    I had to put two LED light bars in my grill to make up for the lack of high beams.

    I've never had a replacement needed anywhere close to these often posted numbers of "every 6 months."

    I doubt I'm so lucky in life that I've picked the 10 best sets ever produced by Sylvania, but I also doubt people who get 6 months of bulb life handled the bulbs properly during installation.

    Been lovin mine. The beam is much better and farther on low beams and the brights look like one of those $500 LED light bars. They light shit up mile down the road. I have my HID fogs down close to truck and out to where the Philips lows hit road out in front of them, 30-40 yards out without anyone flashing at me. Bought H7s and 9005s for my car and same stellar stuff.

    Good stuff. Interested in those PIAAs. Would love to see a stock comparison.

    Not a perfect comparison, but close enough. PIAA H4 extreme white headlight bulbs compared to factory halogen fog lights.

    Thanks! Not quite as dramatic of a change as I thought.

    That picture doesn't do it justice unfortunately, but at the same time they're not gonna be an extreme difference like HIDs. It looks a lot better in person. The big difference is when you're driving at night. They light up more area than normal halogens and the light is so much cleaner.

    Good to know. I've been monitoring your other thread, and was seriously considering either Lifetime or Bright A** LEDs. I think you have talked me out of them. :eek:

    Better lights would be great but Toyota doesn't even put in an outside temperature module. My sales guy says it's b/c they're cutting corners. Cheap bastards.

    I wonder how much more profit they'd have to dump into new feature research if they didn't have shitty sales guys talking down their brand and saying they're corner cutters.

    Shit for brains, I suppose.
