Replacement Tacoma Low/Fog 2019

I bought these to replace the stock (yellowish) halogen bulbs in my 2019 Tacoma. After doing quite a bit of research and watching a few YouTube videos, I settled on an Auxbeam F-16 for both the low beam (projector) and fog lights. The low beam was plug and play and took 5 minutes to replace as the bulb was easily accessible. The fog lights required 3 10mm bolts around the wheel arch and a plastic screw to access the fog lights. The fog lights have access issues, but changing the headlights was easy. Now I know what you're thinking. Why use LEDs for low beam projectors? Well I didn't mean to bother with the HID conversion and to be honest these LEDs, while not optimal for a projector lens, still work well. Yes they have fewer lumens (actual light) projected from them in the low beam but it is whiter light and to me I see clearer with white light than more lumens from a yellowish bulb. Because the Tacoma can turn on both the low beams and the fog lights at the same time, I get a lot of light from my truck. I had no flicker, radio noise, or other electromagnetic interference from these LEDs with my truck. In fact, 2019 Tacoma high beams typically use H9 bulbs, however, H11 bulbs will fit H9 sockets, only H9 bulbs will not fit H11 sockets without modifying the actual bulb first. Technically these LEDs could also be installed in the H9 reflector socket on my 2019 Tacoma - I went with the cheaper 6000K halogen. Auxbeam has fans on the back that you can hear when the car is off. I haven't tried them out over the summer, but I'm sure the fans will be working overtime, which worries me a little. Finally I gave this 4 stars because I want to see how long they last. From what I've read it's anywhere from 1 year to 18 months but considering the price, plug & play and quality build I can't expect more. If there are problems or these LEDs are being tracked, that's not all.
