Like the title says, my headlight output is worthless, I'd like to invest in a quality foglight setup, the only name brand I recognize is Hella, any one have any recommendations?
Headlights suck, brightest foglights you guys recommend?

If you need better headlamps, foglights won't fulfill your needs.
Check out roundeyes.com, they make headlights housings WITH the option to upgrade/ change bulbs. A better choice if your headlights suck like most.... and Hella does make good foglights, i have the black magic 500s and they basically fill in where my high beam would be.

Wow you guys have thrown in awesome suggestions, I think I'll go w/ a pair of these Rectangular Toyota® Conversion Headlamps - Toyota Headlamps by Roundeyes™ Inc.
and fog lights.
and fog lights.
If u got a 95 those wont work...well it could with some Fab n a new grill...
92-95 got composite lenses and they are different shape, I'm in the process of getting my 95 back to the square ones so I can do a retrofit...I had my retrofit in the flueted lens and it worked but the cutoff wasn't sharp

By the sounds of it(besides fitment), you'll be happy with that setup. The trouble now is figuring out which bulbs to put into the housings... the ones that cone with it are standard, not at all brighter than stock.... FYI. Like I mentioned, I have the hella black magics which put out a much whiter and brighter light. Prob just need to match power and spectrum(any ideas?). good luck

I have a set of 6k HIDS on our 3rd gen 4runner and honestly its too blue for my liking and the output is bright, but can't see as well as say oem halogens. I think I'll just put in a set of sylvanias, and get the fog lights and be done with it.

I've run into the same problem with my 94...no conversions available (at least for the housing), bulb upgrade is all I've found. HID Nation makes a decent kit to upgrade the 9004 bulb to HID, but other than a complete grill, housing, and turn signal fab/replace, I havn't found a "diamond" lens install. Wife got me a set of KC's (630 kit) that work great for long range lights, but in traffic and around town (low beams), my lights still suck.
