    I got a 13 PreRunner. I recently found out I am going to have to start making trips to Key West from SC. Most of this driving will be at night, and I want to be able to light up the road really well. What are some good lighting mods for this purpose?

    Getting there...
    HID retrofit. 4300k or 5k for most output. Higher if you want less usable light, but more blue.

    and THIS! if you do HID’s do a retro fit or you will be really blinding people on the other side of the interstate.

    I may be in the minority but I always though our trucks headlights were better than avg. Hid retrofit is the way to go. Our reflectors are not meant to house hid light bulbs although they can but u run the risk of blinding other drivers.

    yeah i agree! i think it’s a lot of toyotas though. i know the FJ has bright lights stock and so dose the tundra.


    buddies dad had a 11 or 12 f150, and the hi beams where about like the taco’s low beams.
