- Today I installed my LASFIT H11 LED bulbs for my foglights. A subscriber ordered these for his Taco and got them to fit in the headlight housing with some amount of force. fog lights didn't take much force as you see in my video.
buy them from Amazon here: amzn.to/2zxREbe
I like that they have 1 less part that you need to attach and I noticed that it's much quieter than the Most Plus.

I been watching all types of led bulb review for months now. Good thing I ran into you video. I really like your video because you actually had a review about the fan noise. People usually review the light output but I was more interested on the fan noise. Hope you do an update of how long you been using it or any issues comes up. You got me is your subscriber. Keep up the great work
Hey I appreciate the compliment. Glad I could help. I've had the Most plus for a few months with no issues. The Lasfit is working well too. Great suggestion about updates and long term status. I've had a few other questions about how my paint or other parts have held up so I can consolidate them all. I think a status check on the Taco overall would be good too.
Thanks for subscribing! Happy Friday!
I installed a set of AuxBeam H11 LED bulbs in my fogs, and OMG those suckers are BRIGHT. Also noticed the fan hum, but that is to be expected. The housing barely even gets warm to the touch. Love the AuxBeams.
So I got my Lasfit H11 Swtchback LED's today and installed them. Easy install. They did have the extra piece that goes between the bulb and the connector. They work awesome and thanks to your video the install was easy.
Nice 👍
The intro is so catchy!! Every time I hear it I kinda dance to it😂
Haha yea. That's why i've been keeping the intro. The outro is longer if you wanna dance longer.
Great video. I'm glad you spent the time and effort to go into so much detail. Helps a lot when choosing lights!
Thanks for the comment I appreciate it!
I did a giveaway of these lights and the winner was able to get them into the headlight. He was very happy with the output of them.
Nice review Rob 👍👍
thanks! I appreciate it.
Great video thanks for the information ℹ️ 👍
Any time!
Nice review thank you
Glad it was helpful!
I got the most plus as well no problems. The Lasfit either have better bearings in the fan or the housing is better so you dont hear them as much. And as far as the lil box mid point on the most plus lights that should be a resistor, the lasfit probably has one as well built into the back of the housing of the bulb or its in the plug part.
Thanks for the comment. I suspect better bearings because the housing seems really too open to reduce any noise.
After doing more research that tiny box appears to be a ballast.
thanks again for watching.
I've had problems with the screws as well. I just tighten them a little, about a half turn and they fit normally.
Yea at the time my kung fu wasn't as strong as well. 😂
Thanks for commenting. 👍
Rob, Just saw the video and one thing that I thought of during your comparison of the Lasfit and Mostplus - the Lasfit has a thicker gasket - maybe too thick. It may keep the assembly from seating in far enough and clearing that screw. The Mostplus has a gasket that flattens out when it seals and allows the assembly to seat in further as it locks. Just a thought. Do both type work well overall? I just got a 17 Tacoma, and am thinking of switching out the lights.
Hi. My first thought was the same as yours. It was the gasket so I removed it and tried to insert it and no luck. Then I thought maybe it's just my headlights. I happened to have another set of headlights for a project and the exact same deal with no gasket as that.
Since the other set was outside I could look up close and saw it was definitely the screw. I actually took close up pics and a video about it about it but didn't want a lengthy video on this issue and just make the quick point.
If you force it with more pressure it will clear but I didn't want to take a chance at having removal issues. The fog light socket was the easiest to work with.
As far as working, they both work well. I have the mostplus in my high beam socket and it lights up anything up close and since I have bi-xenon HIDs it just adds to more light.
I'd suggest trying out 1 set of LEDs and switching out from highs, to lows, to fogs to see how you like the output. If you're satisfied then you can expand to all 3 locations. They are the same fitment.
Let me know if you have any more questions and thanks for commenting.
Great video!! Wondering if you have noticed any housing, bulb, lens, or any kind of over heating issues or lens discoloration from this LED set up?
Thanks for watching and the compliment as well.
