LED conversion Hi Lo Fog: Parts List Question

[bigbadpoppa]

Hi all, been scouring the forum for information and have consolidated all my notes below. Going to change out all my front lights to LED for road use.

Just need a second opinion to make sure I didn't miss anything because I'm in Canada and I have to order all my parts and make a road trip to a nearby mail depot in the USA, so I just want to make sure my parts list is correct and not missing anything important for this full front conversion.

1. Hi Beams (my rig has DRL) 9005
9005 Xtreme LED Pro
9005 LED Headlight Kit | 9005 LED high beam Upgrade

Note: I understand that my high beams will always be on and I can't switch it to DRL since there is no dimmer option. I'm okay with this since I will just switch these off and turn on my low beams once dusk hits.

2. Low Beams H11
2019 4Runner H11 LED Headlight Kit
XenonDepot | 2019 Toyota 4Runner LED Kit | Xtreme H11 LED Pro

3. Fog Light Brackets for OEM housing
Baja Design, Toyota, Tacoma(12-19)/4Runner(10-19)/Tundra(14-19) FPK
Tacoma (12 - Current) / 4Runner (10 - Current) Fog Pocket Kit / Tundra (14 - Current)

4. Fog Lights LED Pair (Amber)
Baja Design Squadron Sport, Pair Amber LED Driving/Combo
Squadron Sport, Pair Amber LED Driving/Combo | Baja Designs

5. Wiring Harness for Fog Lights?
Squadron/S2 Wire Harness-2 lights max 150 watts | Baja Designs

Note: do I need this? I'm not running a separate switch, but plan to get my electrician to wire it to existing factory wiring.

Is there anything else I'm missing in parts to make this all work without flickering or problems that I have neglected to include to avoid error codes?

Am I correct in my readings that there is no drilling required in this whole setup? (eg.no drilling into housing unit like the HID setups)? This is all a true plug and play setup right?

Thanks in advance for any input. Just want to make sure I'm not making multiple trips over the border. Gas is crazy expensive at the moment in my area.

The only question on drilling there is your LED lows as far as I can see. I know that it's really attractive to have everything squirreled away without drilling the dust cover, but as far as I remember the installation instructions from XD tell you to drill... to keep the wiring away from heat, most likely. I don't specifically remember seeing anyone with the XD kit go drill-less, but the Morimoto kit I have. Having said that, they're essentially the same harness so you probably could fit it back there if you are ok with the (theoretical?) risks.

I haven't installed the BD fog kit but their installation instructions will guide you on the drilling there. As far as the harness, make sure the light doesn't already come with one?...or honestly for $30 in your situation I'd just go ahead and get it- it's universal so theoretically your electrical guy could make one but it's going to cost you at least $30 in parts and labor anyway so for that cost just get the BD one and be done with it. Post a write up and pics once you're done! Good luck man.

Just use their DRL Driver and this won't be an issue ? You order that with the bulbs ...

Kk. I'll look into this driver.

A bulb here a bulb there...this parts list is adding up lol. Gotta pay to play I guess.

Indeed, you will be glad you did however its really the best option. I enjoy the look of mine, having the DRL at proper intensity is important too.

Cheers ...
