    I’ve read on the Big Gurl from Brasil reviewers stating they have had your same problem.

    I've been reading up and others have had this same problem. Seems like I'm going to have to order ferrite coils?

    Do these bulbs affect the adjustment wheel in the dash?

    No. They're just bulbs. The light housing isn't altered that had the adjustment motor You can still aim them up and down inside the dash.

    I've been reading all through the Lighting section...My question is how can the Auxbeams be comparable to the Morimotos 2Stroke for a fraction of the price ($32 vs $120)??? Even looking at the Specs the Auxbeam crushes the Lumen output of the Morimoto....I guess I'm going with Auxbeam...

    I tried the ferrite coils and they didnt help. I had to remove the Auxbeam headlights. I still have the fogs installed so now I'm driving around with LED fogs and stock headlights. Looking for other options.

    Installed the Auxbeams and initially was disappointed as low beams let a lot to be desired. I read on Amazon review that the Auxbeam
    label on both bulbs should face the driver side. Wrong. They should both face passenger side. After swap and very pleased with them.
    Have the H/L adjustment set to zero. Now I am searching for fog lights as my 2019 SR did not come with them.

    Wondering if the grill needs to be removed to install new led bulbs (Aux Beam) on the 2020 SR5? The manual says that you only have to remove the inside wheel fenders to access the headlights and fog lights.

    Yes the grill needs to be removed to install the LED bulbs. Just did it last weekend. It’s easier than it seems. Plenty of YouTube videos.

    Ok, it just seems weird to me that you tube videos tell you to take apart the front of the truck but the owners manual states that bulbs can be changed from just removing the inside fender. Has anyone tried changing the bulbs by just removing the inside fender?

    Got the Aux Beam Headlights installed. Tried installing the fog lights and they don’t work! Very disappointing!

    I have read through this entire thread and am somewhat confused on which headlight bulb to get from Auxbeam. I see people saying they got an H4 but I have heard of people getting an H11.
    I have a second gen 2013 tundra. Any suggestion on which size is correct?

    The H4 for headlights, I think the h11 is for fog lights. I have a 2014 and installed the Auxbeams in November and love them. You won't be disappointed.

    I think the headlight bulb size may have changed for the 3rd gens (2014 and up) because on multiple automotive bulb and light websites they are saying for a 2013 Tundra to get an H11 bulb size for the low beam headlights. Where as for a 2014 and up they say to get an H4 bulb.

    Looks like the S1- H11 is no longer available on Amazon. Is there any other options from Auxbeam for Foglights, without the fan?

    Surprised i havent seen anyone using the Phillips X-treme Ultinon LEDs. I just installed a set last night in my 2016 and love them. True plug and play. No fighting them at all. The heat sink unscrews so you can put the rubber boot on very easily. Light output is perfect and so is the pattern. Sorry no pics right now but you def wouldnt be disappointed buying these. They are a bit pricey compared to others but you typically get what you pay for. I found mine on ebay for $115.

    Did you have to use the anti flicker wire harness...Auxbeam H4 9003 HB2 P43T LED Headlight Canbus Decoder Error Free Anti Flicker Wiring Harness Adapter Opens in a new tab
    Also, the Wonder Wizard of Amazon tells me these will not fit my 2020 Tundra. Can anyone confirm or say BS to that? They do have a link to other similar bulbs that it says will fit. Is it possible I need the anti flicker to make it compatible?

    just installed both the headlights and fogs. The entire process took about 1 hour to make it happen. This included going slowly the entire time to make sure not to break the tabs on the grille during removal.
    Following the directions listed, made the process a breeze.
    The fogs were actually removed through the front of the bumper, as the process for us was much easier.
    Light output and color look perfect, I don’t see any reason to purchase the OEM LEDs at this point.
