    I was recently talking to someone and they said that Morimoto is taking pre-orders for a new Amber fog light assembly. If it's anything like what I have that would be a killer light. My (white) have a very distinct cutoff and great width, not to mention the throw is fantastic.

    It's something I would consider converting to if I could decent price for mine.

    Man, the only thing about those is that they are pretty pricey. I was looking at the Nokya yellow bulbs on Amazon, as thats what I had in my 2013, but they just burn out frequently. I know. You get what you pay for.

    Yea, I can certainly understand what you're saying. When I bought my Morimoto's there was a tremendous sale going on at the time and I think I paid something like $140 shipped, and then I sold my OEMs for half that so it was definitely a much easier pill to swallow. One thing I am not made of is money, that's for sure. But yea, you definitely get what you pay for. Maybe you could try some higher end bulbs and then add that Lamix film? A lot of guys do that and are very happy.

    Have you checked the @XenonDepot site for amber H-11 bulbs?

    Does anybody know if a 28mm LED will fit inside of the vanity lights? I have the interior lighting kit from diode dynamics and would like to keep the same brand for even lighting throughout the truck

    Was just trying to purchase LED brake lights (from page 1 of this thread) and Amazon no longer has them in stock. Any body have a good recommendation for LED brakelights for a '16 off road taco?

    Also would like recommendation for the front marker lights!

    Is the first post most up to date? Looking to get an LED light conversion for front turn signal, tail, and brake lights.

    Hey guys I need some help. My wife just bought a 2019 Toyota C-HR. She's got factory projectors with halogens. I want to upgrade her bulbs to LED's like my truck, but a couple things. Her factory bulbs are 9012, not H11 and she's got that automatic high beam option.

    from what I can tell with the automatic high beams, it's still one bulb, but not dual filament, just has a thing that comes down to block the light from pointing too far up, until it senses no one in front of you which at that point opens the door/flap thing to full brightness.

    Looking for some direction from you guys as far as what bulbs to get her? really about all i'm finding are the Lasfit 36Watt/bulb option. I'd be super happy just plopping in some H11's so we could all share the same bulb, but not sure if that's possible.

    Thoughts?

    Unfortunately, the Philips X-treme Ultinon LED kits in yellow come at a premium due to the brand and how harder they are to come by. Having said we are working on getting our Xtreme LED Pro kits available in yellow soon!

    Uhhh, no, I would not use any references from the first post. Let me ask Brett to kindly post up his newer comprehensive list of what is recommended.

    @Parker315 Hey Bro, you have that list of what's what in your sig or some place handy you can post up for the newer guys. Wish we could replace that outdated info on the first page..........

    If the 9012 Xenon Depot bulb is constructed like the H-11s then there should be no reason you couldn't use them with that high tech shade thingy. Seriously? A visor comes down and goes up to allow for the high beam function and there are not two separate bulbs? I mean, I am aware that older tech was a dual filament but this shade thing is a new one on me. Way cool.

    @XenonDepot what say ye on the use of a LED 9012 in the 2019 Toyota C-HR? Sounds feasible to me.
