    Just joined the forum.

    Are 2.5GEN Tundra/Sequoia LED lights a direct replacement for 2nd Gen Tundra's?

    If not, which LED lights are the preferred replacements for 2nd Gen trucks?

    I am looking for light options for a 2012 Tundra.

    The 2.5 gen Tundra is the 14-21's. Those will not fit a 2012.

    LED headlamps/fogs; interior footlamps.
    I have tried several brands - with and without success and have narrowed down the field of replacement LED headlight bulbs that work well for Me to Auxito brand. I use these and they do not Blind - do not have dark Spots - wide coverage - sharp upper cutoff and white light going much further down the road than OEMs ever did.

    I know lots of folks do not like aftermarket LEDs but if you have a prime acct they are in effect Free to try out to see if they are OK for you. Luck deciding. This kit has both Hi and Low beam replacements.

    Amazon.com: AUXITO 9005/HB3 H11/H8/H9 LED Bulbs Combo, 50000LM Bright 6500K Cool White, 120W Fanless Light Bulbs, Pack of 4 : Automotive

    If you are looking for headlight housings that have LED hi/lo beams and LED turn signals and DRL's, you will likely need to go aftermarket (Morimoto, Alpharex, etc). Some 2nd gen owners have purchased Sequoia LED headlights and installed those on their 2nd gen Tundras. (There are a couple of options for that. OEM and aftermarket. VLAND, if I'm not mistaken. Using Sequoia headlights on a 2nd gen Tundra requires replacing the plastic trim piece just below the headlight itself as the Sequoia headlights are a slightly different shape along the bottom of the headlight housing than the Tundra housings).
