    Gents,
    Just replaced my High Beams with LED H9 from Headlight Experts. It's like looking into the sun. They are adjustable so you can tune the beam. That said, like all LED replacement bulbs, they have the LED panels on both sides of the bulb. The vendor states that the plates should point up and down but yet I've see installs that are left and right. Can I ask the team to help with this. Which is correct. Thank you.

    Thanks to Gmatt21. I replaced Lows, Hi's and Fogs with Auxbeam F16 h11 led bulbs. They look amazing and we tested them against my wife's ILX(2016) and they are close to actual throw. They are much brighter than stock halogens hands down. I need to choose the turn signal \ DRL replacements now and do the cab lights next. Huge thanks to all the contributors to this thread as it really did help when choosing light brand and model. 2017 Taco SR5 V6. 2WD

    Just bought my Tacoma on the weekend and was reading through this thread a little while ago. So correct me if I am wrong but noone has found a rear tail/brake bulb that wont hyperflash without resistors correct?

    Definitely left to right so the LEDs can hit the housing correctly emitting the proper beam. I just replaced my fogs, highs, and lows with the GTR3 Lighting kit from headlightrevolution.com. Best choice I made.

    Can you send a link? Cause I've been reading about some people having issues with size and color. I'd rather buy from where you did. Especially if you're happy with it. Did it come with lights for the visors too?

    There a little pricey but you can normally catch them on sale, but they have everything from LED kits for the headlights to LED kits for the interior and so on. The lights I got have a lifetime warranty, and the main reason I bought them was because of aluminum heat sink instead of the cooling fan. I have a feeling that the fan would go out first overtime before the LED itself. Plus I was able to install them without removing the bumper or headlights. You can find instructional videos on their site for step by step.

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B016XZ42HW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 This is the one I bought it did come with visor ones. I have an sr model so no lights on mine but so far no problems, had it installed since December 16. The dome light seemed a lil on the small side it would rattle around and not make contact with contacts. I just braced one side with a paper ball to hold it in. I think for $20 bucks its worth it.

    I have also been running these in my mainheadlights for a week now no problems and I enjoy them.https://www.amazon.com/MOSTPLUS-600...01MCTLGPV/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8

    Both look great. Wondering if you go with the $20 ones or $60. What benifite does the $60 ones have?

    Has an yone confirmed the dome light size on the Gen3? I have read 28, 29, and 30. I was getting ready to order a full Diode Dynamics kit worth of bulbs, including their HID's, but someone said the festoon dome does not fit. I don't want to deal with sending bulbs back.

    Thanks, Fella's

    I love my led low beams but worry my fog lights are blinding oncoming traffic since they're not prejoector housing and just scatter light wherever. Anyone else feel the same? Had issues with oncoming traffic?

    So I got led bulbs for my tailights/rear turn signals. Got some resistors, wired them and I still have the hyperblink. Does anyone know/have a tutorial specifically for the 3rd gen taillights on wiring resistors? I'm stumped on something that seems so simple so I changed my blinker light back to the halogen one.
