    On the first night driving my tundra home I knew I needed to do something about the lighting. so that was the first big mods on my list. i started looking to see what i wanted and what would look and work the best.
    for starters i went with a rx350 retrofit. 35w ballast, 5.5k bulbs, platinum housings, led drl and switchback, panamera led shrouds. set up is very nice and has great output. i may swap over to a 55w ballast in the future (this is what i had on my last retrofit and it was nice)
    next i went with some rigid dot legal fogs. the are wide as F and have great cutoff. the color matches the headlights pretty good too. the rigid brackets leave a little to be desired so there is a gusset welded in to help them out. made a huge difference is stability.
    i came from a ford (i know i know) so having raptor lights is second nature to me. so i wired in 3 amber led's in the grill thanks to @BlueBottle Love them or hate them i think they add a nice touch up front
    and lastly if all else fails and i dont have enough light i added a rigid 30" sr30 PRO in the lower grill. this thing is insane, not sure ill ever use it but its nice to have.
    i want to give a huge thanks to @inferno_pro_satx for helping with the headlight wiring and the anytime fog light mod. answered all my text and made it super easy
    ill be sure to grab some night time shots and with output soon. enjoy the pics!

    Here are some night shots of the fogs. One pic shows the cutoff, the wall is about 50ft away. The othe4 two are on a foggy night that caught just how flat and wide the beam patter is on the lights. They are perfect for a fog light

    Thanks. I tried to put together a good overall system that worked together and wasn't too "over the top". Plus I don't need over the top but wanted something nice

    either tinted side markers or clear. i think tinted just flows a little better

    yes, working on that

    they are a great light. i see a ton of folks running the BD, and rightfully so they are a great light, but i wanted something that i could use at any time and im in the city 98% of the time. plus im weird that i like things to match and i already had the 30" rigid bar so they go together

    Hopefully these show up in the right order.
    Led drl, fogs, heads and fogs, heads only, heads fogs and 30" rigid led.
    The tree that the led shot lights up is about 100 yards away to give you an idea of distance. You can see from the pics that the fogs give off a ton of light in the foreground and off to the sides. These pics don't really show off the heads to well but I assure you they are a huge improvement over stock. And obviously the 30" rigid is just stupid bright
