    Has anyone tried these in a 12-15 yet? How’s the beam pattern?

    These seem like a nice upgrade that will not break the bank. I am considering getting a set for my 2019

    So for a 2019 Tacoma is it necessary to purchase the DRL Anti-flickers? Also what about the optional housing cap extensions, are the necessary?

    Would the Anti-flicker links be required for a 2017 Tacoma (OR DCSB if it matters, probably doesn't)? What about housing cap extensions?

    Ya I’m not totally sure why flickering occurs on certain vehicles but it has something to do with voltage draw with dtrl low beam high beam and the harness. I don’t think I see many people having an issue with Tacoma’s and flickering with most kits, so you don’t need it.

    We don’t have a housing cap like 4runners so it’s a non issue.

    How's the noise level from the fans on them? I've seen some vids of the noise on youtube and I'm hoping those were just defective and not the norm.

    The other downside to LED's. My LED projector retrofits after the drive home.

    I have. 2015, I had to aim them down about 1/2" because I kept getting flashed. I also had the anti-flicker, but took them out as the unit ended up making my LEDs overheat. And, this was after trimming down the boots to provide more airflow. Spoke w TRS, and they suggested disconnecting the anti-flicker. Haven't had the chance to test them out yet to see the difference in heat output.
