    Haha, assuming it's a poor choice due to the lack of info? I haven't heard terrible things about Raxiom and love the look. Any insight?

    But good to know about making it easier to plug and play aftermarkets with DRLs. Seems to be an extremely cheap deal for both parts at $86.97

    Guess if they fail, you're not out $500.00...:burp:
    I mean your Taco is almost 20 years old...
    And after looking at the pics they seem very straight forward in the connections.

    Eh to be fair the current headlights I have were "going to fail" because they were the cheap special. Going on 4 years strong. And hey, nearing 20 years but got it for 3k back in 2020 haha

    I got OEM replacements at dealership for $400.00 and change...have you searched? Something about the halogen reflector that makes the dark roads easier to see.

    Effectiveness isn't top priority, if it's super dark, and I can't see, I have aux lights. I love the look and even with the cheap Chinese lights I have now I've positioned them to where the output is amazing. It's all about how much you tune them really
