    Last night was the first night I was able to drive the new to me 2013 SR5 Tundra at night. I noticed a weird flicker when I had the headlights on and determined it's the fog lights. Hard to describe, but it's like either the bulb is loose in the housing and subtlety bouncing up and down or it's getting a extra shot electricity. Another way to describe is it's almost like there's water in the housing, but none is there.

    Anyone else have/seen this issue? Going to dig into it sometime this weekend, but if this has happened to you, what was it and what was the fix?

    So I poked around today on the fog lights and sure enough, the housing itself is loose. Need to investigate more, so I either need to replace them or figure out a way to make them stay in place. Should be a simple fix...

    Yeah it's pretty common. I replaced mine with Rigid DOT approved leds. You could just gain access to them through the wheel well and put some JB Weld on the mount points.

    Yeah that's going to be an easier option.
