Factory Fog Lights - Best replacement for 2014 LC? (13 Viewers)

[thatLC200]

Has anyone found a good fog light to replace the factory lights on a 2014 LC 200. It has the round ones. Need an amber light that is ideally plug-n-play. Similar to Bajas, Morimotos, KCs, or Heretics. Not looking for just a bulb replacement.

Not to be that guy... but why not use the options you already mentioned? Diode dynamics ss3 and morimoto 4bangers are the best performers out there, BD sae/DD elite/morimoto xv evo are next up, I can't personally speak to heretics.

Auxbeam also makes a lot more affordable DD ss3 clone. There are some Auxbeam YT videos comparing beams and Auxbeam is no slouch performance wise.

I haven't found that any of these companies make an option that fits properly.

OK, but none of those options offer adapters for the 2013-2015 Land Cruiser. If I am wrong, please let us know.

Great, but there is no fitment available for the 2013-2015 Land Cruiser. If I am wrong, please let us know.

I haven't found any either. Still looking...

 

[UT08LX570]

That is a fair point. Each company makes wiring adapters, but unfortunately, all will require custom brackets to make them bolt in so brand is somewhat irrelevant. If I had access to a 13-15 I could easy design and print adapters out of ABS to sell to the masses.

Oops...I live in the LX570 world and wasn't thinking of the differences. Weird that they make it for the LX but not the LC. Usually it's the other way around.

Wow, the work this guy put into making those fogs fit shows me how far outside of my skillset this project would be. Maybe a lightbar in the lower part of the grille would be easier.

All depends on your end goal. Light bars typically aren't sae compliant so technically shouldn't be used on road compared to many of the sae compliant fog options out there. Plus, you need to run a relay harness for them.

Turns out one of my buddies has a new-to-him 13 that I'll be borrowing for a couple days to design some diode dynamics ss3/elite/4banger mounts around so probably 3-4 weeks out on production and listing on my storefront, if you're not in a rush.

If you can come up with something, I'd definitely be in for purchasing a pair of mounts from you.

Okay, Im super interested. And 3-4 weeks would work well. Can you shoot me an email at jgoverlandllc@gmail.com with info? Thanks man!

I'm also very interested - please keep us posted!

You can use Baja Designs SAE fogs from 07-13 Tundra’s. You just gotta bend the bracket a little bit.

Diode Dynamics does make some smaller bars (6" and 12") that are SAE compliant and come in amber options.

True, they are some of the few. I have the 6" ss6 wide lineup and they're very lackluster. I had some SSC2s at one point that out them to shame. Sport level SS3s blow them out of the water as well.

The initial job was difficult, but since the mounts are made from flat stock they can be easily 3D printed as someone pointed out in that thread.

I’m not trying to undercut anyone’s business but do hope to get some dimensions from those in the next couple months and possibly make those parts available to users here. I’m pretty happy with the design I came up with.. wish I had more time to get other 13-15 owners set up.

Yeah it’s odd, but I think it comes down to the large format of the LC parts. The LX uses the same bracket design as a bunch of other Toyotas.. ironically.
