Just recieved Diode Dynamics SS6 lights for the Tacoma as I couldn't put up with the tragic output of the factory fogs.
Are there any tips or things to be aware of other than what's been gone over in the most popular sellers such as Diode, Rigid, or Baja's install videos?
Thanks

PLEASE DONT PULL OFF THE FENDER. THERE ARE CLIPS THERE THAT YOU CAN BREAK EASILY. Unscrew the fenders and the fender liner and reach behind the liner and unclip the fender or risk breaking the fender clips. You can follow the rest of the video install instructions. I’ve had my front of twice

Thanks for the tip, your truck looks great. I did pulled the front fender flares and didn't break anything although it was hot as hell that day. I'd definitely watch for the fender clips next time. In cold weather the plastic is brittle.
The grill fastener design is terrible. Philips head screws and cheap clips?? There were two clips on the foglight bezel that don't do much that broke(the Philips head screws hold it on as well and are what Toyota should have used).
Overall the job is time consuming but the light output is amazing compared to the factory fog/driving lights.
Would be nice if Diode Dynamics cut the supporting brackets so the foglights were sitting more flush with the bezel. Having the elongated slot where the 10mm head bolts secure the light bar wasn't required and makes alignment more difficult.
