The BEST LED Bulbs on the Market for the Toyota Tacoma, 4Runner, and MORE! Headlights & Fog Lights

[@LionRunner]

@5:46 Thank you for the garage door shot for the people who cry about installing LEDS in halogen projectors claiming the have glare. Very nice to see that clean cut-off line. I've been testing few LED bulbs on my 2018/2019 4Runners (including some Amazon ones) and so far all have nice cut off line. Obviously one should adjust the headlight level after lift and bigger tires. I'm so glad now we can see the road vs halogen days. As long as I see a nice cut-off line on the LED bulb I don't care for hate comments. No I don't want to spend money for whole headlight housing, the hassle to install, the hassle to tap fuses for DRLs for my 4R and I see headlight housings you have to remove the whole housing to change the bulb. No thank you. I will just buy a low cost LED bulb for my existing housing.

[@roochiecooch]

Personally there has been a lot of tests with different brand LED PnP bulbs in the Tacoma. The one that produced the best usable beam in the low beam projector was the Morimoto 2 Stroke 3.0 bulb. It produced an identical beam pattern to the oem but with just a lot more brightness isn’t he hotspots. It even added a nice bluish hue to the cutoff like oem led projectors. Second place was the Xenon Depot Xtreme LED Pro’s. Third place was basically tied between the GTR lighting ultra 2.0 and the VLEDs top of the line bulb like these. Most of the rest all warped the cutoff line past acceptable levels or dropped the hotspot to the point where it would be brightest only about 20 meters out in front of the truck.

[@808_TexN]

I had the Morimoto 2Stroke 3.0 in my 4Runner and they were garbage. The best ones I’ve found and are super bright white are the new Hikari Titanova.

[@willdembik688]

Never tried these bulbs, but currently running amber diode dynamics ss3 fogs on my Tacoma and literally never looked back, they are amazing and cut thru wny snow like swiss cheese..

[@Runnin4Tacos]

Oh yeah, that is a completely different ball game. We love the SS3s as well

[@apom316]

Thanks so much for this video, I just purchase a 2023 Tacoma Trail Edition, change to this VLED Micro Extreme, and I am very happy, the road looks waaaaay better now. I ll be adding new fog lights to my Taco and will add the VLEDS Micro s yellow light to it, Thanks again great review for sure!

[@kylestokley91]

I want to see a video of you guys comparing the GTR Ultra 2s and Morimoto 2 stroke 3.0s to these ones

How about some customer service and at least an acknowledgement of an order from four days ago

[@timdavenport2943]

What do you recommend for 2005 Toyota 4Runner High, Low beams and fog lights?

[@MontereyBayLounge]

I been using nineo 2200lm 120w for rigs in my Tacoma and they are one of the brightest I have ever mounted. I used hikari one of the brightest and downs come close to nineo. For $79 works perfect for projectors not sure about reflector headlights.

[@nelsonschroeder2842]

Thanks for the great information. Do you recommend changing out the high beams to LED’s as well?

[@russell802208]

I switched my low beams to LED 2 years ago on my Toyota and planned to upgrade my high beams but in the last 2 years I find I never use high beams except to flash others to turn theirs off.

[@bennyjett357]

Do you all sale bottom plate to cover the catalytic converter for tacoma

[@TxConfidential]

I'm running lasfit led lights with the fan integrated in the dust cover. They're ok but nothing compared to My colorados GTR lighting leds.

[@gapo62angler93]

Thanks for the video. You’re out of the amber fog light bulb so I put it on my wishlist and you don’t have the link for the headlight. Tnx

[@onlinesearch4134]

Actually showing the install would have been helpful as well. Talking about the light pattern it throws out would also be helpful. Getting the brightest lights isn’t always the best performance.

[@TxConfidential]

Ughhhhhh, I'm sure you don't need a rocket equation formula to install these on your vehicle. Also you can clearly SEE the beam pattern if you watched the video. And I'm pretty sure brightness is a way of measuring the performance of a light? Hey but what do I know. 😁

[@coop8267]

@@TxConfidential pattern, throw and color temp are important also

[@bartcanuck734]

An LED bulb instal video? 😂😂😂 can we also get a video to put air in tires?

[@rayleung1]

GTR LED is by far the brightest.

[@rich4136]

For my 2021 4runner my Drl are the high beams light which is just regular bulbs. Can I change that to Leds and can I still use it as my Drl lights?

[@michaelmckinney2064]

I have a 2013 Taco, and it has a high/low bulb. Which bulb would you suggest?

