2009, LED City, Fog, High beam and low beam. 3800 lumens each except for city light.
Better than halogen. Phillips 4300 HID stronger and had in headlight and fog, but both sets are out of commission..

....installed Hella Optilux yellow bulbs that replaced the standard fog light bulbs. Wife led the way through a whiteout in snowy conditions recently and said the yellow was distinctly more noticeable in her rear view mirror.
With ski season near its end, the Tundra wheels and Blizzak tires setup will soon go into summer hibernation.

I also ditched the white (wth is up with white??) fog bulbs and went with the same yellow bulbs you picked. Fewer things are as weird as turning on your fogs (when it's actually pea-soupy) and having a blast of white reflect back in your face. I still remember foggy summers in Half Moon Bay...yuk. Currently working on adding Hella 4000 DL's to the front, and perhaps LX rear fogs.
I agree with ClaytonW about a series 70.
My 2 Australian Cattle Dogs (BEST breed in the world) say "WOOF".

WRT rear fogs, I was thinking the same. Specifically, I was wondering if the unused clear slot that does nothing (https://www.clublexus.com/forums/lx-...t-section.html) in the tail lights could be fitted with bright red LEDs on the driver side and connected to the same circuit as the fogs.

For driving lights, you may want to look at Rigid Industries http://www.rigidindustries.com They have a range of LED products/bars that would work well. Much cheaper options on Amazon, but Rigid is a sold brand with quality products.

If you're writing about the clear spot with nothing there on the upper outside lights, nothing goes there...long thread on mud about it a month or so ago.
I'm looking at the lower reflectors just below them on my Cruiser...reflector bottom is even more or less with rear bumper step. I was under the impression that LX's have rear fogs in those 2 locations...am I correct?

This is the spot that does nothing on the LX rear lights. In MUD they determined it was the space where reverse lights would go, and it corresponds to where it does go on the LC
In fact, the reverse lights are in the wrong place on the LX as they glare into the back up camera in the dark. They should have kept it simple and in those unused sections.

i cant believe you guys dont get the 70 series?
thats insane.... toyota without the real landcruiser... like a coffee without sugar haha.
v8 turbo diesel is amazing! even the old 4.2l diesel were good motors just a tad slow lol
and cattle dogs are the greatest, we had them and border collies growing up in the country... these days i live in the suburbs and we have a staffy to protect my **** lol

Got it, and I agree. To generate the same lumens, you need a lot more sq centimeter/inches of light fixture housing with LEDs. Efficient use of energy, but not space and light intensity yet.

im considering doing this, im sick of not being able to see anything from the glare of the reverse lamps... if its been raining or its dark you have no hope. and it rains a lot here lol

Please do the mod and post pictures. That will let me turn the left reverse light into a rear fog light You will do us all a huge favor.

i have rear fogs that work fine though?
im more interested in just moving the reverse lights, but i may flag it on the basis of having to move so much wiring so damn far, (from bottom to top tailgate)
