    I see tacomabeast and head light in the same sentence, assume it’s safe to assume poor quality

    We do not support tacomabeast because they carved their logo into sandstone on a trail in Utah. Fuck tacomabeast.

    Your best bet for performance is going to be OEM LED. Second, which I went with, is Morimoto. They are costly but well worth the investment. Headlights are not something you should look at purely based on price.

    You should remove TacomaBeast from the title and post, maybe you’ll get a few good comments about the lights… otherwise they’ll mostly be bashing TacomaBeast (which righty should be done :rofl:).

    These guys are local to me but will ship. Very reputable shop. They don't advertise Morimoto but do stock them

    Thanks man, after browsing the forums for awhile that’s pretty much the consensus I came to as well plus the 3rd option of retro fitting or doing a BHLM on the OEM non-LEDs.

    Just was curious if anyone around here had these ones but knowing how bad their reputation and products are I guess I could have easily guessed that lol

    When it comes to buying quality lighting, headlights, fog lights, driving lights, etc you get what you pay for! A lot of the cheap less expensive headlights have poorer light than the stock headlights!

    Don’t forget Utah.

    I saw one truck in my area with them. They have that "tryhard" hey look I'm cool too!, vibe. Also the transition from side marker to the front of the headlights seems frankenstein'd together.

    And with any Tacomabeast headlight, it will come with non-existent light output. Driving blind with questionable style.

    I just swapped out my OEM headlights for some I got off of Ebay. I paid just over $400 including tax [free shipping]. They are blackened LEDs with clear lens for legal purposes, with LED DRLs that are also sequential turn signals. Totally cool! In fact, I just posted a video to show how cool they look!

    Should have did more research, you probably lost light performance switching to these. But as long as you like them.
