Best LED HEADLIGHTS

I have a 2013 Tacoma, what brands are the best and how long have u had them? Pics please! My boy friend ordered me the lifetime LEDs we put them in turned them on and the light burnt out. So im sending them back they r junk. I have read a lot of negative reviews on them for $150 i couldnt believe the quality of them.

 

Vleds.com. Very high quality product and they are plug and play. They offer both hid and led kits and fog lights. A little spendy but well worth it. I have had them installed for just over a year and haven't had a single hiccup yet. I know five people that have them and nobody has anything bad to say about them. I have the motorcycle kit in my dualsport as well.

There are really no good LED lights. I've done plenty of research on them and owned 2 sets. LED head lights right now are not ready for aftermarket consumption. They will catch up some day but not now. First set I had lasted for about 11 months. Second set lasted for all of 30 mins.

 

Where did you get your LEDs? Are all LEDs created equal, because I've seen some really cheap LEDs on eBay and then seen very expensive LEDs on independent websites for it looks like nearly the same thing. Perhaps some vendors do just upsell the same exact cheap LEDs, but theres got to be LEDs that are of higher quality than others and I'm sure that someone here has found them and installed them and is driving around without complaint now. So I think it just depends. Buy from someone that stands behind their product and will help you with returns and refunds. If not, then probably best to stay away from them.

 

The reflectors in our headlight housing is not designed for LEDs. Putting LEDs in them causes light spill everywhere and an overall shitty beam.

What if LEDs are used with projector headlights?

 

I bought these You can go through all 59 pages and see for yourself. "Most" LED's need a fan to cool off the circuit board and that's not really conducive to off road. When they worked they worked great and I miss them every day. Just wasn't worth the hassle.

I hear this all the time and nothing could be further from the truth (at least with LED's). The top lights up on low beam and the bottom and top lights up on high beam. From "real world" experience with them I never had a "shitty" light beam (go through the pictures and judge for yourself) and never once did anyone bright light me. The only change I found was they threw a white light instead of the shitty yellow light from the stock lights. This has been argued ad nauseam and I'm sure I'll get a reply but in real life they were fine with fine cut off lines. Now throwing in HID's in a regular housing is a different story.

 

For $259 I'd Retrofit mine with projectors and HID's for that price.

 

Mine work great also. I have good cutoff and light output

 

Give it time... They will go out sooner than later. I loved mine when they worked.

 

X2 .. they are garbage. Owned a set myself for about a day, finally turned around and cut my losses.

 

LEDs are no better than HIDs, in fact they're worse for the most part. Just save up for a proper retrofit, especially with Black Friday coming up...

 

I wouldn't say they are worse as long as they work (which they don't for long). Light pattern and output was fine but I agree... A proper HID Retrofit is the way to go if you're going for a aftermarket option.

 

Having done nothing but headlights for the past four and a half years now, I can say they are not up to the performance of HIDs. Output and light pattern are poor at best.

 

Wasn't with mine (when they worked). I wen't back to 5900k halogen. If I ever do a retro I'll go through you for sure

 

I'll let you be the judge. Driving to work a couple years ago with LED's on High Beam

 

Mine have been working for over a year. Have any of you guys given VLeds a try?

 

VLEDS is an excellent company to deal with, I have used them for two vehicles, the latest being my 3rd Gen and they are great to work with.
