So lightwerkz has the vehicle specific kits in stock, but the universal kit ships from DD, like you said. I called and got AMAZING customer service from Brendan.

Lightwerkz trivia: Brandon owns a FJ :nod:

Always glad to help a fellow Houstonian!

Nice!! Couldn't tell from the picture but which one did you get the regular round one or the angled one?

Actually looks like the square pods to me.

Correct I went with the standard/square ones.

Oh ok thanks, I'm debating if I should order the angled or standard round one.

I just went round, easy to fit (square looks similar too). Angled might fit?

Looks great! It was raining today so I had an excuse to light 'em up (as if I needed one)!

I am assuming these are the Pros, not the Sports? Just so people have the reference!

Nope, those are the Sports. The beam isn’t as wide and less intense, but much sharper.

Figured I would move my comments regarding your DD SS3s over to this thread to not overtake the other thread. I think it was a good idea you looked ahead knowing you are wanting a bumper and getting lights you can use now but will for sure fit your future mods. Thanks for the write up and sharing your mod. It completely changed my thought process on fog lights. I need to replace my fog light assemblies, they’re missing the small shield that goes over the bulb so I can’t use them on road without probably blinding everyone. Instead of searching for fog light assemblies, you’re mod would definitely be a upgrade over just LED bulbs in stock housing blinding everyone.

Diode Dynamics are on a Memorial Day 20% sale at the moment. I suggest ordering from Lightwerkz since they have free shipping for $40+ orders, you'll pay for shipping if ordering directly from DD.

Good find. Thank you.

That frontend is HOT :hail: This is exactly the look I have in mind for my white 4Runner.

I haven't found many white 4th gens with both the satoshi grill and matching white lower bumper, much less the fog lights. My lower bumper piece (below the license plate) is silver, and all scraped up. I want to color match that, get a satoshi grill, and replace the fog lights with the Baja Designs Squadron SAE (#257805). Was wondering what plastic piece did you use in front of the pod lights? I was looking at this 3D printed fog light mount (link)

Ordered these on memorial day sale and after waiting 3 weeks it was well worth it. Finished installing these last night, I got the angled version came out pretty well and they are definitly an upgrade than using led in the oem fogs.
