    What is a good H1 LED bulb for the 2nd gen Tacoma beast spyder headlight assembly? Does anyone H1 led light work for the low beam light only?

    None that are worth spending money on. Even a higher wattage H1 halogen or HID would only improve output a little bit. Both would outperform pretty much any H1 LED out there, even the $200+ ones.

    The problem is that the optics are terrible from the start. It doesn't matter what bulb you use since you can't change the optics of the headlight.

    Your best bet is to take the headlights apart and do a projector retrofit. The easiest solution is to get brackets (link below) that bolt in and allow you to bolt in a MH1 HID projector (2nd link below). It would likely cost about $250, you can get better projectors for a little bit more to.

    This kit has everything bundled together, brackets and projector kit, everything you need.

    As has already been said, the bulbs are not your problem. Junk optics are and no bulb is going to overcome them. Sorry.
