    Yea, and Winjet worked out the FM Radio transmission issues. They added ferrite coils. All good now.

    And I saw these posted in here on a truck! These are sexy.

    I really want to wait and see what @mesojdm comes up with on the headlights and tail lights though. I buy his products without worry or question. I just need to save up longer for them. Everything else is just a hold me off.

    Those are badass and they come with HID instead of the stock halogen like I’ve seen on other sites.

    Agreed though mesojdm has the coolest and quality stuff! I’d pay the extra $200 for his mods.

    Nice!!! I figured you wouldn’t be disappointed. Go for the dual functions and let us know how they work. I might get them cause I like the way the yellow looks too.

    I purchased Lasfit bulbs from eBay. The set for low beams and fog lights (both the same bulb) cost $60 after offer. So far I’m thrilled with the improvement. All the reviews online have looked great.

    Installation in headlights requires removing the two screws and popping up the flanges that the screws hold down in order to get clearance. They fit perfectly.

    I still need get some nighttime pics but the obvious improvement in the daytime is impressive.

    Remove these screws and pop up the flanges to get enough room to install the bulb.

    I can second what @tekoma has said. I bought these for my wife's Rav4 and they are great. I do not have them in my Tacoma obviously from my other posts on this thread, but they look great in her Rav4 and light out put is good. I purchased mine on Amazon.

    So did you get 2x H11 and 2x H16? Like you said, I thought the lows and fogs were the same bulb, both H11? I'm probably over thinking it, but got confused when I got on the eBay link?

    H11 will fit Fogs, Low's, and High Beams. You will find that H9 is what is listed as the stock OEM but when you go to buy you will see that H11 is also good for H8, H9, and H16.

    You can use the following two links to help with conversion.

    Very very close in my opinion. Not a very noticeable difference.

    This may be a dumb question... but i have a 2017 limited... and hate the low beams. ok throw to the front, but zero to the sides. taking a turn in my dark neighborhood streets is a gamble :-(

    Already have rigid fogs installed... so that helps, but i can't run them all the time.

    Will these work in my housings? E.g., the dumb question is, does the Limited use the same setup/bulbs?

    Thanks.

    From what I can tell, yes they will fit. It takes an H11 as well. Refer to the links in this post to for reference.

    I just bought some Micro LEDs for my low beams from VLEDs. I was torn between the cheaper brands and VLEDs. I've read a lot that people have been very happy with VLEDs, especially when converting everything to LED. They had a sale, $30 off of the $150 price and free shipping. I hope I didn't make a bad choice. Thoughts?

    Damn that price is steep. Not sure if it was a bad or good choice. I haven't seen the quality or the light output for these. They better be incredible for that price though. When you get them in, post some pictures.

    Here is a link for reference if anyone else wants to take a quick look.

    I’ve had my VLED low beams for a couple months and I’m pretty happy so far, definitely a nice upgrade from the stock halogens. Been contemplating pulling the trigger on both turn signals as well.

    It’s definitely not a cheap upgrade, but you gotta pay to play sometimes.
