    My Tundra came with adjustable headlights and when I intalled the 6" lift all I had to do was adjust the dial a few clicks and when I tow my trailer I dial it down a few more clicks all from the comfort of the drivers seat. This feature should be standard on all trucks.

    Your fog lights are off 99% of the time, correct? They're low-vis only lights. If you leave 'em on you deserve the flashers...

    They’re street legal. I don’t drive at night so I don’t usually use them

    It’s the diode dynamics ss3 pro. I think it’s a fog pattern which is SAE

    I wonder if Toyota changed the projector design on the 20+ 4Runner with LED.

    I know a guy with a 2021 TRD Off-road with the stock halogen housings and his truck came with leds installed from the dealership

    I thought all 21s had OEM LEDs. I was wrong above I think 21 was the 1st year for LED on the 4Runner.

    Still an option on 2021 models. I think it would be huge if they were standard on 2022 or later models.

    Anyone have that adjustment procedure handy? Curious if mine are aligned properly.

    Good factory adjustment on mine. The only time I've been flashed is when I was cresting a slight rise in the road.

    Which is of course not a legal practice, but it doesn't surprise me one bit that dealerships are doing this as an upsell.

    I will say they were still the best halogen headlights I've ever used in a vehicle. It was quite a difference when I got my Tacoma and felt like I couldn't see in comparison with the stock halogens.

    So does anyone have a true opinion of the Nova Series LED projector headlights? the quad projector headlight.

    Avoid at all cost. Horrible "headlights" that are not a proper headlight pattern. See video below linked in the 3rd Gen headlight thread.
