    Installed Overhead Compass and Temperature Display along with outside temperature sensor and wiring; LED lights reverse backup; LED license plate lights; Added GTA Bluetooth Audio kit to stock radio for iphone audio; Spare tire steel braided air hose extension connection to rear bumper; Installed new headlights along with new bulbs PIAA H4 XTreme and for fog lights PIAA H10 XTreme bulbs. Installed new hood with "hood-scoop". Installed Predator Side Steps. Replaced front chrome grill with customized color matched (Desert Sand Mica) grill with added TOYOTA lettering (also in matched color), installed and secured tailgate anti-theft devices. Also installed a new external TPMS monitor for all 4 tires.
    I quit buying Sylvania headlight replacement bulbs a long time ago.

    It gets old real quick dick'en around with swapping/switching/replacing headlight bulbs on a Tacoma every so often-fuck that!

    Cheaply made, weak yellowish beam of light, don't last long (what like 4 months if that?!) just a waste of money. So decided to spend a bit more and purchased these http://www.piaa.com/store/p/49-H4-XTreme-White-Plus-Twin-Pack-Halogen-Bulbs.aspx by PIAA.

    Work excellent, have had them installed since Aug. 2014 and have been very pleased with them as well as their performance. Throw's an excellent Beam of light-even at High Beam's.

    Even replaced the fog lights with PIAA's as well.

    Sylvania Ultra life is always an issue ( 10-12 months for me on average)

    why not look into a light bar?

    people with HID kill me when driving. Especially given how low I am it goes right in my eyes.

    none
    H11B may only be the answer if you are using HID. Thats just not making sense in a projector housing. H11 is what the factory installed and not the H11B. The only difference is the electrical connection. I have had PIAA's and Sylvania's. Both are hit and miss on longivity with PIAA's being more expensive to replace. I have had both long lived and short lived.

    The h11b has the grounding rod or whatever that is in a different place which is what causes the shadow with HIDs on our projectors
