    Do not buy it, buy alpharex or morimotos or retro fits and your taking a chance with those even. Oem is better or the pro the quality will drop and issue later on the road

    Looking the same and performing the same is not the same. I guess if you go for looks, that would be an option

    Looking at those headlights, it looks like they tie the DRL to a parking light circuit. It should be noted that their description and directions are absolute garbage. I think they mean that they won’t work with FULL LED headlights. Browsing the pictures and “directions”, they should work with your truck. Disregard the part about hooking the DRL to the parking light, and combine the trucks DRL and parking light (with diodes) and the headlights DRL light will come on with the DRL instead of just the parking lights. That way you don’t have to drive around with the parking lights on all the time.

    I did the same with my OEM LEDS. found on Craigslist for $900. the output on the aftermarket LEDs leaves a lot to be desired. the OEM's are bright

    @cg2731 where are you located? If you are in Colorado, we could definitely improve those for you. Cut that crappy turn signal connection off and make them truly plug and play. If you aren’t in Colorado, I don’t know that it would be worth it unless you want to learn to crimp.

    Ultimately I like the current oem headlights that come with the TRD sport. They’re…not bad, could be better. But I’d like the housing to be black instead of that chrome. Otherwise if I’m going to buy new ones I’d like the look of the TRD PRO headlights and some better projection
