    To get white only you would get the switchback halo and wire only the white function. This option will be $50 less

    You won't find a better deal using quality parts like these. Keep in mind the white on the switchbacks are more white than the white function on the rgb halos

    Good to know. And the switch backs would also function as a turn signal? So say if I was to get an aftermarket bumper and I couldn't use the stock turn signals, the switchback would function as one? Or does the color changing halos have the same capability? Thank you for your patience in my trying to figure these out.

    That is correct about the switchbacks. I have dual switchback halos and a relentless fab bumper without any problems. RGB halos will not have this capability

    Okay, that's very helpful info. If I was to order mini H1´s, mini Gatling Guns, blacked out, and the switchback halos, that would be $700?

    I'll have to let you know when I'm looking at remodeling the lights. Not sure what really can be done with the 4runner but I'd love some better projectors and halos.

    Logan, what is the difference between the H1 7.0s and the D2S 4.0s? Is it light output or light pattern?

    And how do they compare to the D2S 3.0s?

    Mike! How's it going buddy? Differences are size, hotspot, and more bulb options for D2S. Let me tell you the 4.0s are amazing man and well worth the upgrade from3.0s. Much better performance and way better high beam pattern than the 3.0s

    What's the price difference vs the H1's? Also are they better than the H1's?

    $75 more for the D2S 4.0. I wouldn't say one is "better" than the other but I prefer the D2S 4.0s myself

    Thanks. Curious about the new D2Ss with a 55 watt ballast and 4500K bulbs. Have you run this combo yourself?

    I like the idea of a better high beam light pattern. Also would like a little warmer light output than what I have now.

    Okay, any real differences to the eye between the two while using? Brightness, how much it illuminates, etc.?
