    depends on his model.
    some driving lights/fog location are H11, others are H16
    perhaps the H16 housing wont handle the H11 bulb wattage heat, but that is debatable, LED maybe even less so
    but as others have suggested, read the LED in halogen housing threads referenced and be enlightened

    So I I’ve read it and follow it and from my understanding ... LED is bright at a close distance but crap to see further down road the the mega 130 ge bulb ?

    And what about sylvania zxe or Silverstar ultras?

    In super short summery, pretty much. Even stock bulbs beat out way higher powered LEDs at distance.

    Go with the GE +130s or the Hellas from that thread for the headlights, for the fogs check out this thread for LEDs:
    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/the-led-sae-j583-fog-pod-fog-light-review.554813/

    All blue coated bulbs like silverstars reduce output and should be avoided for best performance.
