    When I bought my Tundra the previous owner had converted the headlights to LED’s but not the fog lights. I needed them to match so I started by buying a pair of Beamtech LED fog light bulbs on Amazon. When I installed them they weren’t oriented correctly. I know from prior research the diodes need to be at 3 and 9 o’clock. Unfortunately they’re at 4 and 10 (or worse). Picture below for reference. I figured it was just cheap Chinese stuff so I bought some name brand Sylvania LED’s at over 2x the price. Same issue. The blade sits in the housing crooked. Has this happened to anyone else? Is there a fix? I’m not thrilled about keeping the warm white halogen fog lights that don’t match the white-blue LED headlights. I know I can’t be the first person this has happened to.

    Looks like you will need leds that have the indexing collar adjustment. Vleds has some leds that will work.

    Look at the LEDs by Alla. Several options available.

    I have the switchback bulbs, you can have the normal "white" or turn off the fogs, or flash your brights and they can switch to "yellow". So both the white and yellow, either or, depending on what you want at the time. The white is a great match for the factory LED lights, 6k white color. And they set correct in the housings.

    Thanks, I have Lasfits in mine. Never paid attention to how they orient in the housing. Now you made me have to go look at them.
