Factory fog light issue / replacement?
Vehicle - 2016 TRD Pro
Factory installed 2-in-1 LED projector fog lights with LED DRL
My fog lights stopped working this morning, but my DRL portion was fine. Checked the fuse and it was popped, replaced it and as soon as I turned the main fogs on the driver side fog light started smoking and smelling weird....so my assumption is it's blown.
That being said, I like the factory upgraded LED projector fogs, but is there a better replacement for the factory ones? I assume the factory ones aren't cheap, so it may just be worth it to replace both of them with aftermarket.
I would like to use existing wiring if possible, is there anything out there that's an easy drop in replacement?
Edit. Dealer installed, my bad...

If dealer installed then most likely AUER?
They have a 3 year warranty....
Warranty
...and/or possibly your factory warranty.

Hi halflife78,
I replaced my halogen factory fogs with LEDs' and never had to look back! Here's the purchase info: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 They definitely improve visibility, a wide choice of colors, and the price is (IMHO) negligible @$29.99! Been in for several yrs and never been 'FLASHED' because of the glare factor into on-coming traffic ...and here's a pic of the product:
Oh... and NO WIRING CHANGES, the harness plugs right into the factory fog-light harness! Hope this helps, 'Best to you',

You say a wide choice of colors, but I could only find white on Amazon and the LED Import USA site? No yellow?

...Sorry to be misleading Salvo Jimmy,
by color I was referring to the Thermodynamic scale as in "Kelvin" or K thermal color; this is how light colors are rated, see example below>>>
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelvin
Mine is 6000K, with a pale Ice Blue hue in character!
rig, cheers!

I thought that might be the case but wanted to be sure. I’m looking for a reasonably priced ($50-60 or less for a pair) for a good yellow for better visibility in fog, snow, rain, smoke, etc. Not interested in a “look” or spending $150+.
Thanks for clarifying.

Yellow is a color on the same scale, yellow fogs are usually about 2700K.
It looks like those are only 6000K and not multiple colors. 6000K is blue-white (which isnt great for fog lights IMO because of how blue light is perceived in your eye)

They are not OEM, dealer installed as a selling point. Bring it back, you're under warranty. Dealer has to cover anything aftermarket that was on it when you bought it just the same as they do if it was OEM factory installed.

Wrong.
The Auer 2-in-1 LED DRL are OEM.
I ordered them in my '18 TRD ORP as a port installed option, so they are on the sticker for my 4Runner.
If he had them installed by the dealer when he bought the vehicle, they are still an OEM install, as they have the Toyota PN.
OP: call the dealership, as they are covered by your 3/36k warranty.

Imagine that...
Toyota packaging and PN
https://www.amazon.com/SOUTHEAST-TOY.../dp/B01ETLSG4M
Option code LD401 right off of my window sticker. (Can't get much more OEM than an option code on the window sticker)
Need any more proof?
And yes, if it's offered as a port installed option, it's OEM.
Are you going to argue that the Magnuson made, Toyota branded supercharger for the 4th gen V8 isn't OEM?
Are Nitto tires not OEM on the TRD Pro since Toyota didn't manufacture them?
How about the TRD wheels? They are port installed, not factory installed. Are they not OEM?
How about the N-Fab manufactured steps for the 4Runner, Taco and Tundra that are offered as an option?
You really think Toyota manufactures every little part, and that's the only thing that makes it 'OEM'?
Oh, look at this... a thread started in '15 talking about these very lights, with PNs.
2in1 LED DRL Fogs
