    For those of you wondering or thinking about buying them... I love these headlights. Just as bright if not brighter than the stock halogens that came on the truck. Sure, the bulbs could be better for the price but I found a good deal. They're definitely bright enough but since they are projectors after all, I will soon be upgrading to HID or LED bulbs. I haven't decided which yet. I had heard about problems of leaking or fogging with the brand of Anzo headlights in general and was a little skeptical about them but since I've installed them, we have had a ton of rain here in Texas and the weather's been fluctuating like crazy but no leaks or fogging so far. I've been turning way more heads than I did before installing them and i think they completely changed the look of my truck for the better. After some adjusting I was able to get a good cutoff line but I don't have a picture of it. I know there's alotta naysayers when it comes to these headlights but I personally highly recommend them!

    The left headlight has spots forming. I don't believe it was sealed well enough. I should have put some rubber butyl on them from the start. Other than that everything is working great. Turns alot of heads.

    All I gotta say is, those 2013-15's are some sexy yotas though. The sexiest of them all I think. And not because of your lights (although they do look nice), but in general. I say I never wanna get rid of mine. But damn, I'm starting to think about one day upgrading. I'll see how long mine can go. I'm now hoping it doesn't last TOO long. Lol.

    Ya but man I had an 03 regular cab tacoma before this one that I had beefed up a bit and I miss the hell out of it. I wish I still had pics of it. It was a great little truck.

    I enjoyed them as well, but I had a bad experience with the UBars. I received a replacement set due to the DTRLs literally melting the inside layer of the headlights. Thankfully one of the DTRL/Turn Signals went out on me before my one year warranty did (I went through RealTruck.com - which actually had a good customer service team by the way). They sent me another set with no issue after sending them some photos, then a month later I checked a the exact same location of fault, and what do you know, the light housing was melting and the actual bulb housing was turning black from the heat. I highly recommend you pull your DTRLs out and verify there is no melting/blackening as well.

    Thanks for the heads up I will definitely check that out! I emailed Anzo as soon as i saw the spots forming on the lens and they never replied. Figures..

    Hope you saved your OEMs in case they are needed. I did thankfully and received a full refund for the headlights.

    I put these on mine too and have had a bunch of issues with them. The driver side stuck on high beam and wouldn't switch back, the parking light went out and on the passenger side, the main bulb went out. All within 18 months of install. I'm thinking of getting the Spyder ones. Anyone ever try those out? They seem to have better reviews. IMG_7238.jpg
