Question 2014 ES350 Fog light Question

Hi everyone, looking to change out my OEM white LED fog lights (very weak) with these https://www.diodedynamics.com/fog-li...s350-pair.html. Diodedynamics use yellow led emitters on their SLF version (load level is 8.15 watts, and 0.635 amps at 13.2 volts), and on their S1 cool white version (load 1630 lumens, 20.2 watts, and 1.58 amps at 13.2 volts), with a H11 connection on both.

I cannot find any spec information on the web. I even called Lexus, and they were down right hostile about not giving information. Does anyone have any information on the OEM fog lights? I just want to verify that the OEM version uses a H11 connection, and the load level, so that I do not exceed the the max level of the OEM lights.

I have done a lot of research on this company, and it’s impressive to see their in house test standards. Their warranty is also 3 times longer than the competition. I’ll be doing a YouTube video comparison of the OEM stock fog lights VS the Diodedynamics on the very dark and curvy mountain roads where I live.

Thank you in advance for any information you can share.

Any way to increase your nighttime vision, but not blind oncoming drivers, seems like a good idea. But only if the electrical load isn't so far above the old draw that it could overheat, etc. I have found with replacement "headlights" that are super bright, sadly burn out in a year. Maybe yours will last longer because they are not the old bulb style? Somebody, somewhere should be able to ask your specific question? Like an electrician and an automotive mechanic. The stock fog lights illuminate the sides of the road, but not far forward. Let us know if you install them? They seem very efficient. I wish my HID low beams were as bright as when you first start the car, but as I stated, you'd blind the oncoming drivers. Like some of the newer cars headlights do now.

Yes the H11 fits. I installed some that looked just like the ones on the page link that are the H11 XP80 model ones. I got them from Amazon but they were only $18. They were Brighter and not Yellow light. Looked like a close match to the Stock HID's. Had them in both mu ES and Gs for 2 years with No problems.
