Stupid question about headlight/fog light bulbs
Out of all 3 of the 4Runners I have owned, I've never replaced any lights. So this is going to be a stupid question for most of you but I've done a search and can't find the answer I'm looking for.

I want to upgrade to the bright white headlight bulbs, do they make the same model/style for the fog lights to match? Or will they be different brands and different shades of brightness?

IE: I'm looking at Phillips or Silverstars, so if I buy those style headlights is there a similar style fog light bulb from the same company?

Checking the Sylvania website may be a good place to start, see what they offer. Most likely there is nothing for exact color match.

According to the listings for your 2010 T4R SR5 the following halogen bulbs should be these listed:
H11 FOGS
H11 LOWS
9005 HIGHS

If you purchase all the bulbs from the same company, same name designation
IE:


The color should be the same for all bullbs!

There is a thread to upgrade the bulbs that require slight modification to the bulb assembly. However, they are supposed to be remarkably better. I think @eddiebx did the write up. Another Option

And not to state the obvious but I have met people that did not know this - do not touch a halogen bulb with your fingers. The oils on your skin will penetrate the crystal bulb and damage it or cause it to have a burn through.
