Led headlight and fogs

Thank you!..I really appreciate you helping me out with this!

 

No problem man, here's what it looks like removed so you can get an idea of how to pull.

 

Cool..I was not sure how to take it out or if it was screwed down. I'm known for breaking things..lol

 

I installed the fogs. I can see that it does not fit flush but its fine..It does look better then the stock fogs. I was not sure if I insert those 2 brackets where the inner brackets of the stock fogs uses.. It did fit but not fully so I did not insert it in there. Hope I installed it correctly.lol

 

Are you talking about the two little arms opposite of the arms you screw down? Those are supposed to slide into slots.

 

Yeah..It has a hard time fitting into those slots..Seems like it does not fit right..but I will try tomorrow..

 

It will take a little bit of muscle but they'll go in.

 

I adjusted them and put the fogs into the stock slots. Here are some pics

 

Nice looks good! Especially on a black 4Runner. See what I mean about the gap? It doesn't look out of place at all.

 

Thanks man!.. I see it. It looks fine. I like the look of these over the stock fogs. I really appreciate your help! I should get my xd hids tomorriow. I hope the install goes much more smoother then the fogs..lol..I probably will be here making sure I did things right. I dont use the relays right?

 

The HID's are super easy. Its all plug and play, and the relays are not used. The only "hard" part is drilling the dust cap. I used silicone sealant on the wiring going through the dust cap to make sure nothing would get in.

 

Cool...I will get some silcone sealant

 

Got my xd hid kit..How do you know the bulb is 5000k? I guess when its turned on. Just want to make sure .

 

Mine werent labeled either.

 

Ok..I guess I have wait and see when I put them in..lol.

 

Does the 5000k give a crisp white? You notice any blue hue?

 

There is a noticeable blue hue on startup, and the most faint hint of blue warmed up. They should pretty much be white after about 60 seconds.

 

Nice..

 

You get em' installed yet?

 

Either tomorrow or Saturday I will install them. Did you use the 3mm tape that the ballasts came with?

 

Yep, I mounted the ballasts under the plastic thats on each side of the engine bay.

 

Clean install with the ballasts behind that plastic trim.

 

I might have to adjust my fogs a little. I need it to shine more ahead. on the road. I cant really see it .

 

Very nice install! I was thinking of doing the same

 

Nice that's exactly what I did.

I had to adjust my fogs slightly up.

 

Question about LED foglight bulbs. The stock halogens are 19w. However, most of the replacement LEDs on ebay and other sites are 50w or 80w. Will it cause any harm to switch to a greater wattage bulb since it is a LED???
Thanks

 

Don't bother with Ebay LED's. Get yourself some Morimoto XB's for 130.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I just want to switch for a LED bulb for about $30.

 

Well they're going to have horrible light output and glare. So you're throwing away 30 bucks, on a $40k vehicle.

 

Thanks for ur opinion.
Anyways, back to my original question. Would the higher watt LED bulb harm the existing system running the 19watt factory halogen bulb?
