    Plus they are dealing with the fall out of UPS loosing packages and how to get replacements to those people - like me :) My assumption is that is slowing things down as well.

    What's strange is in the case I made with them it stated they could not find the package so I am wondering if the lights got returned to sender by whomever it was delivered too initially

    I doubt it. They would try to re-deliver it or send you a "package returned to shipper" notification. Besides, who would turn in a brand new free box of headlights o_O

    My fiance got this for me as a gift. I'm actually disappointed with these headlights. Especially for how much she paid. In all the photos , website and "hype" The L.E.D strip on the headlights looked to be bright "pure white with no hint of yellow." Instead it's White-yellow. My fiance stock Elantra is much brighter. Actually alot of OEM stock vehicles and even our stock Tacoma with the small LED strips are brighter with a blueish white vs my Morimoto XB White- hint of yellow strip. I thought I had a faulty one, until I scrolled through everyone's headlights and even meet with another owner with the Morimoto headlights. If we're missing something to adjust the brightness, if that's possible please let me know. I'm not hating on the headlights. I'm just disappointed.

    @morcheez I know I wish I had my oem head lights installed. Just Hear me out. Find a stock Tacoma and compare both strips in the day time. I'll try to get photos if I can stop by a dealership

    Just a difference of white balances. The Morimotos are pretty darn neutral in color--very similar to stock.

    Compare night to night pictures. You are the first to say that these lights aren't worth it :O
    Everyone has opinions I guess.
