Headlight assembly replacement

My headlights have seen better days. Getting too much moisture and need to replace bulbs too often.
Any suggestions on what aftermarket style? I'm thinking the OEM assembly but really want to change the look a t bit.
What do you guys have and suggest?

 

Stock is the best you can get.
I have sppc from Amazon like 100 for the pair sport style.
I got condensation from both sets of my aftermarket housings. The sppc lights was the seal for a marker light. Not the housing. I sealed the outside and complained for refund but it just needed a better seal on the parking light bulb and no moisture anymore.

 

am-autoparts has some nice looking lights at decent prices.

 

Keep checking the classifieds on this forum. They pop up all the time.

 

As mentioned, nothing will beat OEM in performance. If on a budget look for CAPA certified lights, which will look like OEM.

If you want to change up the look, you might consider OEM smoked lights. Pics and links to buy in part 3 of this thread:

I need new headlights im on my 2nd set of cheap ones off ebay. First set leaked after few months dried and sealed with silicone, 2nd set sealed when first got them same problems. Does anyone know of any good headlights that do no leak I want to but a set that will last so willing to pay more then 100 ha couldn't complain about price of the cheap ones. Also need brighter bulbs if anyone has any recommendations

 

The answers to your questions are in the post above yours.

 

OEM works best buy online from a dealer or for other options Headlight Depo has many options and you can buy a warranty for like 3 years so covers the leakage (but have to pull them out again). All aftermarket have to be resealed before install or they leak and may still due to the vents they use.

 

Yeah I wish I'd have read this thread before I got mine too. They suck. One is all fogged up and the light dispersion looks kind of funky.

I did find the secret to aiming these things to one's personal taste however.... ( I tried that whole 10' from a wall thing Toyota published and it didn't work so well. Of course that is probably because mine are Chinese junk)... but the trick I found... one morning I was up an hour or so before sunrise and it was foggy as all get out. That was the perfect time to stop the truck on level ground, get out and adjust the things because you can see the beams perfectly. They may be steamed up inside, and the dispersion sucks... but by jove they are pointed with space shuttle precision.

As for the brighter bulbs, I forget which ones I bought, but I went into O'Reilley's and looked at the back of the packages. I bought the ones that had the highest rating. These are just plug and go, I think some people here have posted about types that need a slight mod. Anyway, I might still have the box, I'll look and post back.

 

I think i am going to try a set from headlights depot and purchase the extra warranty and try the upgrade harness and bulbs. I will let you know how they end up

I really dont want to spend extra for OEM the reviews for head light depot seem good

 

I was more looking for a certain brand or website that sold good headlights that didnt't leak. I didnt see anything about that in the post above. Why bother to post if not helpful, sorry im not as smart as you

 

What’s in those threads is that there aren’t any better housings than stock. Cheap housings tend to leak. See it was a helpful post.