[@alexhess726]

The link to the fog lights seems to be working, but the link to the other headlights is no where to be found when clicking on it. Is there a different way to locate these bulbs?

[@tysonp2867]

How long do LED bulbs last when you install them like this?

[@victorvega3498]

A video on how to index the low beams would be cool. Or does that even matter with these?

[@dannyc4419]

What about the hi beam lights

[@skateinspace]

LEDs are my pet peeve when it comes to tacomas. i love getting my eyes burned when i see tacomas with LED's in the fog lights. do it corrently and put them in the correct housing.

[@willdembik688]

Having a lifted tacoma and aftermarket fogs will tend to do that. Mine are mounted properly and I still get flashed with my amber ss3's with a 3" lift constantly. They're also DOT/ SAE approved so guess you should get a bigger truck with a higher line of view then 😉

[@skateinspace]

@@willdembik688 cue track "i wear my sunglasses at night" haha

[@jackk1583]

Great vid- luv the matter of fact commentary. Quest: Would these work in -22 taco trail E? Compatable w/ front radar?? Also, how do u handle 'no fog lites' in same veh? Really dumb in TrailE not to have them.

[@fabianramirez1216]

Noticed you installed the vled extreme 9005 for the low beams, mine say h11 are they both the same or would I have to stick with h11?

[@edwinmaldonado8761]

Great video and informative. For that price save a little and buy yourself some headlights that are actually led and compatible with what ever Taco you have.

[@mustangecoboosthpp3869]

Sadly many of the after headlight assemblies will flake off their UV coating within a year, some have stopped working correctly because they are just not OEM quality and do not go through OEM testing, so it is is choice of $800 plus dollars for the entire aftermarket LED light assembly or $200 dollars for LED bulbs and keeping the OEM headlight assembly then I will go with the LED bulbs.

[@dmtv9470]

What color temperature for the bulbs was used on this video 5000k or 6000k?

[@aaronmacy9134]

It drove me nuts that he never mentioned the color temp of the low beams. It’s 5k. I put the vid on 1080p and then took a screenshot of the boxes at 3:08 and zoomed in on the stickers. Its listed as 5k at the top right of the sticker above the bar code.

[@kaiminalualan7138]

I have a 2023 rav4 woodland what would be the best bang for the buck foglight the vled, Baja design, or something else? Thanks for the great content

[@Runnin4Tacos]

If you just want to change out the bulb. Then VLED. But for an extra $150 you can get the Baja fog pocket kit that has the bezels. It looks a lot better. runnin4tacos.com/products/baja-designs-squardron-r-sae-fog-pocket-light-kit-toyota-rav4-2016-2021?_pos=2&_sid=0f55a8573&_ss=r

[@bartcanuck734]

Where is that link for these bulbs?

[@4bvenom733]

How do I keep the foglights running when the drl running for rain and snow

[@pagodad8079]

Turn the running lights to the on position. This is one turn back from the headlights completely on position. Then turn the fog lights on.

[@userwaianae8841]

Can this fit in 5th gen 4Runners?

[@Rugged_Peaks_Media]

Have you guys tried supernova v.4 leds? I've run them in 2 trucks and they are by far the best light I've found especially up here in Alaska with extreme Temps. Ive only had one bulb go bad on me in 8 years of running them on 2 different trucks.

[@13postie]

This video describes both the "HIGH" beam white, and the "FOG" yellow lights. It shows only the FOG lights turned on, by themselves. My 2017 Tacoma requires the headlights to be on, to allow the FOG lights to operate. Did they modify the light switch to allow the FOG without the headlights?

[@Runnin4Tacos]

Yes, it is modified. Here is the link to the product. runnin4tacos.com/products/the-brite-box-toyota-tacoma-2005-2021?_pos=2&_sid=3679b5838&_ss=r&variant=39418745749553

[@njackson3148]

$180 for led bulbs....I've been using the $30 HIKARI's for years in all my vehicles. are these really 6 times better than the Hikari's?

[@Runnin4Tacos]

If you are happy with $30 bulbs then you don't need to explore other options. We've tested bulbs of all price ranges and for those who want the very best then yes.

[@GriffinBry]

Can you provide any info on those quicksand letters for the grill?

[@Runnin4Tacos]

YESSIR. We Might have some left. Please reach out to Hugo or Celeste at 303-909-6047. They are pretty busy, so please leave a message if they don't pick up.

[@philipollogx4702]

Have you tried the DDM Saber ProX Accu 55w version 2?

[@houla]

I live in the mountains on skinny roads and could benefit from some better lighting on my 20' Runner, but those prices are a bit ridiculous.

