    My headlights are "marred" and headlights appear to be dim. I've polished them once and had them professionally polished once - it works but doesn't last. I'm looking to replace my headlights and want the brightest possible. I've researched LED and Sylvania Silver Star Ultra but cannot find any actual tests or research to determine the brightest headlight I can install on my 2009 Tacoma. Can anyone help me?

    Welcome to TW. There are a bunch of threads here in the lighting section that you can read through. You will find a bunch of great info. Running LEDs or hids is not the way to go with your stock reflector housing. Blinds oncoming drivers and doesn't give you the best output.
