    The light output appears to be quality. Used existing stock bulbs. No upgrade or LED as recommended from manufacturer. So far so good. It really gives the truck a refreshing new look.

    Looks good, I'd agree on the new look. Gives it a modern look too.

    Looks good! I just ordered a pair but haven't installed yet on my 2010 TRD Sport. @SpecializedTaco Curious what you mean on this part --> "They were easy to install, plug and play minus the DRL bar which was an easy mod." What did you have to do for the DRL bar? I searched the forum but wasn't finding anything so thought I would ask, sorry if already posted. Thanks for the info!

    Very nice! Love the look! I'm on the fence about changing out my headlights on this truck though. :rolleyes: I changed mine out on my previous 2008 Tacoma and after time the headlights started to peel! I don't want to spend that money and have them peel again. :(

    @LittleLady808 Thats completely understandable. My lenses were extremely faded so i had to make the decision of staying with the stock look or taking a chance and go with the TacomaBeast/Spyder models. So far i am extremely satisfied with my decision.

    Mfgr recommends upgraded bulbs and you didn't? or the mfgr doesn't recommend upgraded bulbs?

    Correction... on Spyder website shows HID/LED upgrades void warranty.

    Are these H1 as shown on website vs H4 OEM?

    Looks great. So what was the "easy mod" required for the DRLs? I also have a 2010. I thought Toyota had daytime running lights in the 2010s that kept melting the lens? I bought my truck used and it was not set up with the "supposed lens melting DRLs" but always figured there may we wiring there that was just disconnected - which I haven't investigated yet. I was hoping to have the new Spyder DRLs turn on and off with the ignition, and not dependent on turning the parking light switch on and off. Did you connect to the parking light switch connection?

    Those lights look good, debating on pulling the trigger on them also.

    The lens are not smoked. They are very clear. The inside is black giving it the black look. Here's a closer look of mine. Tacoma beast also has chrome ones that look more stock I believe20180701_202714.jpg
