What's the difference between H16 and 5202 LED bulbs for the Tundra?

2014+ Tundras have a new fog light housing and a new fog light bulb. These new bulbs are now labeled as H16. Until this fog light housing came out, the bulb style used has never been called an H16. Before this light was released, an H16 bulb looked totally different than this new bulb. The new Tundra fog light bulb is actually more like an H11 bulb. This has caused a lot of confusion when upgrading the new Tundra fog lights.

The problem is all aftermarket LED manufacturers call the 5202 bulb an H16… If you buy an H16 LED bulb from ANYONE, you will not get the right bulb for your Tundra! When picking an LED bulb to replace your stock Toyota Tundra fog light bulb, your best bet is to order an H11. Here’s why:
