    They're pretty close, honestly. Here's the measured Kelvin color temps for each taken during bench testing. I don't have color temps for the other BD offerings, but having handled them I know they're in the same color pocket as the SAEs:
    • Baja Designs SAE - 3124K
    • SS3 Sport - 2976K
    • SS3 Pro - 2988K

    here’s an update guys,

    i went ahead and purchased my Fogs, went with the SS3 Pro set up... thanks for the help @memario1214

    also, got my refund for my headlight purchase, so last night i decided to order through Lewis Toyota this time around. I ran into another issue...i was charged for the order but never received a confirmation. so i emailed them with a proof of payment, and this morning they respond that the order was declined although my payment was taken. i asked why that happened and their answer was that their system couldn’t verify my shipping address. i did make this purchase using my iPhone, so i would recommend using a computer to avoid any issues. now i need to place a new order for the headlights.

    Happy Friday

    got my Grill Surround, Front Bumper Ends and Rear Bumpers Ends color matched. put the TRD LED Headlights in and also got my Diode Dynamics SS3 Pro Fogs in. love the way it’s coming along.

    got a new question lol
    has anyone done the DRL Amber Delete mod where you De-Pin the gray cable ? i was thinking about doing it, just want someone’s opinion before i de-pin or just clip the cable off. anyone do it on a 2017 or 2014+ ???

    awesome, looks like i’ll be going and doing the de-pin. although this morning for some odd reason the LED turned on as i put turned my truck on. and i had the E-Brake in, so idk why the lights would turn on? any idea fellas?

    i also want to put a switch inside to be able to toggle my fog lights on at any time. if anyone has a link to a thread on how to do that, please send it...thank you

    If you did the retro for harness, mine is tapped into the ignition circuit, so my LED DRL is on whenever my key is on. I thought about adding a relay and a switch to control that so I can turn it off, bit I really have no reason to.

    As for the fog light mod, I saw a thread and used a thread that had a explanation, I had to cut, and jump out the fog light control wires under the dash. It was explained the ECM sends out a signal to the fog light relay to only power when the low beams are on. When you jump the circuit avoiding the ECM you can have your fog lights on low bed, high beams, and markers, and it still functions on the switch, I can find the thread and link it. I just did it, pretty easy. The photo is my fogs on with my markers on the light tree.

    i did the harness from iHacker and it’s tapped into the fuse box. but i’ve had the lights in and set up since last wednesday and it just started doing that today. that’s why it’s weird to me

    Yeah I have the headlight revolution harness so I'm out on that one.

    Here is the link for the fog light mod

    https://www.tundras.com/threads/diy-fog-light-mod.371/

    I did the Eddie V1. I have a 2016 and had to poke around and figure out where the pink wire was as it was a touch different layout, bit I found it somewhere, I'll have to look again.

    I'm working on something to make the fog light anytime plug-and-play. Dang new Tundras have all sorts of "rules" when it comes to auto lights and what not that make things interesting. :rofl:
