I have 4 RIGID 2x2 inch Duallys on mine now, They only have 4 LED's per light, so 16 LED's total and I don't need my headlights at all. I had 2 TOTRONS on my side x side, they had 6 lights per Dually, same thing.. but, they were $100 to my door with everything you need to hook up.
The RIGIDS were $125 each for less lumens than the TOTRONS.

MADMAX, that is exactly what I am looking to do to my Tacoma. How hard was the install? Did you buy any special brackets?
The kids took the truck and brought it back like that one night
yes they had to do a little cutting in the plastic and order beefier brackets
He said it wasnt hard to do
do a youtube and/or google searchs, lots of info on the tacomas and I think its like 30 inches
and no I dont use them in town but on a dirt rd, MT rd or late at night with no traffic
they are sweet

One thing I might suggest is upgrading your bulbs. My truck is fairly new but the headlights suck (Dodge). I've noticed over the last few years my vision is much more susceptible to bright light. It takes my eye's much longer to adjust after a car passes with bright lights than it ever used to. So I find myself relying on the white line much more now. Which I hate because I want to know if the person coming at me is in my lane. The factory lights in my truck didn't allow enough light for me to even see the white line in oncoming traffic. Couple that with the longer eye adjustment and at times its darn right scary. I've put quality LED bulbs in my truck and its made a HUGE difference, I can see the white line now all the time and I actually have enough light to see after a car passes and my vision is adjusting. Plus LED's light up signs and reflectors at a much greater distance.

That's good food for thought. I'm talking about in my car though, I think it's the same few guys in my area that have lifted trucks with light bars facing down and exactly into my face lol. I've seen lots of cars slam on brakes crossing paths with them. When I'm in my explorer I've never had an issue cuz it sits higher. I just wish they'd be considerate and turn them off when around other vehicles.

Whoa. Slow down there, pardner. I run the fog lights on my wife's older Explorer, for the simple fact that they provide extra light below the normal headlight plane. It really helps me (and my old eyes) see better at night time. Although I have recently bought new light elements for the Explorer, the headlights are still dim for my vision.

I am the one guy in Washington that doesn't turn on my fogs as a fashion accessory.
I am constantly experimenting with my foglights when there are no other drivers around to 'see' what the perceived advantage might be.
My Toyota Tacoma factory fogs only illuminate the curbs 30' in front of my car, nothing down the road that might be of any use at speeds over 20 mph.
In fog, the additional reflection back into my eyes is less effective than not having them on at all.
The majority of drivers that have them run them regardless of conditions.
The reflection of additional lighting from wet pavement into oncoming drivers' eyes is the issue.
In dry weather, the Dbag following me with their fogs on is reflected by my rearview mirror into my eyes, as well.
I am shopping for driving lights with projector beams for auxiliary lighting and retaliation.

Wow. So just because you don't use them and you don't find them helpful that means no one else can? You sure do think pretty highly of yourself.

Just replace your headlight bulbs and fogs with OPT7 LED's. You keep your factory housings and light dispersion but you get much more available light.
If you think headlights and fog lights are a big issue wait until people start smashing into each other because they switched cars with there spouse and forgot they had to actually use there own foot to brake because there other car does it for them while they text. :bash:

I run my factory foglights on both my truck and my car when it helps illuminate the road. That's what they're there for. They are foglights in name only - no law against running factory lighting if it's not foggy out.That's exactly why I experiment with the fogs....Is there a benefit other than 'LOOK AT HOW COOL I AM!'

Not very likely.
Why else would they be optional?
If there was a definite benefit and they are legal, and they're not annoying or dangerous to other drivers, why ever turn them off?
It's obvious that the status/image conscious drivers (Lexus/Toyota, lifted trucks/SUVs) are the most common abusers.
Gotta be seen.
Post by: MADMAX on February 05, 2016, 01:14:19 PM
Ever use them or been with someone who has them ?
Have you seen how beneficial (deer avoidance) it would be say traveling between Darrington and the N-cascades highway at 2 am ?
If not, try it.
I must be an idiot after 40 years of doing trips to the hunting areas leaving when most people are in bed to think its better to see the deer first.
I dont use them in town, I figure most people dont, and honestly in my area have seen only one dbag with them on, and thought *censored*!
Post by: blackveltbowhunter on February 05, 2016, 01:25:20 PM
I find myself in many situations where more light and not less is beneficial. I will be looking at integrating a led auxiliary into my Tacoma with fogs. For normal driving in town hiway other traffic I rarely use the fog lights, but in heavy fog I only use fogs. Sometimes turning my regular headlights off. High mountain fog can be so thick I have had to pull over or inch along,20 mph in those conditions is absurd.

So, just to be clear - you honestly believe that all factory foglights (not the aftermarket LED Lightbars that MADMAX and the rest of this thread is about) that come equipped on cars and trucks are ONLY good for status and the "look at me" factor, and provide no illumination benefit to the driver? And that is a result of your research... in every vehicle with foglights and through every driver's own pair of eyes? :rolleyes:
If you saw what I drive as a daily driver, you would know for sure I'm not trying to draw attention to myself. But I use the fogs at night all the time, because they illuminate the road better for me to see what's on the ground right in front of the car out to about 15 feet. And since they are a quarter the size of my headlights and only 8-10" off the blacktop, I guarantee you nobody is complaining about me running them. Just because every car doesn't have them, that doesn't make them less useful. Doesn't mean every car shouldn't have them if it would help the driver see though. Up until 1968 seatbelts were an option too.

And your license plate will only block 60% of the light bar???
I mounted the license plate above so it looks good without blocking the light. It took a couple hours to install but was well worth it. My light is a 32" arsenal off-road light from Amazon. It was cheap. So we will see how it does. But I love it so far.

Bingo!I run my factory foglights on both my truck and my car when it helps illuminate the road. That's what they're there for. They are foglights in name only - no law against running factory lighting if it's not foggy out.That's exactly why I experiment with the fogs....Is there a benefit other than 'LOOK AT HOW COOL I AM!'
You sound very certain of yourself thinkingman.
Like the sig line, by the way :tup:
Not very likely.
Why else would they be optional?
If there was a definite benefit and they are legal, and they're not annoying or dangerous to other drivers, why ever turn them off?
It's obvious that the status/image conscious drivers (Lexus/Toyota, lifted trucks/SUVs) are the most common abusers.
Gotta be seen.

Odd question. When you buy these light bars and the smaller ones. Do they make a switch board or something to control the lights?
The ones I've had I just used a 40 amp relay and one switch. I believe most are built to be all on or all off.
