  • The LED fog light bulbs were great but time to change them to amber pod fog lights. The whole process is very simple to change your stock fog lights or add them if you don't have fog lights already on your toyota tacoma!

    I have a 2021TRD Sport in White arriving at the dealer shortly as a replacement for my 2009 Tacoma SR5. In the great white Northeast of PA, we get snow, November through March. The amber fog lights are definitely a consideration for my first few upgrades. I will be binge watching your channel. My emphasis will be functional versus cosmetic in nature.

    Nice video. I installed mine on my rav4 and they are bright af. Just a tip that helped me, before installing the light, attach the cable to the light first because otherwise it's pretty hard to put it in when the ss3 is already installed.

    You always do extra steps that aren’t needed to complete the mod like the oem switches for your lights you don’t have to take all that stuff off to do it. I reached over the grille and did it without having to remove it. You can also do it from under the truck without a need of a jack, Took 20 mins to complete.
    But thank you for the informational video. Your truck is beautiful !

    How’d you get around the fact that the SL1 bulbs are not legal for headlight use? Love the idea of swapping them out, but kinda pricey to be told the are not legal.

    • @TacoRick
      @TacoRick  3 роки тому +1

      Well legally the law says any headlight bulb other than factor is illegal. Diode dynamics has design theres to meet the specifications of factory bulb coverage / output. But because of that they are not legal. Its an old law dating back to 2007. Cops won't give you any trouble for them and if they do you swap back to stock go get it inspect then switch back to the leds but again I and my friends have never had any trouble for them
