I didn't go this route because I hate when I'm driving at night and get blinded by other people's lights. It's usually because an LED or HID bulb is installed in the wrong housing. I didn't want to blind other people so I could have a cheaper/easier/whatever way of "upgrading."

What is the connection like? Does it just snap into the existing H16 connector???

I have a 2017 and they were a direct fit. Fit exactly into the mounting tabs and the screw holes lined up exactly. Even the cover on the passenger side fit back over the assembly.
They were plug and play with the stock harness and connector.
I can't speak for the lumen comparison. I read through a few of the Tundra forum posts and found good info on Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfYfwpGP9LM
Appreciate the information, bought my daughter a 2018 ORP labor day weekend and the lighting kind of sucks. I was going to go the Morimoto route and am glad I found your post, I too prefer OEM. Did the swap today, and did both sides from under the front, too lazy to put her on a stand, didn't take off the wheels either.
It helped a lot once I got a good look at the passenger shield and noted the clip points. The only thing I am kicking myself is that I did the same on my 2012 IS-F (Lexus started to replace the halogen w/ LED in 2013), and when I sold the IS-F last May, I didn't bother to swap the fogs out. Could have saved another 2 bills (same P/N's).
Thanks for the post again.

Big question -- was there any need to adjust the lights or was it good to go out of the box?
How do you remove the lights from the rear -- on my limited there are shields over both the light fixtures -- do those come off???

Woo-hoo
Just finished putting mine in.
This is so easy why can't toyota do this at the factory???
All you have to do is remove the white clip at the top of the light cover, and remove the screw at the left of the light (driver side, reverse for passenger)
That chrome piece will push out, be careful and don't go to far. You should be able to get it out enough to remove the two screws holding in the old fog light and pull out the old light and swap in the new one.
Then careful pushing it back into place and make sure all the tabs go in and seat. Put the white tab back in and screw, attach the plug and VOILA, LED fog lights from the factory that look great.
Looks like the aim was on too right out of the box.
Wish I had done this first thing rather than try and find an upgrade for an H16 bulb.

Wish I would have found these before I got the bajas.

I just installed these. What a pain!! I had to go through the wheel well, loosen the fender liners, remove plastic pins, a screw and unhook the fog lights, then open the hood, remove the radiator cover, reach inside to remove the other pins that hold the fog light housing in place. Once the housing was out it took 3 minutes to install the LED fogs. The beam matched perfectly with the halogen beams so I didn't have to re-aim them. I'll see how they look at night with my Morimoto 2Stroke 2.0 low beams. The whole project took 3 hours. What an awful design. I tried to take photos of the whole process but it was such a tight area that I wasn't able to. The only one I took was of the front bumper after the fog light housing was removed.

Nice photos! What camera is that? What headlights are you running?

What headlight bulbs are you running? In the night pictures you posted, it looks like you're running something besides stock halogens.

Do they come as a pair or do you have to order them separately?
The ones OP quoted come individually as left or right and those are made in Japan. Looks like Toyota released some that come in a paand are made in China, search for PT41342191, these are the ones with black bezel and there is a different P/N (PT413-42190) for the chrome bezel ones. According to Toyota's part page, these fit 2019 4R's, not sure if the mounting is different in the 2019 as compared to previous 5th Gen's.
BTW, the China made pairs are ~ half the cost of the 2 individual ones together.

If I order the individual left and right that OP has provided the part numbers for, do I need anything else (screws, covers, etc.)?
You don't need anything else since you will be reusing the existing screws.
BTW, according to #8 post of this thread, the member installed the less expensive pair (ones available for 2019 models) on his 2018 https://www.4runners.com/threads/oem-led-foglights-upgrade.7791/

These are not the new rigid LED fogs on the 2019 TRD Pro. Those aren't available for purchase from dealers yet unless you have a 2019 TRD Pro VIN.
