Amazon JBT replacement headlight enclosure

Has anyone used these:

$90 ACANII - For 2005-2011 Toyota Tacoma Pickup Truck Headlights Headlamps 05-11 Driver + Passenger Side Lights Lamps

I got them off Amazon and they look like a good replacement for factory enclosures but I can't seem to get the headlights to adjust. It sucks but I may end up having to return them and find something else.

 

Once again - sadly - somebody discovers that you get exactly what you pay for with headlights.

 

Well I didn't get what I paid for with the original lenses. Melted and sun damaged over time and missed Toyota's sketchy TSB that expired and I think was extended. Should have been a recall.

 

After doing tons and tons of research, I broke down and bought OEMs. Aftermarket OEM-knockoff taillights have treated me great, but everything I see on headlights is they won't last. I just installed my new headlights last weekend. I didn't even need to adjust them. They were dead on where my stocks were. Wonder if they are pre setup for manufacture/factory install or something?

There's a thread on here that seemed to have found the best price of Toyota dealers. I think I spent a lil over $500 shipped.

Here's the link. I paid $501.77, shipped. This was for the version that came with all bulbs and plugs installed. Can be had cheaper if you buy without those, but I wanted it as easy as possible to install. Didn't even take me an hour.

 

Sure, because things should never, ever break or wear out. Only thing that melted on mine (and assuming yours too) was the DTRL section. The headlights still work.

I don't know of anything that wouldn't deteriorate over time due to sun exposure.

BTW, I too got baited into buying cheap-o $100/set (with bulbs) flea-bay housings. Yeah, I got what I paid for as did you. Couldn't adjust them either, but luckily they were essentially aimed perfect & I hardly drive at night. So no problem for me. Light output does suck tho.

Good luck.

 

Yeah I'm sending these back. lack of adjustment and complaints of moisture. I checked the reviews but I guess I didn't do a good job. They are definitely not set up out of the box to aim right. I tried the old 25 ft from the wall adjustment and the right side was way above the tape.

I will look into the OEM units and see if I can find the thread.

 

Only reason my genuine Spyders were so cheap is it was an open box from someone buying the wrong year.
