    I have a 2014 Tundra Crewmax and recently purchased a set of LED headlight bulbs and fog light bulbs from a local source in the DFW Texas area. Needless to say I'm not impressed at all, don't get me wrong they work and are brighter than the halogens but I'm needing and wanting as bright as possible on both the headlights and fog lights. I plan on applying some lumin-x amber tint to the fog light lens so I need all bulbs to be as bright as possible. So before ordering some off of Amazon I figured I would ask yall first. are there any recommendations that won't break the bank since I've already spent $180 on a set of headlight and fog lightLED's?

    I have supernovas from headlight revolution and they are great. Super Bright and retain the same pattern as halogen bulbs.

    For fog lights I replaced mine with rigid cubes.

    From my experience Lamin-X on Bright LED bulbs does not look good. It makes them a weird green rather than amber or yellow. I tried it on my cubes and ended up taking it off. You will also lose quite a bit of light output.
    If you wanted amber fogs then your best bet is to get ones that are already amber.

    Ok good thanks I'll check out those supernovas, are they very bright, require any modifications for install or adjustment for the correct beam pattern?

    I have Lasfits in my fogs. They work great. I could not even tell I had fogs on with OEM bulbs.

    Bought a set of Lasfit turn signal bulbs from an eBay seller. These were the highly touted "switchback" version. Lasfit advertised no hyper flash. Well they hyper flash. Reached out to Lasfit for help. No help because the eBay seller was not an affiliated reseller.
    They admitted the Gen 3 Tundras had an issue with poor performance but has been corrected. You have to love it when a company stands "way" behind their product.
    Rant over.
