Is it possible to install fog lights on a tundra that does not have fog lights since it’s a base model.

Yes, there is a kit with harness. I would have to dig around for a link. Some of the others here may have some links as well.

Fog lights and running boards

How’s the light output on those headlights?

The lights are extremely bright easily better than the OEM. Makes up for not having fogs or light bar.

Looks like the other style VLAND offers. I went with the sequoia knockoffs, but had considered those (just wasn’t sure how the light output would be).

Another mod would be changing out the grille insert to the style above

you can buy a kit to add them and do the foglight anytime mod where they will come on with the headlights. Or you can buy an oem headlight switch with fog control and install that to make them work like factory (can turn them on or off)

Yeah I would want a kit that would turn on with the headlights but sounds sketchy with tapping into the headlight electronics. So running the switch into the truck sounds safer and simpler.

Great looking truck! I like the early Gen2s the best...

Better shocks and bigger tires get my vote... pretty much always.

Welcome and greetings from Minnesota. Look into a set of Auto Vent Shades tinted window vent shads. Weather Tech makes them too.

A trd pro style grille insert would look slick on your truck. Here is a Pic of mine with it

I think I have a dash switch to get the temp and mileage information working next to your clock. If I can find it I’ll let you know. It’s a nice little upgrade.
