    Got my 5000K bulbs in. Couldn’t seem to get them to fit with the grommet it came with so I put the stock grommet on the back of the bulb. Still turned them the rest of the way with pliers to get them to fit right. Pretty easy install overall. Now to wait for darkness to fall.

    I bought the xenon depot kit for my 4Runner , The quality of the kit and the customer service was top-notch.

    Got my 5000K installed. Looks like there’s a lot of foreground lighting but a little tiny bit of lacking in the throw down the road, maybe it’s just me. I figured the halogen projectors would be a lot better than a reflector. I think they need to be aimed upwards a little bit, not even sure if the 2016 headlights can be aimed or not. I do notice there’s 2 noticeable beams that shoot out in front.

    I have had problems with output and color match between pairs of CN lights. Minor but noticeable.

    Did you try wiggling in the housing a bit? I've found that both can be impacted by an imperfect fit

    Our HID bulbs come with amp style connectors to connect to the ballast and H11 trigger wires to connect to your factory female H11 connector.

    We finally have them in stock!

    @Facts Only - Yep. If you didn't, please send me a PM with your order info and I'll take a look.

    @Bradd1146 - Our grommets are a little thicker to allow for different headlight tolerances. If needed, please swap them out with your stock grommets (as you've done), and they should twist right in.

    @jtifm - Take a look at this review comparing our XenonDepot branded HID bulbs (not Philips) to CN light:

    http://www.xenondepot.com/2017-ct200h-h11-hid-bulbs-s/99.htm

    OT: If anyone is thinking about going with LED, take a look at this recent review of our H11 Xtreme LED Pro kit (with lux measurements at 30ft):

    http://www.xenondepot.com/2017-ct200h-led-headlight-kit-review-s/101.htm

    Hope this helps,

    Steve
