    I had some tricolor bulbs from Cali Raised. While they were excellent little bulbs that inline breadboard was VERY SUSCEPTIBLE to water impingement. They kept popping fuses after they got wet once(and I mean wet. Underwater wet). SO, if your travels take you to a place where water may inundate the wiring, they’ll likely be trashed. I ended up getting more robust Rigid pods.

    I had their brackets and wiring on my old Tacoma but used some Amazon pods (same design as caliraised) and they worked well without issue. Curious how well the LASFIT LEDs seal in the factory housings. I am worried about it getting condensation inside the housings. I mean overall I like the look of the caliraised option, but like the brightness and option to switch colors with the LASFIT.

    I see. These are what I had... https://caliraisedled.com/products/tri-color-fog-light-replacement-bulb

    Essentially the same as the lasfits. They’re good bulbs. Just don’t drown them. :)

    And also, I did have to reseat them several times before they sealed off well enough to keep the condensation out of the housings.

    Neither. Diode dynamics SS3. Anything else is a waste of money and time.

    One more vote for Diode Dynamics SS3. So happy with them. I bought cheaper fogs in the past and regretted them.

    Had the diode dynamics ss3 in my taco. Absolutely loved them! Hoping they go on sale in the next couple weeks so I can buy them for my tundra.

    Since I now have some time, I'll post why I stated what I did.

    I first tried the Rigid brackets, seem to be the same as the caliraised brackets.
    They are ugly..

    But the TRD Pro bezels with any Rigid fogs and DIY mounting are nice...

    Those are nice. I would get pulled over with those down here because they aren't the diffused lenses.

    Even if they are not on?

    The leds in these pods are on with the parking lights, not very bright.
    I rarely use the actual fog light.
    My amber SAE Rigids were more blinding than the ones I have now..

    Going to wait a few days and see if the SS3 goes on sale for Memorial Day like they did last year.

    I just ordered the diode dynamics SS3 Max yellow fogs. I highly suggest going with @memario1214 to place your order, he’s a good honest vendor who offers fantastic customer service
