    Finally finished my overhead led lighting... Had to recess the lights back a bit to keep them out of eyesight

    No Wi-Fi needed. I screen mirror from my phone through the Amazon firestick to my radio. Now full disclosure. I am lucky enough to still be grandfathered in with Verizon with unlimited data, so streaming all this through my phone will cost me nothing extra in data charges.

    So what you're saying is that they are worth the money then basically, correct? Something for me to think about, since I was kinda "dead set" on getting the Pro headlights for mine, but maybe for the cost of that I can find a decent set of retros.

    I looked into this for a while. The good projector sets are built using OEM housings that have been modified. The ones you can buy from online places tend to have all sorts of issues (at least according to the reviews I've read). The cheapest way is to send your lights to someone with a good reputation in modding. They will take them apart and install the projector and LED components. The parts usually come from someplace like TRS. If assembled and aimed correctly, the lights will put out a cleaner brighter light than stock OEM lights. If you can't wait a few weeks without headlights, then you can buy a set of OEM headlights and ship them to the modder. This adds about 400 to the cost.
    In the end, I decide to get the TRD Pro lights to replace my broken OEMs (had an accident last month). Even thought the truck was out of commision for a week and I could have sent new OEM to a modder, I decided there were too many variables in the process. Also, while the main light is converted to LED, the other bulbs remain stock filaments.
    LEDs are a great look and provide much better light, but for now I'm happy with what I got.

    That's some great info and great points right there. Thanks a lot for your input, much appreciated! Guess it's something to think about and keep an eye out for either a GB, or someone selling a set depending on price and other variables. :thumbsup:

    I thought about that, but the odds that someone will sell a good set of modified headlights is low. If someone paid double the cost of OEM lights for them, they probably won't sell them without good reason. I doubt they will sell them cheap either. I didn't find any that weren't at least 200 over the price of brand new OEMs. That's a lot of money for a headlight that was cracked open, had new components glued in, and was then sealed back together. Honestly, what we really need is a mod kit that would allow you to use the OEM 2016 headlights (since they are now projectors).

    Yup, it's all a matter of personal choice.
    As for me (and to get the thread back on topic), I went with the darker TRD Pros to accent the new front paint. I'm very happy with the way Toyota accented these lights. They should have been stock for all the trucks

    The wheels are 20x9. I ran them without a lift and lower profile tires. I have 35x12.50 on them now with a 6" lift. It's all in what you want, this place is a wealth of information. I will warn you that a lot of people on this site hate 20's and drop bracket lifts. Haha! I have custom made center caps too,I hated those cone center caps.
