    Hi everyone......
    Sure like the new headlamps on other trucks, with the halos
    Have read most of the reviews on the Spyders from TacomaBeast with mixed reviews, especially about leaks and Customer support.

    would love to update my 2nd gen Taco.....

    do not want to do major rewiring.......

    any recommendations welcome

    BX Built did some retrofits for me. He takes OEM housings or shitty Spyders and puts in quality components. Mine are just OEM housings with bi-LED projectors and they kick ass. It was about a 4 month lead time for me, but so worth it.

    The only headlights worth considering are the OEM smoked chrome TRD headlights. Anything non-OEM will be a massive downgrade in quality and performance (unless you don't plan on turning them on). Among the worst horrifically poor performing products are Spyder and TacomaBeast, definitely brands to be avoided if you plan on using your lights at night. Everything you could want to know about 2nd Gen headlights is here:
