    I’ve seen some similar posts, but haven’t see my exact case, hence me making a new post. I got a new bumper, as well of 2 sets of pod lights. What would be the best way to connect the pod lights (2 on each side of bumper) to the factory dog light wire? I’d like to wire both pod lights into an extra harness so I don’t have to cut off the old fog light harness/clip, but at the same time I don’t know shit about electrical. Carli has some adapters, which are exactly what I need, except for the fact that it’s meant for only one pod light. I need to be able to connect both pod lights to each clip/wire.

    Here are the Carli adapters. Not sure if I’d be able to modify them at all.

    Those will plug into Deutsch connectors.
    That is what I used to make, some Rigids come with these connectors.

    What connectors, if any, do your new lights have on them?

    The OEM fog light plug is the little green thing in this picture:

    The pic you reposted was the end of my new pod light.
    But I think you’re right. If I get both of the pieces you sent me, it should essentially just plug all in. If by chance it doesn’t, then my neighbors will get to enjoy watching me throw a little rage fit.

    The OEM plug is an H11 female plug.
    That adapter has an H11 male plug that should plug right into it..

    I have had 3 different Rigid fog lights and now have Rigid LED pods..

    Does anyone know what adapter can make a bd sae plug and play to an 06 tundra fog plug? Having a hard time finding something that looks like it'll work for some reason.

    Looks like an H11 too. Baja Designs are delphi connectors so you need an H11 to Delphi.
