Diode Dynamics XP80 vs SL2 Fog Bulb Replacement

[DadWagon]

Would love to know why you've gone the way you did on your fogs as well. Trying to decide between the two. Looking for light mostly giving width of vision on forest roads and in heavy rain dusk/ night.

Before you roast me I searched quite a bit and couldn't find any comparison on these two Diode Dynamics models.

If you've got something else you like better that's a direct bulb replacement for a 13 570 I'd love to hear that as well. Thanks!

Your limiting factor is the housing itself. It wont matter what you choose in all reality since the factory optics are subpar compared to aftermarket units. This probably isnt what you wanted to hear, but as a diode dynamics dealer, your money would be better spent on full housing replacements like the elite or SS3 series.

The sl2 are 4-5 brighter than the xp80 but beam patterns will vary between them due to chip design. Can't guarantee which would be better from that perspective, but I'd still lean towards the sl2 with a gun to my head.

yotaforge3d on Etsy sells these adapter brackets for 13-15 models that allow you to run aftermarket fog housings. I think he’s on mud, if you search he should come up

Great option for the LC but not actually needed for the 13-15 LX, they kept the same pattern as 08-11 LX so theres off the shelf options for the tundra that work.

That's actually exactly what I want to hear. Looking for guidance here, genuinely appreciate it.
