    From research that I did I'm leaning towards morimoto.

    i just saw a review of those on youtube, where someone installed it on a gen 3 and had issues with their radio and the bouncing of the lights.

    search this forun for "RSI LED" - there was a group buy a bit ago so lots of positive feedback from that and still a 20% discount ... quality gear - I'm waiting until after I come back from vacation to install mine. Going away in 10 days and I don't need to stress out over new lamps .... Murphy's law and all.

    I believe that this was resolved by replacing H11 with H11b. Some people had this problem and some not. I'm still would rather get morimoto vs anything else. I have morimoto on my 4Runner works perfect.

    Just put mine on last weekend, I'm happy with them, no issues with radio and bouncing. Everything plugged right in. Mine are 5500k and also did their LED fog lights.

    I went with Morimoto. Just installed them earlier today. Id have to say the quality of morimoto is far superior that of other hid kits I've used in the past. Installation is pretty straight forward and is plug I play. I work night this week so won't be able to try them out in the dark, but so far the light output look great in the garage. I didn't experience any interference.

    Are they plug and play or is there a different harness you have to install to power them. It wasn't clear on their site but looked like you powered from the battery through relays, vs direct plung in to the truck wiring. Will be interested to see if at night you experience the radio interference and noisy others have reported.

    Our trucks use their HD relay harness, it hooks the battery and then plugs into the trucks wiring where the original headlight bulb was. Here is their diagram if that helps:

    I went with Xenon Depot Xtreme HID 5000k kit. Haven't installed yet but did a test fit and they were bright. This company has been around a long time. Comes with ballast, relays and bulbs. I'll post pix once I install them...

    @Synergy001 Thanks, how'd the install go any shadow caused by using H11 as opposed to H11B?
