    I replied to your PM.
    Someone here posted that they had them but the light output was nowhere near the OPT7 Fluxbeam lights that are three times the price.

    Invid did you read the manual to see Toyota speced H9 or did you just decide to do all H11?

    I just have OPT7 H11 as my high beams and they work and fit fine in that spot. The rest of my lights are Morimoto HID & LED.

    Thanks for the quick response. I am just wondering when you say they are bright as he'll did you know Tacoma speced the H9 for high beams and you got the H11 anyway or did you not know Tacoma speced the H9? Thanks

    Well I knew H11 would fit into an H9 socket and I read other people ran H11 in the highs so I just followed suit. They overpower my low beam HIDs because first off the LEDs are bright but secondly because the reflector bounces light everywhere which is fine for high beams.

    There are two things you need to care before make an order 1. choose same type of your original bulbs; 2. check if there are have enough space on your car to install a LED headlights(LED headlights usually has an aluminum heat sink base or cooling fan, these parts outside projector stock, so your car must have enough space to hold the base), see below pic.

    If OPT7 dont fit your car, when you can here reviewkick to find many many led headlights with amazing price, usually 80% off. Like this https://app.reviewkick.com/products/87486, only sell $27.24, I never see a led headlights kit do such price before.

    H9 and H11 are the same bulb. The difference is wattage for halogen bulbs.

    Check your manual and see what it says the bulbs are. As long as you have a few inches of room around the base you'll be fine.

    Possibly, I tried a different LED bulb besides these and they wouldn't fit unless I cut away some material.

    I'm on the fence about ordering these. Are they really not as bright as stock lights like some have mentioned?

    They are brighter then stock. The light itself is very white/bright, and is very clean. The main issue many have is how "far" the light is projected. The stock headlights are made for halogen bulbs, so the LEDs are not projected out as far.

    I have no issues with light output with opt7. But then I am not that old yet and my eyes are fine

    They are plenty bright especially if you put the fluxbeams in your fog lights as well. I had the $33 cree bulbs in my fogs and they are more of a DRL and didn't project light very well.
