Best Fog Light Kit for the 3rd Gen Tundra

What is the best fog light kit you can buy for the Tundra? That is a loaded question and depends on a few factors. Those factors can be price, style, lighting options, and more. Here I am going to list out all the fog light kits on the market that fully replace the OEM lights with aftermarket ones. From there you can compare them yourselves. The "Best Kit" is super subjective because some people may like a brand like Baja Designs but others may think spending that kind of money on lights is crazy. Some people may like Hertic Lighting because they are made in the USA but then that may not be a purchasing point for others. Here I try to inform and answer questions to the best of my knowledge so that as consumes we can "vote with our dollars" on what we think is best. I personally am still looking at kits for my personal truck but what I am looking at is maybe Baja Designs, Heretic lighting, Diode Dynamics, and maybe CaliRaised LED. But again this is super subjective so if you have any thing you want to chime in about please drop a comment. Things You Should Know: More Watts or Lumens does not always mean brighter, engineered lighting output that is less lumens may work better than just and overall brighter light. Fog lights that are not SAE or DOT should not be used on the street as they output light that will blind other drivers like high beams. Diode Dynamics Diode Dynamics has been around in the lighting game for quite some time building a quality light. Some of the key features to know is that they are Made in the USA using global parts, offer unique LED backlighting for this form factor, and as well as offer wide selection you can mix and match beam and color.

Hey y’all,

I’m running the Baja Designs S1 3rd brake light in the hitch mount from Meso Customs, and I’m looking at wiring it through the 7-pin trailer harness. Has anyone here done this before?

What I’m trying to figure out is how to handle the turn signals. From what I understand, the left and right turn circuits would both need to be tied together to make the S1 act as a brake/marker light… but if I do that, wouldn’t it back-feed into the truck?

I remember running into a similar issue on a past setup, and it worked out somehow, but I don’t want to mess anything up on the Tundra without checking first.

If anyone has successfully wired an auxiliary brake light through the 7-pin, or has a cleaner solution for the Meso hitch mount, I’d appreciate the advice.

Thanks in advance!
