    I just picked up a 2015 Toyota Tundra SR5 and I want to switch out my stock headlights to LED headlights but I noticed that the headlight are adjustable they move up and down so do I have to find a certain LED replacement to fit properly and what the best way to install them also want to change my fog lights do I need to take panels apart? Please help me make my task easier with your experience please.

    I have a 2015, and I switched headlights to the 2019 Pro LED headlights. It has the leveling motor so you can keep that adjustment if you switch out.

    Fog replacement can be somewhat of a pain in the ass due to the cramped area and the removal of the front portion of the wheel well liner. My 2018 had two 10mm screws inside to remove along the edge, one of those plastic push rivets on the far inside of the wheel well, and then two 10mm screws and two 12mm screws underneath.
    When you're taking the small front piece wheel well liner out, you'll have to deal with the bracket that holds it in on the outside edge. You only see the outside parts of the bracket. The majority of the bracket is on the inside of the wheel well liner. Once you take out the two 10mm screws and the four bottom screws, slip something between the bracket and the truck just enough so that you can slide the bracket out with the wheel well liner out. If you don't, you'll snap that bastard off on the inside and it'll fall to the bottom of the bumper.

    If you're looking to swap out the bulbs - get an H4 LED kit for the headlights and H11 HID kit for the fog lamps.
    Dont worry about the leveling motors, they're part of the headlamps assembly, you dont need to mess with it when changing the bulbs.

    Many members have upgraded to 2018+ LED headlamps, it will give your Tundra an updated look.
    Check out the thread of iHacker if you want to go that route - https://www.tundras.com/threads/201...lay-harness-for-2014-2020-models-v-2-0.24416/

    If you are set on only replacing the bulbs, I had the Auxbeams in my headlights and Foglights and had zero issues.

    If you are going to upgrade to the 2018+ LEDs, it can be a little more involved than just swapping the headlights. You'll need to install a harness like the one quoted above or from Headlight Revolution. It's not too bad.

    Juat replaced all exterior bulbs to LED's. All lights in front worked until after re assembling them noticed one of my DRL's stayed off all the time until I turned on the blinker or hazards in which case they then worked. Any recommendations on the fix? Maybe upside down? Either way it looks like I gotta take it all back apart.
