    One of my headlights has went out, so I am curious as to what I should go with for replacements. Your suggestions would help out a lot.

    Extensive testing and data backed recommendations here:
    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/the-ultimate-headlight-upgrade-h4-not-led-or-hid.398066/

    Stock wattage:
    -Philips Racing Vision +150 - Best low beam, though blue coating over high beam filament reduces high beam performance
    -GE Xenon +120 - Best low beam without reduced performance high beam

    High wattage:
    -Osram Superbright 100/90w - Requires standalone harness, very bright low beam and massively bright high beam
    -IPF 4x4 Fatboy 60/80w - Does not require a harness, very bright low beam, stock output high beam. Bulbs are expensive.

    All the details with measured lux output in the linked thread charts. With your 2006, be sure your headlight assemblies are in good shape, if not consider replacing with OEM for best performance. Links also provided in the thread.