[@Runnin4Tacos]

They are not cheap for sure but there are full replacement fog light kits for $400+ that are even brighter. So there is that to put things into perspective

[@matthewmayberry7984]

Do you need anti flicker module if your putting led bulbs in these specific headlights?

[@Runnin4Tacos]

We didn't need it, But it depends on how many amps your truck is drawing from that specific fuse.

[@camronbay1]

Are these micro bulbs on your website.

[@milosmanojlovic5805]

What about LASFIT

[@bryanr.3241]

I just went and traded out my stock lights for Morimoto XB LED Gen2. Expensive but worth the money if you have it. Thanks for all your videos 👍 By the way , did your raptor lights fit in that first row above Toyota fit with no problem ? I have mine 4 across but in the row above yours and they seem to close together. Thanks

[@dexedr1ne]

Are these the same for the high beam?

[@Runnin4Tacos]

Yes, they are the same bulb.

[@dexedr1ne]

@@Runnin4Tacos thank you!

[@TheKingDorito]

2018 Tacoma TRD - bought the yellow 3k fog light bulbs and they just slipped in. I didn’t see anything that was lockable. They didn’t seem to fall out but after a few weeks I lost one to the road. Did I miss something?

[@Runnin4Tacos]

They should definitely lock just like your OEM bulb. there is a specific way these have to be screwed in. 1 out of 3 prongs is larger than the other 2 and has to be inserted correctly in order to get a full lock.

[@christophernicoleallen4947]

I would love to buy the same set for 2021 TRD, do you have them in stock?

[@Runnin4Tacos]

These are normally ready to ship from the manufacturer. IF they have them in stock. They move fast so it's hard to know when they have them or not. [e-mail] can give you a better time on that.

[@jimmyvo6918]

Have you guys use diode dynamics LED for the headlight just want to know you guys opinion

[@devdev9038]

I had them on my 2018 Tacoma they’re okay. Not brighter than OE just cleaner with the LED

[@Seattle808]

For lo-beams GTR Ultra 2.0 is hands down the best.

[@Runnin4Tacos]

We love those too but these just a tad more

[@TheOriginalDJMoses]

I just tried to look up the Extreme bulbs but 404 page not found.

[@jeffkwasny62]

What about high beam bulbs will the Tacoma handle high beam leds?

[@Runnin4Tacos]

They use the same H11 bulbs actually so you can install a pair of the same bulbs for the low and high.

[@enkei3836]

would you guys upgrade the bulbs in the 2022 led tacomas?

[@camronbay1]

I have a 2022 Tacoma as well I installed the Baja designs fog lights excellent lights I need to install better headlights.

[@neng631]

Do you guys have any for 2017 Toyota Tundras?

[@Runnin4Tacos]

We actually do now. We just got them on the website yesterday

[@vncentngyn]

Hey guys, what do you do usually when you replace the factory TACOMA parts like headlights when you switch them to aftermarket ones? Does anyone know where to sell them?

[@tonychaney6513]

just my opinion but keep them as backups

[@shaunfinnemore5633]

Will this fit in a 4g 4runner for FOGS?

[@Runnin4Tacos]

I'm not sure what size bulbs the 4G uses but if it's an H11 bulb then yes

[@erichalpern3019]

Pretty sure LED replacements in halogen housings is not street legal except for fogs.

H-R says yellow leds don't cut through fog like yellow halogens do since they are multiple wavelength vs single wavelength. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aaqXoKSIas2bqJYsi=7UVy4_sJhlDYTkBr

Can we stop putting led light bulbs in projector housings meant for halogens… buy actual led housings or retrofit. If you can afford a snorkel you can afford to do it right.

[@Pavimo_]

I have proper headlights on this truck. Just put stock ones on for this video to show an option for people who can’t afford to upgrade right away.

[@elesjuan]

@@Pavimo_ I don't mean to come across like a dick here, but if people can't afford to do it right, they need to just leave the correct bulbs that the housings were designed for until they can afford to do it right. It's not that hard, and it's not all that expensive to do it right.. I've retrofit countless housings with proper hid projectors and quality hid light kits for under $300 all in. The taco/4r halogen projectors might not be all that bad with led/hid bulbs, I'll give you that, but man am I sick and tired of having my soul lit on fire every single time I drive anywhere at night because cheap lazy idiots think they know more than literal engineers who design headlights, and toss in some shitty Chyna special hid/led bulb into their 1986 Ford f150 trash truck's awful halogen headlights. You can't leave my house at any time if the evening/night and drive five minutes without encountering ten such idiots.