As far as issues there haven't been. I've recommended these for some time now and never heard any issues as questioned.
What led you use on your low beam since these are tough to fit the Tacoma low beam housing?
They improved the design and these can fit in lows with no issues. I run hid retrofit headlights
Hey man did you buy the grill that color or did you buy it black and get the letters color matched?
I yanked the letters and painted em
Great Review... My RAV4 2017 has stock 19W H16 Halogen Fog light size and that seems the same size like yours I'm not sure though... But replacing it with H11 60W LED may melt light wiring and Projector.. I know it will fit but Wattage what concerns me the most.. Do you have such problems?
Hi,
Thanks for the compliment!
I haven't had issues or seen any reports from anybody on this. Actually feedback from what I read is for the owners are in snow areas it may not be recommended because it doesn't get warm enough to melt the ice/snow off the headlight lens.
Rob Daman OK thanks, that's because I live in Basra, IQ where in July/August Temperature rise up to +120 F, So I'm doing a research to have better LED fog light.. Any recommendations here I mean if you have tried another brands during past months..
Where did you get your side steps. They are longer than the regular ones. I looked around for my 2019 steps with that extended piece but no one had them. Tha ks
It's in stock here..

I just got 2018 sr5 2w and I checked my bulbs the LB h11, HB H8, FOG H16... do all yours say h11 or are they like 2018 tacoma?
You are correct. That's the OEM designation for each bulb but H11 will fit in all the sockets. Keep in mind the h11 leds will be very bright for fogs and I only recommend using them when there is no oncoming traffic such as when using high beams.
I don’t know if I’m super late for asking questions, I have 2020 Tacoma Sr5 V6 can I install the bulbs without any issue?
no issues but you should consider SAE lights if you're running the fogs while other vehicles are nearby
How long did the lights last?
with those 6K low beams, do you get many oncoming traffic flashing their light at you?
+wko77586 hi. I never had a single person flash me. I even cranked up the aim height. I've noticed the light does bleed more towards the sides.
Now if you installed in the fog lights it's definitely going to happen. There's no cut off so it's better for off road use
Rob Daman how do u adjust the height?
How is the low beam bulb the same as the high beam shouldn’t the high beams be different
Hi,
Great question! The size reference for the high beam bulb is H9 while lows are H11 but the socket itself are the same size for all 3 locations including the fogs. So many will replace all 3 with H11 LED or HID.
H11 will be too bright for the fogs though and I recommend them for offroad use only.
Thanks again for commenting.
where did you get the TOYOTA grill? Been looking for on for my taco since i got it two months ago.
i got it via amazon amzn.to/2xRrHEG
you can drop down to other resellers there for a cheaper price if you don't need it fast with Prime.
Does it give you an option to get the letter in the quick sand color? Or is that something you have to let them know you want?
no. it's gray but i first plastidipped it then painted over that. here's how i did it czcams.com/video/GTplSJvx2YI/video.html
Hey rob. I have a question, it is true after tint window, you can't open it for 3 days?? Because i got my car window tinted and that guy told me that.
It depends on the film they use and solution. I've had Huper Optik ceramic installed before and since it's really thick and difficult to install, it basically is dried when done.
Other films have to 'cure' to be sticky and it depends on humidity and outside temperature to dry up enough to roll down the windows.
They'll tell you longer so they won't have to redo it in case you decided to roll down too soon. I think leaving it in the sun for a day or 2 should probably take care of it.
Thanks rob. You always there for me.
+Ryan Duong lol. Anytime.
It's true, you're the only one with the quick response. 👍🏻
+Ryan Duong no prob. Thanks for the compliment
Rob -- what kind of interior lights do you have?
Hi, I got them thru ebay as individual pieces but if you're just wanting to get a set fast you can get them on amazon amzn.to/2xGVgav
Would h11 be to bright for fog lights? What would you recommend for something lighter that you could keep on in the city?
Yes. to run them all the time it's the glare that's teh issue. I did a video with another product that will get the white light and still be have good output. Jason still has them. czcams.com/video/6awPzxVlOzo/video.html
amzn.to/2CSDzGr
Rob Daman and this one would be safe to run all the time?
