    If you’re willing to spend that much on sub-par lights, you should just go OEM LED for around $1300. Best performing headlights for the 3rd Gen

    Nay. Non-OEM headlights don’t age well. What’s worse- faded yellowish headlights in a year or two or a bit of chrome.

    The more you exchange OEM parts for aftermarket, the less reliable your Toyota gets.
