    Which LED high beam bulbs seem to be working the best. I have HID kit on the way for low beams and now want something cheaper for high beams since I almost never use them.

    Stay with OEM then. The prices are around $90 a set for really good bulbs. Which is half what the GTR Gen 3 bulbs are.

    The Xenon Depot Pro LEDs. Check the link in my signature. I have detailed review there. I just really like these bulbs. The customer service is second to none as well.

    However, I should warn you, these LEDs might be better than your HIDs.

    Nice, I’m waiting for my Xenon Depot HIDs to arrive. Will look into the LED bulbs for high beams.

    Ok, cool, I didn't know you were waiting for Xenon Depot HIDs. If they are anything like the LEDs, and I can't for a minute believe they are not, then you did good.

    I'm just big on customer service since I am older and have been on the other side of the counter a few times in my life. I want to call and talk to someone I can understand and who can understand me and get to the bottom of a issue nicely, should one arise. I buy a lot of stuff online, so don't get me wrong, but whenever I can involve a human being I do! :thumbsup:

    I haven't used Xenon Depot's HID, but I've read good things about their kit.

    More importantly, XD's customer service is definitely top notch!! Not only are they smart/knowledgeable about vehicle lighting, but they are very nice and go out of their way to help you out. That goes for when you call them or if you just chat with them through Tacoma World.

    Not only that, they'll try to give you the best deal that they can...even if it's something as simple as savings in shipping costs.

    Luckily, I have not had any issues with their LED Extreme Pro's, so I can't comment on their warranty support, but if it's anything like their other customer service, I don't doubt that they will take care of me without issues.

    Cheers!

    Good stuff in this new video of theirs. I like how they used different vehicle headlights (especially the 3rd gen Tacoma projector style headlight)!

    Your LEDs look great, I don’t think you can wrong with either. Here is from last night in front of my house. They are real bright. Just low beams.

    Don't want to read through all the pages. I installed LED license plate lights and one is already flickering. What's the best ones to buy to not have issues? Thanks in advance!

    I changed out my lights to LEDs a while back. I didn't notice it originally, but after a month or so, the license plate LEDs started flashing. Is this "hyperflashing" that I've seen mentioned or is it likely to be a bad connection? It sometimes happens on both, but prefers the passenger side.

    And if it is hyperflashing, what is the fix?
