Would not recommend LED "drop-in" bulbs anyway, they have poor glare control and no infrared heating and clearing of the lens during poor weather (when you actually need them).

There is a ton of info on the Tacomaworld post here, relevant links are in the first post:


The LED SAE J583 Fog Pod & Fog Light Review | Tacoma World

I have the Diode Dynamics SS3 pro fogs in yellow. They are excellent.

No issue if you buy quality set and in the right color. You get what you pay for.

Regular or pro configuration?

Yes issue, literally for all of the reasons I just mentioned. Drop-in LED bulbs are good for nothing other than separating fools from their money, myself included. I bought Philips 12793UNIX2 bulbs based on this review: 2016 Toyota 4Runner LED Fog Upgrade | 12793UNIX2

Sounds good, right? They certainly are brighter than the H16 halogen bulbs, but after that they start sucking hard. The cutoff is noticeable, but so is the glare that escapes above the cutoff into the eyes of oncoming traffic. They also don't burn off condensation or snow, because LED lights don't produce infrared light to heat the lens like a halogen bulb.

Plain and simple (and you can take this to the bank), halogen housings are meant for halogen lights. The Frankenstein bulbs that companies sell don't do as well as genuine performance halogen or a dedicated housing replacement, and sometimes they have unintended side effects.

Do the research, and don't trust anyone trying to sell you "the best" LED drop-in bulbs. Including those from Diode Dynamics (a company with excellent dedicated LED lights such as the Stage Series light bars and SS3 pods).

Pro. I also got a set of their driving lights that I plan to install in the upper grill on the high-beam circuit.

Toyota (Oval): Morimoto XB LED Fogs | HID Kit Pros

Wanderlost folks did a review on them. They look good

Those or the oem led is very close in light output (I've had both). the morimoto has a tad more light but is probably due to having some light scatter. The advantage for Morimoto is if you want the blackout look for daytime. If you don't care for blackout save money and get the oem led's.
Oh, seamless pitch but will be posting up the black oem led fogs used no more than 2 months. Pulled them from my 19 when I traded it

Thank you for this thread! I will do more research before I pull the trigger. Too bad I didn't grab Diode's SS3 during pre sale haha.

I have the yellow SS3 Pros in the garage ready for install. All I can say at this point is they are legit quality in the box Based on the hours of my research to even order them, I think you cant go wrong with the SS3s.

i just got my color changing led's looks like a PITA to just do the bulbs.

Don't bother. Color changing LED lights are hugely ineffective because a they require the emitters to be offset (2 sets for different colors, so neither are in the optimized focal point location). Return them while you can still get your money back...

Another vote here for the SS3 Pro's in amber/yellow

its not a money thing, im a car fabricator and get them at cost. used these in lots of builds, no problems with them. they have good diodes

Yikes. It's not the brightness that's a problem, it's the chip placement. There's no way for the original reflector to control the beam pattern with chips everywhere like that. Those won't be very useful as real fog lights. Instagram pictures are probably the limit.

2in1 fron Toyota are awesome. LED DRL and LED fogs. Look great during day and night
