Where did you buy the headlights?

 

Yes, also interested.

 

Not sure where he bought them but they're made by alpharex. It's one of these models:

There's a thread about them here:

HOLY MOLY they are expensive!!! Look pretty though.
I think the OEM are 400$ or so when bought new with truck, right?

 

Those headlamps are sick.

 

They are super sick, but $1,200 is high. I am actually ok with the stock projector headlights, I just wish the light was whiter and less yellow. I tried reading that mega thread about lighting and it made my head hurt.

 

Woah. $1200?

Yeah. That's not cheap.

 

Just get led bulbs for it I did it and it looks sooo much better

 

I think OEM are part of the package if you're buying the truck new (Premium Package $885?). However, if you're buying them separate to add to your truck, I think you're north of $1000 as well including an adapter you'll need to secure to make it work.

I love the look of the new headlights but not extremely impressed with the LED projector lights. Still better than Halogen. I personally have my headlights retrofitted with RX350 projector HIDs. IMO, that's the best headlights for performance and look. Now, if someone retrofitted the new headlights with proper HID projectors, that's the ultimate win win.

here's a video that compares HID to LED bulbs. You can see how much cleaner and crisp the light is on the HID vs. the LED

 

I just went looking. What thread was it?

 

The LED head and fog light upgrade from the factory is $485, if I remember correctly (expect on the TRD Pro of course where everything is included). Or at least it was when I got my 2020. Not sure if that changed in 2021, but I don't believe so? I think you can "order" it on any of the TRD trim levels and isn't dependent on the Premium or Tech or any other packages, not sure about trims below that though like the SR and SR5.

 

Yep, but it’s tough to find one with the LEDs without also having the premium package ($$). And some regions evidently won’t let the dealers order them without premium. Luckily, I was able to find a dealer willing and able, as I didn't want the premium package on my 2020.

 

You are correct. It didn't change for the 21s as evidenced in my window sticker.

 

NOW thats beautiful

 

Here’s a little before and after. The mod bug bit me pretty hard.
285/75R16 KM3 on Method MR305 NV Rims. Bilstein 5100 on 887 OME coils with Dirt King UCAs. OME HD Dakar’s with Bilstein 5160 in the rear. EGCS bushing done already prior to the lift. CMC, pinch weld done.
So to answer a few Tacomaworld frequently asked before they are asked:
Does it rub on road? Nope
Does it rub off road? Nope
Gas mileage even though I could care less-16MPG.
Loss of power? Nope
Feel I need a re gear? Nope.
Any vibrations? Nope.
Any diff drop? Nope.
Center carrier bearing drop? Nope.
Rear leaf HDs shimmed? Yes
No complaints at all. I love the stance and setup. Any other question, just holler.

 

Awesome transformation.

 

Thankyou!
