‘05 Tundra

Fog light recommendations.

 

Official welcome.. Any pics of 05 1st gen? We likey pics here.

 

Preferably ones with bulbs. BTW, loved you in the Goonies.



In all seriousness, welcome to the forum. Your bio says you have an '05 limited, I assume you already have fog lights in there? Are you looking to upgrade them or just replace them?

 

yellow

 

yes.

 

No. I don't take barking orders from new people I've never seen, didn't bother to introduce themselves, and show expectation of service.

 

Ones that turn on.

 

And don't fog up.

 

Also, yes.

 

I've been running a pair of these for 12 years. I can't find the part number but they are outstanding.

 

Did you get the foghorn accessory too?

 

I'm just amazed at the climbing ability of your truck. Must have taken some skill to get in that perch perfectly. I'm sure there is a lot of pressure on you to leave your truck there.

 

Whatever you do, DO NOT buy on Scamazon or Fleabay! Last thing you want is some garbage counterfeit knockoff of these!

 

I'll admit with rear wheel drive it was very sketchy to finese myself up there.

 

I did! The anytime fog light mod was also done here.

 

Fire.

 

Are those DOT compliant?

 

Off highway use only... I try to comply.

 

He's a one and done fella, hasn't been seen since he created this thread.
Hopefully he logs back on to see all these sincere "fog light recommendations."

 

you've won the memes for the weekend

 

reminds me of the earlier fgt fog lights. What was toyota thinking when they went to round inserts on later tunnys???

 

I don't mind the round ones on mine. I can't recall what bulbs are in there but they do light up well and fill the close area where my projectors don't. Maybe hard to tell here but from the driver seat they add better color and visibility.

It should be "new guy demanding answers without context or manners". I like to think we're generally welcoming as long as new members follow the basic rules of civil discourse.

 

did you accidentally post the same pic twice?

 

I see the difference now. Thanks for the pics.

 

I think that's just it - the 'one and done' crowd is super strong in this subforum. If you go back 10 pages worth of threads, it'll probably average 2-3 on each page with people coming here with X/Y/Z problem or wanting to do A/B/C thing but are too damn lazy to do the research or pay for professional help.

Instead, they ask, the 'regulars' around here answer, 50%+ of the time I know we get it right the 1st time, and at least 50% of the time, one of two things happen: Either (A) they don't even have the courtesy to reply back to say "yep, this fixed it!" or even "thanks" sometimes. Then we literally never see them again.

It's not like this is unique on this specific subforum or group of forums, it happens at every enthusiast forum out there. Frankly, a number of those folks drive-by post across multiple different forums, go have a 6 pack, and come back later to see what's on the trot lines they set at those forums.

Generally speaking, I think most of us are nice and will share what I'd call "common netiquette" with the newbies => "common netiquette" just being generally common-sense etiquette on the internet. Then we give them the answer they're hunting for, or point them in the right direction, as it should be.

I'm shocked in today's world it's not blatantly obvious you don't just barge into an enthusiast forum with ZERO introduction, and post asking for things. It doesn't get more lazy-beggar than that. People HATE when they get panhandled similarly on the street - "Spare any change? Bum a smoke?" - so why would you do it online?

Bolded/italicized that one point for emphasis. I admit, that's one of my pet peeves. You're making zero effort, posting three words in the format of a Google search term, it's not even a complete sentence, and you expect anyone to take that seriously and reply with any effort or substance at all?

If you can't make the effort to give us a complete sentence, why should anyone here bother with putting in any effort greater than what you chose to? Why not just post that in Google and see what you get? Or into the Search box at the top of this subforum? It's not that complicated.

But no. No dice. You expect us to do the legwork. Again. It's internet panhandling at best.

Maybe we need an always-on-top "super sticky" on this subforum for "Introductions and answers to the most common questions". I think that would at least reduce the drive-by panhandling by half.

 

Speak for yourself!

 

Is this the 1st gen member theme song? Or maybe its just for me.

9012 bulbs in the factory housing. Done. Best plug and play lighting you’ll get.
