    Got them on last night, had to take the stock o-rings off the original fog bulb and put them on the Nokya's to make it fit. The Nokya o-ring is marginally larger!

    After swapping o-rings I still had to push in a little bit, but they finally locked into place.

    Hope this helps anyone else in the future.

    Swap the o-ring from your factory bulbs onto the Nokya bulbs.

    Could also be this if you are 2012+

    Mostly stock with a few minor mods.
    Just ordered a set of H11 2500k hyper yellow bulbs. Can't wait to get them installed. Yet another $20 spent because of Tacomaworld.

    What's the advantage of yellow fog lights? Or is it just an aesthetic change?

    Jethro, check this out... http://www.danielsternlighting.com/tech/lights/light_color/light_color.html ...Good explanation of selective yellow lighting.

    FWIW, I had a bitch of a time getting the Nokya bulbs in too. A little silicone grease on the o-rings worked fine without having to swap them off the factory bulbs.

    I'm thinking it snows exactly the right amount there. ;)
