What have you done to your 5th Gen 4Runner today?

Crash tested them both and got near identical output values, if I remember correctly.

 

Gave it fangs.

 

The German made bulbs edged out the China bulbs 1294 vs 1266 Lux. Probably not even visually noticeable. Still curious to see what I get though.

 

No difference in output, both are made to Phillips specs.

 

They're halogen so not white like LEDs/HIDs. My high beams came with Phillips H9s from the factory. You don't want to use these in the OEM fogs because H9s have no glare caps and will blind on-coming drivers. They're fine in the low beams because the projectors have glare shields.

 

Maybe move the H11 from the headlight down to the fog? I will mess around, see what works and what doesn't. I'm just worried about melting the factory plastic fog light housings. OEM fog bulbs are 19 watts, headlights are 55 watts. A lot more heat there.

 

Let us know if the H11s are brighter than the stock bulbs in the fogs. I went with the OEM LED fog lights for the 4runner. Brighter and less expensive than the Morrimoto XD fog lights.

I cannot find specs on the Toyota LED's.
I know they are 24w. Do you have a link or knowledge of the lumen output of them?
Trying to decide between Morimoto (like the black) or the Toyotas.
Thanks.

 

Ordered a set of fangs on Friday. Really finishes off the little black pieces and adds a nice and sharp tough to it.

 

This should help...

Edit: @Deucer01 beat me to it

 

It appears that the increase in output is minimal.
I do however like that they are OEM & cheaper.
Didn't know they made them in black.
Thanks for everything!

 

No problem. They're not as bright as the KC G4 fogs I have on the Taco but definitely brighter than the stock halogens. Good luck on the selection, let us know what you decide.

 

Am I missing something or is there a misprint somewhere. The description says they are halogen bulbs...
I am confused. Thanks.

 

Looks like Amazon seller is mistaken.
I just googled the part #.

 

I got some on the way. Rigid has some new 360 rounds coming out the sae bajas didnt turn out well so these will fit the bill until the rigids are out. Will more than likely keep them in the factory locations and add the rigids behind the grill

 

The Philips LEDs from Amazon are insanely bright in the OEM fog housings. HUGE improvement over stock. And glare is minimal. I've had friends drive toward me as oncoming traffic would to make sure they're not bothersome. Verdict is they're just fine.

I put yellow laminX on mine so the difference/color in light type between the led fogs and halogen low beams isn't noticeable. And the fogs are still plenty bright.

 

I am attempting to match all the temps of forward lights (fogs, high & low beam) to get a uniform look.
Just not a fan of yellow lightning. Just me.
Thanks.
I have lots of research to do yet...

 

So they must have changed from 9005 to H9 in the high beams from 2018 to 2019 4runners.

 

My 2019 came with Koito 60W HB3 (9005) bulbs

 

Got my Tandem OffRoad sliders. Could write a really long paragraph on my frustrations with the company, but I guess I’ll refrain.

I do think they’re some of the best looking / most functional sliders

 

Caliraised behind grille bracket. Morimoto switchbacks for front turns and plastidipped front valence black.

 

Same here. But Deucer01 above said his came with H9's.

Cannot wait to see @ night.
I like it!

 

The faded lightbar i had on my tacoma for 4 years and it claimed to be 14k lumens, if i remember correctly the caliraised claims to be around 30k lumens. Sooooo should light up great. Lol the old one was bright AF

 

I will have to pop the panel off the door and take a look at the latch, see if she is sticking. It is to the point now that I cannot open the door from the outside and from the inside it is beginning to be hit-or-miss.Not looking forward to what I will/may find in there.

 

I did mines simple just the toyota logo

 

Put some air is my tires.

 

Which switches does everyone use for the leftside of dash for lightbars n such?
