    I have a 2013 Tacoma. Looking to upgrade the halogen bulbs. I've been told that I could just get bulbs. I really want the ultra bright headlights. Not sure if it is just a bulb or headlight assembly. Any help would be great.

    I like my piaas on the Tacoma, very bright. I run sylvania silverstar ultras on my Subaru and am very happy with their dollar value.

    I would tell you to save up and get projectors done that way it's done the right way, looks bad ass, and will be brighter and have a great beam aim than any bulb/HID kit out there. I have a hid kit right now that bright as hell but the beam aim is no good so I tend to blind oncoming drivers a bit and after seeing a members truck with projectors and how well they work that's definitely my next upgrade

    I did my retro with s2000 projectors. These things cover 6 lanes of the freeway! Best mod I have done to the truck. 2whe6ir_4fb92ece6008483b3207c21a11ac3c96d5a2a9c5.jpg