Yes. It's not as intense as a h11 LED.
Rob Daman thanks so much Rob! Your videos are fantastic! Keep them up 👍🏼
Where i live i get snow now and then, and when its not snow its rain. either way glare is a issue so i went with amber/yellow lights for the h11 fogs on my taco. the amber doesnt blind people like the whites, and the glare back from snow/wet surfaces is way better then with whites, while still adding that low extra illumination so you can actually see the road markings well.
You think shaving the screw down would make it fit better into the low and high beams?
I believe it could but the issue would be warranty. I could have tried to use a large drill bit , remove the screw and see if I can make a bevel cut but most people wouldn't want to do that.
Hmm wondering if maybe even finding a bit smaller of a rubber grommet would work. Might have to order them, remove the screw and maybe try cutting the tip a bit/find a shorter screw and see if that would make a difference in fitment. I'll keep you updated for future reference. Thanks for the video and reply
It's definitely not the rubber grommet. I tried it removed and I have a pair of lights removed (BLHM set) and it still didn't fit. I'm sure forcing it would get in there but I didn't want to chance of breaking the hole.
Let me know what you end up doing. Perhaps I just had a weird pair.
thanks again for watching the video and details.

Okay so little update for some of you guys that may be interested in the lights. I was able to get the bulbs on without any modifications but i did have to kind of force them in enough to be able to turn them into place. As Rob stated the screw does get in the way. I will update further when I get the change to try a few other things
Thanks for the update. I saw the TW post too.
Q: would you know if those Lasfit H11’s would work in my 2012 Tacoma fog lights?...I see several listed on Amazon and I hate to get the wrong thing. I also don’t want to spend over $100. as some are listed around $30. or so. The model number or whatever info would be helpful...Thanks bro! 👍
Hi
I checked this guide www.sylvania-automotive.com
It appears for your Taco it is indeed a H11!
Lasfit are a great bang for the buck LED.
Rob Daman Thanks for the info and your legwork on this...Much appreciated!
Peace.
👍💪✌🏻
How much You pay led fog lights
Hi at the time it was almost $50 but right now it's much less at $31.99 here amzn.to/2kZ1Sd6
it's the same product. thanks for commenting.
Anyone else having problems with clip that releases the harness? I’ve tried pulling and tugging every which way and that sucker does not want to release
try pushing a little then yanking. been a while but i recall some harnesses were tough af
What interior lights do you have?
Hi, in this video they were from Ebay but I just got this pack of bulbs and they're way better amzn.to/2CVIIMz
They are used for the map lights, the rear license plate lights and also that side bulb in the headlight housing.
I really like their products and testing a few other ones from them as well.
here are the front turn signals and reverse lights czcams.com/video/dJJjVaziFFs/video.html
You need to adjust to avoid blinding oncoming traffic?
I would use it only for off-road use or when there's no oncoming traffic like when using high beams
Hey I've got a 17' SR5 Double Cab model. I've heard the SR5's don't have the wiring for LED's. Not even for fog, low or high beam? Is this true? Do you know of a work around for this? Will I have to just purchase an entirely new headlight assembly?
Thanks!
Hi Matt,
All the OEM bulbs are halogen but for lows, fogs and highs you are able to swap them to LED. I wouldn't recommend highs in LED though as the throw isn't as far. This is Jason's SR5 and we swapped out the lows and fogs. czcams.com/video/6awPzxVlOzo/video.html
If you wanted to have LED DRL's like the Off-road, Sport and Pro then you would have to swap headlights and splice the DRL wires to make it work for you.
That's all I needed to know! Thanks a lot!
Oh and one last thing, did your computer throw any errors at you when you replaced em? I've heard of people getting errors from interior and exterior LED installs.
Thanks again man!
+Matt K I haven't had issues with anything I've used or tested on other's trucks. I've heard about aftermarket LED taillights doing that and some reported reception issues but again nothing from the products I've tested.
