Great video man and glad you posted it I was literally just trying to plan on doing the exact same thing to mine. I’ve heard a lot of good about the 2k clear, the fogs look like brand new. Also just realized your in VA so that’s cool, I am too
Yeah for sure, it was a pretty easy process. Just took a few days but I'm really happy with the results. And yeah I recently moved up to the Virginia Beach area. Thanks for watching - Sal
Recently got my 2004 tundra and have never had my fog lights work. Ordered the leds and gonna put them on when they get in. dumb question but where is the turn on for the fog lights?
Lol not a dumb question, its not super clearly marked. Its one of the buttons to the left of the steering wheel by your left knee. I'd double check fuses and stuff if the new LEDs don't work either. Thanks for watching!
Hey man, great video. Just wondering how the 2K clear has held up after 9mos? Looking to do my headlights instead of replacing them assuming you’ve had a good experience with this product. I know it’s great for paint, but I’ve gone through a few headlight restoration kits and I’m still looking for a good solution.
They have actually been holding up really well. I just recently put up a video giving an update with some video clips of what they look like 9 months later. Bottom line though is that they still look practically brand new and haven't yellowed at all. Thanks for watching! ua-cam.com/video/Q8eLkJ1OIj8/v-deo.html
Hello Sal, I just did this on my badly oxidized headlight housings. Now I’m wondering do you wet sand or would you wet sand? Looks like orange peel for me.
I did not need to wet sand after spraying the clear coat, but you could do that to deal with the orange peel. You would just need to finish up with either a hand or machine polish to get the nice clear finish. Thanks for watching
@@JDMDriveway that’s what I ended up doing. Some sanding and buff polishing. It helped quite a bit. I should have done light medium heavy. I went medium medium light. But still much better than lemonade yellow headlights on 20 year old lamps.
Yeah I know what you mean, its definitely a bit confusing lol. I went with the Z3 and the correct size for our trucks is the 9006. Hope this helps, and thanks for watching!
I have a 2000 Tundra and for some reason I’m needing a resistor for this set up. I plugged a resistor into my passenger headlight and the fogs work fine but now my passenger headlight is on when my fogs are engaged. I’m getting a new resistor tho so I’ll see if that fixes the problem. Have you noticed excessive heat from your Auxbeams? Mine were scorching for the short amount of time they were on
Dang that's so weird that some people need an extra resistor with the same setup. It's a small minority so I wonder if it has something to do with subtle differences between years or something small like that? My auxbeam bulbs get warm, but never warm enough to raise any flags for me. Hope the resistor fixes the headlight issue though, and thanks for watching - Sal
They are Goodyear wrangler authority tires in 265/75r16. I made a 10k mile review video here! Thanks for watching - Sal ua-cam.com/video/CV39sFicx64/v-deo.html
Yep, they are, you can access the adjustment nut from the back side of the fog light through the wheel well. I think it just takes a 10mm socket? Hope this helps, thanks for watching
I just tried to find a video or something that I could link for you and it doesn't look like there's much information out there at all. Maybe I'll record a quick video this weekend to help some more people out!
It's actually been holding up really well. They still look really clear and have a nice finish too. Similar to the restoration kits, the more prep work you put in, the better they will come out! Thanks for watching - Sal
@@JDMDrivewaythe fog lights will stay clear for years 2k is the way to go It also has a UV protectant in it which will keep it from fogging up Mistake people make is using 2X 2X is no good Won’t last And comes out horrible Can of 2k spray max is about 25 bucks Almost the same price as all the headlight restoration kits And the kits will last about a year if you are lucky Spraymax clear coat will last for years Also if you do get orange peel Leave it alone for at least a month You want the clear coat to gas out ( completely dry ) Then you can use 2500 sand paper Then 3000 grit And lightly polish it out Factory Finish for sure.
Hey Cristian, I'm honestly not too sure. Looking at pictures I think the main difference is just the shape of the base and how it secures to the housing. I used the H11 bulb on my truck, and the Auxbeam website can show you what size you need for your year/vehicle. Hope this helps - Sal
No, 9005 is completely different from H11. Housing, seal,everything is different. H11 is primarily used as a regular non/highlight position and 9005 is usually used strictly as a highlight bulb. In case you’re wondering about 9006 and 9005, the 9006 is used as a fog lamp primarily because it has a coated tip and lower wattage on the halogen versions. LED versions of course don’t have these differences.

Thanks for posting videos on the tundra, keep it up🤟
Will do! Thanks for watching! - Sal
The beams on my aftermarket headlight housing have terrible beams, I’m going to try this on the oem housings
Yeah, it should work just as well for the headlight housings too! Thanks for watching! - Sal
Thanks for the excellent content. Is there a way to get in touch with you to ask some questions about my own 2000 tundra lighting upgrades?
You can email me at jdmdriveway101@gmail.com! I'm no expert, but I'm happy to help with what I know lol. Thanks for watching
Looks good.
I appreciate it, thanks for watching David! - Sal

Hey dude which bulbs are they from auxbeam?? So many options
Yeah I know what you mean, its definitely a bit confusing lol. I went with the Z3 and the correct size for our trucks is the 9006. Hope this helps, and thanks for watching!
Are these bulbs still going strong? Or whats the scoop.
Yeah they're still doing great, and the clear coat is holding up well too. No complaints here!

I got new fog lights and led bulbs in my 01 tundra and they shine higher than my headlights, do you know if they're adjustable?
Yep, they are, you can access the adjustment nut from the back side of the fog light through the wheel well. I think it just takes a 10mm socket? Hope this helps, thanks for watching
@JDM Driveway I'll give it a try, thanks for the reply!
I just tried to find a video or something that I could link for you and it doesn't look like there's much information out there at all. Maybe I'll record a quick video this weekend to help some more people out!
How’s it holding up after a couple months I’ve done the restoration kits and they usually last about 3 months thinking about doing this to mine
It's actually been holding up really well. They still look really clear and have a nice finish too. Similar to the restoration kits, the more prep work you put in, the better they will come out! Thanks for watching - Sal
@@JDMDrivewaythe fog lights will stay clear for years
2k is the way to go
It also has a UV protectant in it which will keep it from fogging up
Mistake people make is using 2X
2X is no good
Won’t last
And comes out horrible
Can of 2k spray max is about 25 bucks
Almost the same price as all the headlight restoration kits
And the kits will last about a year if you are lucky
Spraymax clear coat will last for years
Also if you do get orange peel
Leave it alone for at least a month
You want the clear coat to gas out ( completely dry )
Then you can use 2500 sand paper
Then 3000 grit
And lightly polish it out
Factory Finish for sure.
Are the H11 and the 9005 fog lights the same?
