Shop around to find better pricing. Sell your OEM units to offset the cost.

 

I know, just want a clean slightly smoked look that doesn't affect light output. SPPCs taillights are perfect, but no longer making the headlights. So will see if I can luck into a pair of TRD pros but think its going to be tall order

 

Uh do your headlights put out ANY light?

Hell no!!! There pure junk and being sent back. If I can't find the TRD Pro lights, i will be going back to clear OEM and calling it a day. Just Sucks you can't find lightly tinted headlights that are classy and not over the top. If someone starts building them, they will make a shit ton of money!!!

 

I provided links to buy OEM smoked lights a few posts earlier. They are readily available.

 

Thanks Crash, but they are 450 dollars, which is a little to steep for me! I would probably say screw it they were 325, but for 450 they can

 

Spending 30 seconds I was able to find them for $400.

I think they may offer a forum discount as well, making them cheaper.

Unfortunately real quality is not cheap. Optionally look for a CAPA aftermarket version of the OEM unit to bring price down further.

 

I hear ya Crash and am definitely all about quality so I will check into it and report back to let ya guys know what I get. And definitely appreciate all the help

 

Well...you could sell me your oem lights
That'd help offset the steep prices?

 

Hey chemdawg, the left headlight is cloudy and Why I'm looking to buy new ones! So if you want to take them off my hands you got em!

 

That sounds great!!
I just need a set to give me time to do bhlm maybe a retrofit down the road =)

 

you shouldnt smoke the lenses on headlights or tail lights , it cuts down on your light output too much for it to be safe. and If you use the nightshade like a lot of people use, then you really screw yourself.
I would recommend painting the inside of your lights where possible and it will give the same look as if the lenses were dark

 

Got these on my '05 and love the look.

 

Hey Daily, what brand are thise. SPPC?

 

I've had these Anzos for 3 years. ( Amazon $180 ) Held up pretty good. No loss of light. The lenses clear coat are just now starting to peel. I just wax them. Still look good.

 

Here's the link to them here. I got them off Amazon and was highly pleased. My only complaint is that the halo rings aren't very bright in the daytime but for $200, I can't complain too much. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0170TLI36/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

 

Cool beans fellas, I appreciate all the feedback and those Anzos are sharp also. Gen II's rule!!!

 

OP, I had to replace my headlights when my truck was in an accident. Toyota also sells the smoked headlight without all of the bulbs, which is about $30 cheaper a light. By swapping all of my bulbs over, I was able to buy 2 OEM Sport headlights for about $350, or about what you're looking to spend. And as others have said, they're way better quality than the aftermarket stuff. On that link above, they are part 5, not 1. You can see the price difference.
