    I went with the standard BHLM with smoked side markers and turn signal covers. My pockets aren't as deep as a full retro fit, plus I really like the light output from LED bulbs.

    Shipping was fast and the packaging was excellent. I immediately noticed the lights were far more "used" than my 2019 headlights with 4k miles on them. There are a couple scratches on each light and one that looks like it has blue paint in it (blazing blue previous owner?). The back of both lights were pretty dusty.

    The black headlight mod looks awesome! Kevin recommended doing the turn signal covers and I'm glad I listened to him.

    Installing the headlights isn't all that bad, YouTube has some good videos. On the passenger side the 10mm screw hidden by the bumper was stripped out on the BHML replacement headlight.

    All in all I'm happy but if I could do it again I would 100% send off my own headlights to be modified.

    By the dust in the back of the headlights, do you mean inside the housing? If you do, I'm sure that's an oversight that Kevin would want to correct... you should contact him directly.

    There are a few small specks inside the housing. I was referring to the outside of the whole headlight assembly being dirty compared to mine.

    Thanks man! My wife doesn't know that I bought them. Lucky for me she doesn't pay enough attention to the Tacoma to notice.

    Yea, I have to figure this out myself. I want the full shebang with the led drl and all. But the sr5 is a pretty basic headlight.

    Well it was an early Christmas!

    Mine arrived in two boxes. One fo the headlights and one for all the Morimoto electronic gizmos.

    The headlights are amazing looking. Came back in perfect condition and I love toe look...I especially like the smoked side markers.

    I’ll be doing the install this Friday/Saturday and will make up a tutorial for wiring all the gadgets up. RGB Halos, Demons, and DRLs...not to mention the RX350s.

    Should be fun/challenging!

    Thanks again Kevin!

    What would the cost be for SR5 units?
    Just black housing with smoked amber corners?
