    So the real question for all of us 12's+ owners who are bored with our BHLM and retrofits…. is any news on a set of headlights for the 12+?? does anyone have news of one being designed or is it just not gonna happen for a couple more years?

    If you give us a picture of what you are trying to talk about it would help, but I don't think you can go wrong with retrofitted OEMs

    Those look like crap and the light output is also crap.

    Since there are now 3 years of Tacomas with our headlight type I'd imagine something might be in the works now. Like i posted before, light output on them isn't that fantastic. Someone on here retrofitted HIDs into his which was cool, but I think he mentioned it being a huge PIA.

    Same concept, not thread I was thinking of:http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/lighting/234780-ebay-dual-halo-projector-headlight-retrofit.html
    And why these headlights suck: http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/lighting/268279-ideas-headlights-2nd-gen-tacoma.html

    second image didn't come through

    Don't get me wrong, I think there are some nice combinations of LED's, retrofits, and HID's that people have put into the new Taco's… but they're way past my time/budget. I know most aftermarket headlights go fro $200 - $400… I'm fine with paying for that because they're weather sealed and are warrantied.
    The custom ones, are just that, custom. Theres no guarantee with them, especially if I have to finish something in a weekend instead of spending the time needed. Also theres no consistency in the custom lights either
