    Side by side they look identical. I have had Depot brand Pro taillights close to 2 years. Also look identical and work great. The only other reasonable option is going the bhlm route and that can run around $600+. I was leery of the headlights at first but have zero regrets. I had to splice in to my led drl wiring but now they offer a plug and play option for $25 for those, like me, that had the factory led drl on my Sport.

    For the price, you could buy 4 sets of these compared to the OEM headlights. I see Depos in my very near future...

    Curious, what is your opinion on the rigid fog lights vs. stock? Is the light output any better?

    Thats why I took a chance on them and it paid off well. There are other aftermarket options but Depot has been around for a very long time.

    I personally think so ... it’s also a different color.

    I've had issues with Depo brand products since I used to distribute their parts, but worth a shot for the price to at least check them out. I am unfortunately the type of person that wants everything legit. Twenty years of being in the car industry and building cars I've seen some pretty bad replicas.

    Sorry to hear that. Had DEPO brand in 3 trucks with zero issues. If you mean $1800 legit headlights then go for it. At the Depot price I will switch them out every 2 years and come out better than the "legit" price. I have only been buying and selling and modding cars for 40+ years. But what do I know.

    Oh, I definitely agree with you on trying out the Depo headlights, at $450 for sure worth a try. Rather spend my money elsewhere than $1800 for the Toyota headlights.

    Def brighter than stock halogens. But since these are Rigid Fogs made for OEM, the output is tuned to meet DOT regulations. My definite suggestion is to just buy the rigid fog housing replacement only. (60-80$) then buy actual aftermarket rigid fogs that fit the housing. (60$) $120 vs $400. I bought these a last year before learning this hack :)

    Here’s a link to the Fogs that will fit

    Just retrofit your stock housings.

    That's a good looking rig! Is that lifted?
    I just ordered those "Pro-style" wheels (16 inch gloss black) off ebay a couple days ago. 17's look sweet but I'm mounting my stock 16" Goodyears. How do you like the wheels so far? I like how they are 8 inches wide with a 0 offset. Hope that will push out the tire a bit more than the factory Pros!!
