2016 limited: Just wanted to provide an update. The passenger side is exactly how it was described earlier in this thread. There are 3 silver tabs with white clips in them and can be removed relatively easily from under the car by removing the fender flashing. I tried using the factory bracket, but broke the the leveling screw in doing so. Don't see how it's possible to remove the factory fog light with out breaking it. Either way, even with the factory bracket, it did not sit flush so I used the one provided. I did not do any trimming of the brackets and felt it looked fine.

For the driver side you can only remove one clip from under the car, and the other two can be accessed from the top. Just remove the plastic covering the top front portion of the Engine, and you will see one of the clips. The other clip is just above that one.

Here's a pic all done up. The lows are XDdepot HID KIT with the 4300 Philips bulbs. Might swap these out for a 5500

I replaced my low beams with an LED light. The light had a fan and fins on the back of the light. I had to cut away a few fins as the light would not screw in as the housing space was somewhat tight. Are their any restrictions to the size of the bulb and backing with the fog light? I don't want to run into the same issue with the fog lights.


Tutorial was great.

No issues with the TRS fog in an SR5. the mounting tabs are off a tad (5mm I think) but they do go in and there is no space restriction. Plenty of room.

Yeah man, it's quite a common issue with conversion LED bulbs for headlights, but looks likes it's not an issue with the fogs, as they already come with LEDs.

Thank you for the information. I'm trying to avoid the same issue as before. Hopefully cutting away the fins will not hard the LED too much.

Thanks for the reply. Never hurts to have too much information.

Anyone have a picture of the yellow laminX version? Is it a cover you can take on and off or is it a permanent painted lens? I'm trying to decide which color to go with.

Thanks

The laminx is just a colored film you put over the lens. You can remove it when you want but cant reapply. I have them on my stock fogs.

Here's a close up pic for you. It's a thick yellow film that sticks over the lens.

You may want to do a fog light bulb upgrade at the same time as installing the Lamin-X.

I found the near useless factory fog light bulb was completely useless after I installed the Lamin-X.

I installed the Phillips LED bulbs for a noticeable improvement over the factory bulb, let alone the factory bulb with Lamin-x...

Not cheap, but an easy install.

Thanks [MENTION=201719]Magnetic[/MENTION], I had purchased the bulbs first because of exactly what you said...poor lighting from the dogs and arguably the whole 4runner lighting system (have also upgraded interior lights to LED) but as soon as I saw your close up, the decision to go with the amber cover was made. Thanks again for our post !

I totally agree. Upgrading the factory bulb is a must. I purchased a yellow LED bulb, which made for a deeper yellow color when it's on.

Glad to hear you are upgrading the bulb as well.

The Lamin-X photo was actually from Lek300. :thanks: Lek300

I really like the look and it made it easy to see the fog light pattern...

What did you use to Yellow out your Fogs? I sent mine off to Lamin-x and they still lifted. Any help would be appreciated.

Got the Morimoto XB LED fog lights wired up, and they match the HID's perfectly!

Here's the black Morimoto housings

And some night time shots, you can see the nice fog light cutoff (gf was not impressed...)

And the fogs at night

Say cheese! :thumb:

 

[jeroweezy]

do these get hot? like enough to melt the laminx?
