    Hey Dave,

    Do you make the wiring setup for LED headlights for 2nd gen Tacoma? If not, can you point me somewhere?

    Much appreciated!!

    I only know of the morimoto LED headlights for 2nd gen Tacoma. I assume they come with any required harnesses?

    I see morimoto and alpharex listed there. You'll want to read the threads with information on the performance of those options. Morimoto / TRS / HR are one big company, coplus makes the morimoto headlights as far as I know, @crashnburn80 is the man in the know on this stuff. Alpharex is to be avoided. The morimotos are a legitimate option but not without drawbacks. I assume they would come with any required harnesses for 12-15 since they are specific to that model.

    I haven't yet done a harness in my '05 but plan to. Harness + 100w osram is a wonderful upgrade and takes advantage of the massive 2G reflectors. Just in case that helps you make any decisions.

    For why not to run LED bulbs in halogen reflectors

    Morimoto for Gen2

    CoPlus's exclusivity agreement with Morimoto has expired. You might be able to find the exact same headlight under the CoPlus brand for cheaper than the Morimoto brand, I haven't spent time looking.

    Definitely avoid AlphaRex.

    Wow, thanks...good information. I'm debating just getting new headlights (LED of course), or just getting the LED bulb (conversion-harness). Thanks for the info on AlphaRex... I was thinking on the morimoto anyway. May have to save up a bit!!

    Appreciate all the info, and thanks for responding.
