    TRD PRO grille, OCD consol organizers, DIY wireless phone charger, 33" Michelin Defender LTX MS, Bak revolver X2 tonneau, weathertech liners, 20% tints. DIY pop n lock, 2018 LED headlights, morimoto fogs, TRD shift knob, DirtyDeeds 8"BAM exhaust, kenwood HU,JL amp, Tech12volts Tundra full speaker upgrade w/sub, Swing case, and lots of fluid film
    I'll stick with the h16 but man are they dim. These bulbs look good and are indeed brighter but not what I want long term. When you're ready to unload those morimotos shoot me a PM. You've piqued my interest

    @BlueBottle , what do you think about these? Aren’t these the headlights you’re running right now? @Pudge , sorry, not trying to threadjack

    @louscrw i am a big fan of Philips. That's what I'm running on my headlights right now. But a little bit more and you can get '18 headlights. The light output/control will be much better so that is what i would recommend. Or just do retros. I tried the bulb thing and just wasn't cutting it. Learn from my mistake and just do it right...

    New member here, first post l just traded my 2014 tacoma on a brand new 2017 tundra dc mgm sr5, I kept my OPT7 led headlight and fog light bulbs from my tacoma. I pulled the 3 bottom outer corner screws out from the inner fender and was able to change both headlight bulbs that way...it sucked, but it happened, better than disassembling the grille and everything on a truck with 150 miles on it. Also tacoma fog lights are H11. The only difference is h11 are a higher wattage, due to my bulbs being led they don’t create heat and only draw 9w and standard h16 bulbs draw 11w, so I was able to stick my h11 fog light bulbs in with no issues. Hope this helps!

    My lift kit is sitting in the back seat, my wheels and tires are on the ups truck on the way to my house. These are the best pictures I could get of my lights at the moment, as I’m at work, they’re 6000k, pure white, and they come set up so when you flick your high beams on the low beams also stay on, really nice feature. I love the truck so far.
