    Last question about lighting I promise can I go to my local auto parts store pick up some bulbs and see a difference? I can’t see with the yellow lights from my sr5. I don’t need super bright just want something better than the stock. Which bulbs do you recommend. Don’t want anything with a fan

    If you do H9's yes if you just swap out H11 for a cheap H11 not likely but it depends on what they carry.

    It’s very weird how people argue theory and proposed scientific data that does not match user experience. There is an obvious disconnect. My wife also complimented on how well the LED’s work vs stock halogens. Pick and choose your battles. I also have no issues with the cutoff, nobody is flashing me, ever, and the output is much brighter than stock. Don’t know what else to tell doubters. City and country driving. Well worth the minor investment.

    For a long time, observation had us believe the earth was the center of the cosmos and that it was flat.....

    Go slap some hids in and prepare to have your mind and perception blown away. Drop in LED's are trash my user experience aligns with the science.

    I could be wrong but the sr5 almost certainly has halogen projectors. H9s are the same bulb size that are in your high beams. Philips H9 are abundant and cost less than $30 for a pair.
    You will need to do a tiny amount of work to make the plug fit and getting them in the headlight housing can be tricky, but they are a huge and highly recommended upgrade to the H11s that come stock.

    I am going to retract my previous statement, I got mixed up with OP and another member's comment.. How embarrassing.. lol :rofl:
    I believe you're right, it was another member earlier in this thread that stated his window sticker shows upgraded LED head lights and fog lights. I got the two mixed up.. lolol

    That great thing about facts is that it doesn't matter if I say it or not
