Headlights Leaking

Hello everyone, my first post in a while -
My first Tacoma, a 2008 PreRunner is on its third pair of headlights, and both of the last two pairs I’ve put in have had water leaks. I purchased both sets from Extreme Terrain. I believe they were both Raxiom brand, but I’m partially convinced one was a different brand.

All that to say, I’m in search for a pair of headlights that are durable and lasting without leaking (previous pairs lasted 1 and 3 years respectively), but hoping to avoid to break the bank to get there. Any suggestions are really appreciated.

 

^I'm afraid that's a fool's errand. Headlights are vented to atmosphere.

 

Next time avoid the aftermarkets and go for oem quality.

 

I don’t disagree. Just curious if anyone has had a pair that lasted longer than 2-3 years. I haven’t had that luck yet, but that could be due to the Oklahoma humidity .

 

I replaced the headlights not too long ago. The $150 knock offs were tempting, but, in the long run, biting the bullet and buying $400 OEM lights is the way to go.

 

My truck has lived on the W coast of Fl it's whole life.

No water in my OE fixtures.

 

Even with spider web tiny cracking and hazing, my OEMs never caught internal moisture. Replaced them with OEM purchased online from a dealer during one of Toyotas 25% off sales, free shipping, no tax. Life is good.

 

Just get OEM . Most everyone I know who have problems with their headlights have crap aftermarket.
