    I'm looking at replacing my headlights due to hazing. I see that they replacements ask if you have the sport package or not for the headlights. I have a TRD Sport, so I assume I need the ones with the sport package, what's the difference besides the price? I was curious, I might be table to do without the sport package feature on the new ones.

    I just ordered a new OEM set for my 2009 Sport from Camelback Toyota. The part numbers for the updated ones, (that won't have the cracked/melted DRL lense problem), are 81110-04210 and
    $350 81150-04210 Toyota Genuine Parts - Headlamp Assy, Lh (81150-04210)
    81150-04210. I debated just getting some less expensive aftermarket such as Depo or Anzo, but after reading some dismal reviews, I decided to go with OEM.

    Rock auto sells TYC brand all day long at $43 per light. I have a set for my 08' but have not installed them yet. I did inspect them and they look like they are of good comparable quality to OEM.

    How much does Cameltoe want for them?

    Jeff.W,

    how much did those puppies set you back?

    I have gone Depo/TYC a couple of times, both for Tacos, nary a problem....and a whole lot cheaper...

    I've seen the TYC brand. They may look the same, but they should come with a pair of mickey mouse ears. I have a relative that bought some less than a year ago, and they are hazed, fogged, and condensated. OEMS are $215 a pop.

    :eek:

    Ill just seal my TYC's and see what happens over the long haul.

    I could buy 5 pair of TYC's and still be at the same pricing as 1 pair of OEM.

    So........:drevil:.............even if the TYC's only last a year per set and I have to buy new ones each year they will still last longer then OEM at the same cost :laugh:

    Whatever floats your boat lol. I just don't like aftermarket parts, for the most part. I'd rather pay more up front and not have to worry about it later. Same goes for oil filters, brake pads etc. I'm OCD about my stuff :)
