    I have a question for everyone out their...

    I have a 2013 Tacoma fitted with spider projector lights. Although they look cool my OEM light were much brighter. What I’m getting at is I want a plug and play housing with the most brightest possiable lights. I’m not worried about passing inspection and soon my rig will be for off road only. To be honest I would rather speed coin and get a high quality set up then having to deal with problems down the road..
    PLEASE HELP, THANK GUYS & Gals for your input...

    Yep, this. ^

    Most any 'cool looking' aftermarket light has garbage performance and is a significant downgrade from stock, and it doesn't matter to them because they are selling to people buying it for the looks. Toyota built a quality engineered headlight, a simple halogen upgrade in the OEM assembly will provide vast amounts more light than those aftermarket housings. And depending on how thorough the inspection is it would likely still pass as the color and pattern is stock, just massively brighter. They would either have to pull the bulbs out to check the wattage rating, or check the headlights with a light meter to determine that the output is not stock.
