Top LED Lighting Upgrades for the 2016-2020 Toyota Tacoma

If you’re like most Toyota Tacoma owners, you probably love your truck. Since 1995, Toyota has been producing one of the toughest, most reliable mid-size pickup trucks on the market. Even in 2020, it’s not uncommon to see early Tacoma’s with 400,000+ miles on the odometer.

Now on the 3rd generation, the Toyota Tacoma has one of the most loyal followings in all of the automotive world. Tacoma owners are well-known for buying one “Taco” after another and upgrading each along the way.

Undoubtedly, one of the most popular upgrades for the 2016-2019 Toyota Tacoma is lighting. From the factory, the 2016-2019 Tacoma features more than it’s share of outdated incandescent bulbs. The dim, yellowish output from the factory lights just don’t match the Tacoma’s 21st-century presence.

But that’s ok! Diode Dynamics offers plug-and-play LED bulb replacements for nearly every light on the 2016-2020 Toyota Tacoma. Which bulbs should you upgrade first? Keep reading below to see our top 5 lighting upgrades for the 2016-2020 Toyota Tacoma!


Diode Dynamics SLF Fog Light LED Bulbs

One of our favorite lighting mods for the 2016-2020 Toyota Tacoma is our SLF and SL1 LED Fog Light Bulbs! Unlike cheap LED bulbs from Amazon or eBay that may be prone to failure, our SL1 and SLF LED Fog Light Bulbs are 100% designed and manufactured right here in St. Louis for maximum reliability. Plus, for the 2016-2020 Tacoma, our LED Fog Lights are a drop-in upgrade!

SLF LED Fog Light Bulbs

SLF: Our H11-size SLF LED Fog Lights provide 780 lab-proven lumens. While there are other companies that claim to have fog light bulbs with a brighter output, they don't take into account the importance of focus. The SLF was engineered and extensively tested to mimic the focal point of your Tacoma's halogen fog lights, providing more usable light output, without causing any glare.

To get the look you’re after, our H11-size SLF LED Fog Light Bulbs are available in a fresh 6000K cool white, and a truly unique 3000K pure yellow. 

SL1 LED Fog Light Bulbs

SL1: Available in a 6000K cool white color, our H11-size SL1 LED Fog Lights provide a whopping 1630 tested lumens, making them one of the brightest LED fog lights available for the 2016-2020 Toyota Tacoma! Much like the SLF, the SL1 matches the factory halogen bulb's filament location, combining focused output with a huge increase in brightness. The result is significantly more visibility at night!
 
There’s no shortage of imported LED fog lights claiming to be the brightest. However, most of these bulbs haven’t actually proven how bright they are! To ensure accuracy, we’ve verified the SLF and SL1's light output in our St. Louis laboratory. Because our bulb's light output is proven and not a crude estimation, we can confidently say they are some of the brightest LED fog lights on the market!
