Looking for good set of Aftermarket Head Lamps:

Whats up all,

Im searching and searching, but just cant find a simple smoked headlight replacement. I am eliminating all chrome on my truck and cant handle the sight of them glaring lamps up front. I see the ones on EBAY bun heard they leak.

Found these:


Not bad, $275

But they seem to have a little two much flare, and there is going to be some wiring mods, and I hate wiring. Give me a wrench and im good, hand me a pair of snips or soldering gun and im out... LOL..

want something like the 09 and up. If not I guess i will be trying the BHLM when I return

Oh well, if anyone has got a link let me know.

Thanks.

 

you'll be searching a long time, they don't exist.

 

Aftermarket headlights are lower in quality in every aspect you could possibly imagine! Just BHLM your oem headlights and you will be very happy. Aftermarket lights not only leak (because they are sealed with a sealant of waaay lower quality then oem silicone), they don't hold up well after time (burnt lenses, leaks) and have many other problems (shitty alignments). So pleaase stick with your oem headlights

 

Quick question, what's the purpose for the BHLM?

Is the mod for function or for looks?

My 2010 TRD Sport is Silver, so the chrome looks appropriate. Not sure what the black would look like.

If there's no functional benefit, then I'll skip the BLHM mod.

 

0% functional change, you're just changing the color of the inside, not the reflector bowl. IMO black looks the best on black and white tacomas but silver is very close behind

 

Good point...

I found a set of plug and play halos that just require the BHLM. So I can get the black look im aiming for with a bit of a uniqueness to it.

Here is a pic:

Projector V2's


Install:
Remove headlight from truck
Remove stock bulb
Remove stock bulb retainer hook
Bake headlight
Remove lens
Remove stock bulb shield
Insert LS projector into stock bulb location, No cutting, No drilling, lock in place with LS projector retainer nut
Bake headlight and lens
Re-attach lens
Re-seal lens
Insert headlight in truck
Wire bulbs/ballasts
Light Em Up

Best of both worlds with no crappy replica.

Now to build my confidence in baking the headlights....

 

I just purchased this model in chrome..
Now I read this post of being inferior product than OEM.
I will let you know the outcome.. and review
I like the chrome version..

Does anyone have these installed?

Next Mod's..
LED taillights
Billet grill

 

I've had a set of Ebay lights on my truck for about 2 years now. And i Have never once had an issue. No leaks/fogging/failure of any kind. The only thing i did was just readjust the angle of the lights when i installed them. I stand by the ones i bought although many members will tell you to stay away.

 

WOW - Where did you find these.

How are the quality of the aftermarket led taillights?

 

If any of you guys are in SoCal and need help wiring the after market headlights just let me know. Its actually not too hard. Take care.

 

Roxspin, Trust me when i say just bhlm your stock lights or bhlm and do a retro-fit projector setup on your stock lights. This is the absolute best way you can go! The pnp projectors that are out there like the ones in your pic. just suck imo! Don't waste your money man! There will be many guys support me on this!

 

Yeah, I pretty much decided to stick with the BHLM mod. Not going with the Retros either, cost too much. Rather put that money toward the new DTLT's...

Hey TacoSupreem, I might be hitting you up this summer just to make sure I got the recipe down pack, LOL...

 

^^^lol! Just add tomaters and sour cream and you got tacosupreem!

Put them on, and they are great at night, halo's as running lights.
Plug & play other than the far bolt next to the fender..
I'm pleased with them, I like the looks also....
