    This is correct.

    It appears you have put PnP LEDs in your halogen fogs which are designed for halogen bulbs. In the picture it is pretty obvious they are not working correctly with glare above the cut off. This just creates glare to oncoming drivers, poor performance and ineffective for the purpose in fog, instead you get lots of scatter which makes people think they look better if they don't know what they are looking for.

    If you want to run LED fogs, you need an LED fog assembly, many if not most for the Tacoma are covered in the SAE fog thread. I'd highly recommend Diode Dynamics SS3s or Elite fogs. For best poor weather performance I'd highly recommend selective yellow. All covered in the SAE fog thread here:

    Limited detail however, I’ll go with your imagination on the first item and regarding the window and lights, I’ll defer to other more expert opinions above.

    I remember reading a book for hot rodding 70s Pontiac Firebirds a long time ago that advised a ballpark alignment adjustment to allow/force straight travel on crowned roads.

    One time i noticed my feet were different inches apart when i walked so to fix this i tied brake pads to my feet and bound my ankles together so now my feet move together at the same time and that saves energy because i stop fast. I really like sciencing.
