    Just put on the Anzo U bar led headlights, bought from eBay for about $650CND. Install took about 1/2 hr for both sides. 15 min to take out the screw behind the fender liner.. And 15 min to do everything else. It's an extremely simple DIY. All you need is a 10mm socket, Philips screw driver and a flat head screw driver. The grill and plastic trim under the headlights needed to be removed. Fender liners had 2 bottom screws, once removed, you can just bend the liner back to get in there. There are many good write ups with photos so I won't post any detailed instructions here. Here's the new look..(lighting was bad that time of day will take better photos and night time photos later)image.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpg
    Also I put on some custom bedside decals made by @CBoy808. Very happy with the quality of those and they turned out nice. Thanks Conor!

    Looks awesome man. Thats a pretty good price you got those for. Does that include an HID kit or is it hallogens you are running. How is the light output?
    Im trying to decide what I want to do with mine. With the exchange rate the way it is, Im not sure whats the right way to go.

    Looks good. What bulb do the Anzo headlights use? I heard it was H9?

    Thanks fellas..
    Happy with that price too. Local Calgary shops wanted around a $1000. Ebayer I bought them from had a "best offer" option so we made a deal. Light output at night is the same as stock except the edge of the light on the road is a sharp line (it doesn't fade,see pic) I need to adjust the beam angle higher.
    It is a regular halogen bulb in there..not sure if it's an H9 or H11

    Pretty sure that is a Toyota accessory. They were available to add on when I bought my truck.

    No moisture build up... yet. Will update here if I get any. There is a paper that came in the package that explains moisture build up which makes me worry that they've had issues with it. They show how it happens (if it does) and that it "will go away when it heats up after 10-15 min. If it keeps on happening check the lens seals.. " :fingerscrossed:

    I'll update here if I do have any issues throughout the winter.

    Will post a night photo from the driver seat when I get a chance.
    If you're concerned about light output I think they're fine. Need to aim the beam higher on mine. It's a pain to get to the adjustment screws after they're mounted, but not impossible.

    If you want amazing light output maybe these ones aren't for you. If you want amazing style with decent light output these are them. I've read that other ppl have modified these to HID bulbs. That's always an option. Or even just a brighter halogen to start. And there's always the extra light from the fog lights when needed. If you do any off-roading/hunting at night.. Buy a light bar.

    Here's the Amazon link to the lights - $575 shipped. No real detail on them however, and no reviews. OP, do you think LED lights can be retrofitted into these fixtures? The back of the fixture seems to indicate that the rubber seal would be compromised if you put another light source type in them.

    Also, how is the Ubar powered? From the headlights or parking lights? Any extra wiring needed?
