Dope 3rd gen headlights under $1000?

Everyone loves the morimotos and the alpha rex headlights but i was wondering if anyone had any input on some dope headlights that are under $1000 and I’m not gonna regret buying.

 

OEM LED

 

First post nailed it.

 

I kinda want headlights with sequentials, better DRLs and blacked out.

 

You should post all of your ideas and desires in the OP such that we not waste our time giving suggestions for you to simply shoot em down.

it's like creating unrealistic expectations for some normal thing, then claiming you're unable to do so and it's nor your fault.

 

Other than being blacked out the OEM LEDs are by far the best. They DRL are quite bright and noticeable and they have sequential turn signals.

 

Youre right my bad. I’m not trying to add LEDs or retro fit my oems. Im looking for a whole new assembly under $1000 with those features I posted in my previous reply.

 

OP also stated under $1000, so I think that eliminates the OEM LEDs. Though my advice would be save up a little more and get said OEMs. You can get the Pro version (blacked out) and they have sequential turns and some pretty nice DRLs. Another option is getting a BHLM mod done. You can do some cool stuff for under $1000 for sure. Maybe not sequential, but a lot of options for sure. Other than that, you are looking at used headlights or a waste of money because the performance will suck.

 

Also, I would not recommend the alpha Rex ones, but you can find them out of China for $600-700 dollars. Same crappy headlight, just not rebranded by Alpha Rex and marked up.

 

Had an Oopsie and broke my OEM lights so I have these on the way. Not super high expectations but when I have a review I’ll chime in

 

ok so basically I need to be more patient and save up more money lol. I just bought my tacoma like 6 months so all this stuff is pretty new to me.

 

Hi I am new here and looking to upgrade the headlights. Currently I have stock original headlights in good shape. And considering adding fog lights. Can you point me in the best direction for OEM LED/ fog light combo?

 

Yeah I’m curious on these.

It’s crazy how expensive some headlights are. They’re really out here charging thousands of dollars for lights lol.

 

Headlights are pretty important though especially if you do a lot of night driving. I didn’t appreciate it until I went through a whole gamut of crappy aftermarket ones only to end up back with OEM H9’s until I score a good deal on OEM LED’s.

 

Not everyone

No one loves those, or anyone who cares about actually lighting the road

didn't know "dope" was a criteria for a critical part of your vehicle. But hey, dope is dope, am i right? Sorry, every time I hear this I'm reminded of the early 90's. those times were definitely dope and I equally had no idea what i was talking about back then either

the only useful information I can offer to your original post
look for used RX350 retrofits and you might get to your price point. Monitor the marketplace, and be patient for the right and correctly done set

(edit - agree with post below - performance H11 or H9 swap is a very good option and well below your price point - but might not reach "dope" heights, and why I didn't originally mention)

Curious, your handle shows you have a 2021 off-road. Did you buy new?

If yes, why didn't you option the OEM LED , which would have been <$1000 if optioned correctly? very much the best deal if optioned at the beginning from Toyota. Potentially dumb question given supply constraints, or if you bought used, but if you had the option??

 

Headlights. Best OEM LED, best upgrade for halogens the Philips H9 swap:

In my day being a "dope" wasn't a good thing. Now it seems to be something you strive for. Seems to me these days that a lot of people have been successful.

 

My truck came with awesome headlights.

 

What can I say, I'm old
