    Hey guys,
    I have a 2013 Tacoma, I bought it used and it came with an aftermarket headlight and taillight package.
    I believe it's a Spyder Black Projector Headlights, but I'm not sure. Looking for info on the unit itself is daunting. Spyder looks close to what I have, though.

    There's a 3 way plug that goes into the harness. My low beams not working. When I test the resistance on high beam wiring path (red), it's about 6 ohms. low beams (blue), about 290 ohms.
    I'm trying to look on Spyder's web site, but they have very little information.
    They want me to enter part number/SKU, I have none of that information to send them an email and I can't send the form without it.

    At this point, should I just replace the entire headlight assembly?

    Do you have power to the Low Beam fuses?
    Are you using the stock headlight connector?
    Or is it aftermarket?

    I have power to the fuses.
    I have power to the plugs to the bulbs... It's like I have 12.5 volts, but maybe not enough amps?
    I replaced both plugs.

    Have you tested the bulbs? Have you tried a known good bulb? Go for the simple stuff first.
