hole, the light hit the top of the fog light opening (picture below). With the light moved down to the lower hole as pictured, the light isn't centered in the opening, so I just need to shim it up to center it in the opening.

 

You snuck in while I was posting. See my post above.

 

Ah I gotcha! Yeah we actually added those extra holes so that there would be a greater degree of adjustment to get it properly lined with aftermarket applications, such as this one! Any pics of trying to get it centered? Just curious as to how much it was off on with of those (upper or lower) height settings.

 

Sorry, I don't have a good way to hold the light and get pictures showing alignment without mounting them, and I didn't want to have to mount/unmount them a bunch of times. Here are a couple of pictures with the lights mounted up. Strangely enough, the two sides are slightly different. Both sides required the lights to be on the lower mounting hole, but only the passenger side needed the spacer. I used a 1/8" piece of aluminum as I had it on hand, and it gets it nearly perfect vertically. The passenger side needs a little shifting left/right still to get it perfect, but I can deal with that when I get around to mounting the bumper and aiming the lights.

Dang it looks like you got em to look pretty good!! Does that bumper require the shipping of the stock headlight bracket? I know the Pelfreybilt bumpers do.

 

Thanks. I'm not sure what you're asking.

 

Whoops. I meant snipping. So in other bumpers you have to cut a metal piece that helps hold the headlights up (not a significant loss of rigidity) in order to get any fog lights to fit.

 

I'm not sure. There is something they call the center grill support bracket that gets removed and not replaced to install the bumper and another piece that gets cut off to install a winch. Nothing about having to cut anything to fit fogs. I'm quickly finding out that off-road companies make good products, but their install instructions are absolute shit. I'm fairly mechanically inclined, but I have no idea how this bumper is supposed to install from reading the directions.

 

@Taylor@KC HiLiTES or anyone else confirm whether PN 500 will fit a 2010 Tacoma that has factory fogs?

I emailed KC directly and a representative said they work for 2006-16 but the website doesn’t agree...

 

It does NOT fit on the early 2nd gens (the pre-facelift models) unfortunately. You may be able to modify it to get it to work, but it won't fit direct bolt in from us. Would you mind PMing so I can get more info about your email conversation?

 

Thanks man, sent you a message

 

Are they adjustable for a 17’ taco with a lift ??

 

Yep! There is a mechanism for some slight adjustments - perfect for your billies/887 coils!

 

@Taylor@kchilites
I planning on getting the same Pelfreybrit front bumper. Do you think trimming the fog light cut outs would make it possible to mount the G3 more flush? Trying to avoid some of the beam getting cut off...

 

The G4s (rounds)? I currently don't have my truck (driving my DD instead lately), but I will give it a look on Wednesday evening. Where exactly in the cutouts are you thinking of trimming?

 

Yes, the G4 round. I have made the assumption that the lights are a larger diameter than the cutout. So I cant just push them in as far as I need.
The cutouts look like they are about 2" or 3" in depth. I thought cutting the depth down so the outside of the cutout would be flush with the bummer face.

 

Thanks! That helps a lot. You're dead on - that is the exact reason why the beam pattern gets slightly cutoff. I don't recall how much material there is that you can remove (the outside edges are the limiting factor, as shown in your lower drawing), but I think there's only maybe 1-2" instead of 2-3". But again, I'll give it a look very soon for you! We'll get you all sorted out ASAP.

I'm about to order a set of the universal G4's, do you have any discounts going on by chance?

Also... did you ever get around to taking those additional pics of your install?
