That's the cool thing: they are fairly easy to adjust. I just wanted mine for off road. (But they do work on dark paved roads too). I also just put some 100w replacement bulbs in there, and it really brightens up the night. About as bright as the highbeams.

I don't think so, unless it came with fogs from the dealer. IIRC, the bumpers on many of the 4Runners came with either fogs in them, or at least a space for them. Toyota didn't do that with the Tacomas until 05, I believe.

Yeah, Hella (and most other light manufacturers) give more than enough wire to go into the cab. In fact, I actually cut some off - it was too long. If you can get a Toyota switch (I've seen em on ebay), it's really no different than wiring it to an aftermarket switch.
