Does your 5-year warranty cover ANYTHING that fails on the headlight assembly?

Ordered mine awhile back, just found this forums, would definitely be interested in an Amber option...

Probably won’t happen, but would be badass to have the option.

It's officially Taco Tuesday here today with the first pallet of lights just coming off the container. The longest-running backorder (and catalyst for a policy change) for Morimoto headlights ends today. Most of these are sold and long overdue, so expect some tracking numbers in the next day or two for those waiting on them. Thank you all very much for your patience. Now the fun begins (when you can install them!).

Anything that fails not due to external damage (ie hitting a deer, traffic collision, etc.), yes!

In looking at one of these on my desk (in preparation to compare to the OEM LED headlight), I noticed they appear to have pre-installed the sub-harness that OEM LED DRL trucks use. If someone without the OEM LED DRL can confirm this piece is removed and the DRL fuse tap harness is then used, I'll be glad to amend the install guide to specify what this sub-harness does and when it is not used.

So I have an sr5 that doesn’t have the oem led. Am I still going to be able to install when it gets to me?

Yes you will, but you will likely need to run the fuse-tap harness and remove the circled sub-harness above. If you can confirm that's what is required for your truck, I can edit it to better explain in the install guide for everyone (and later mentioned in the install videos to follow).

How do I remove the sub harness? Just unplug connector? And are the directions for running the fuse tap harness in the manual/install guide?

Yes, just unplug it. The fuse tap is mentioned on pages 1, 11, and 12: https://www.theretrofitsource.com/media/custom/upload/2016_Tacoma_Headlights.pdf

CELL PHONE PICS ONLY

OEM "TRD BRO" housing vs Morimoto XB LED

Metered output @ highest intensity:
716lux - OEM Reflector
891lux - XB LED

OEM LED DRL is slightly bluer than Morimoto

It will need its own conversion harness on a non-LED truck.

More detailed info / clearer pics soon.

wow, I'm actually impressed with a OEM housing for once. Also surprised with the light coverage on the stock PRO light. Seems less of a hot spot
