    I’m on the fence about this they look great my friend told me they were Tacoma beast headlights so I planned on getting them then he pulls up his Amazon account and it shows that they are VIPMOTOZ. The look identical except VIPMOTOZ are $100 cheaper. I’m not concerned about the hundred dollar difference as I am concerned about Quality. I bought aftermarket headlights before on my old Honda and it was a nightmare and I wish I never did it tonight I ended up putting OEM back on because of electrical and condensation issues does anyone here have any experience with either brand good or bad my birthday is coming up and I asked my wife for a pair of these headlights I was leaning towards Tacoma beast but then when I found out he ordered these now I’m more confused than ever my birthday is April 20 so Time is ticking please help

    I don't think TCMB make their own headlights. They are just a vendor

    Also another vote for OEM LED

    or Second choice Morimoto

    These aftermarket headlights are cheaply made in China. Most cheap aftermarket Chinese headlights turn yellow and crack from uv rays and water leaks within 4 years.

    Go OEM led.

    Yeah for some reason on headlights you only have two good options: OEM or Morimoto.

    OEM perform better than Morimoto but the Mori's are a good second option if you like the looks more than OEM. I went with Morimotos, just bite the bullet and head over your CC.

    When you say OEM Are you saying stick with the original housing and put an LED lights or are you saying they have an OEM black housing because basically I like the look of the black housing not the chrome stock.
    If it’s LED bulb replacement were talking about does anybody have a great brand I want 6000 on the color also I want matching 6000 K on the fog lights any recommendations there I just want matching fog lights and headlights 6000 K bright LEDs with hopefully black housing instead of chrome that’s my ultimate goal but I’ll take what I can get

    Headlights that are designed for halogen bulbs do not propeely direct light from LED bulbs, LED bulbs should only be put in housings designed for LED bulbs. Putting an LED bulb in a halogen does 3 things:

    1. Makes you think they're brighter because there's a lot more light right in front of the truck

    2. Has less downroad light which is where you want it

    3. Blinds every oncoming vehicle because halogen housings don't control/direct LED light properly

    There's a huge thread on headlights/bulbs where many were tested.

    this! Tacoma beast, fujimotoshit, all crap. If you just want functionality and better lighting, upgrade bulbs.

    I agree. I bought OEM LED HLs...I'll caveat with this...

    I did replace the H16 bulbs in the Fog Lights with H11 Diodes...and they are a perfect match!
