    Hi, I am a new owner of 1998 Toyota Tacoma Regular Cab 2WD 4 cyl, 2.4 L, Manual 5-speed. Loving it so far but it has poor headlights.

    Sadly, I know almost nothing about automobiles. I've been trying my best to find new projectors and lights.

    I'm wondering if 55w, 5000k headlights are the best option for a night out driving on the road? My place can be pretty dark. This headlights are what i've been thinking about buying.

    What projectors should I buy for them the headlights?


    Thank you and your feedback will be greatly appreciated.


    Here is a picture of my Tacoma. I call it Jalapeno. I like Mexican food.

    You can find reasonably priced replacement headlights on Amazon. I just replaced mine and had them aimed at a shop. Wow!

    TYC headlights. They come with bulbs but I ordered a set of VOSLA H4 +100 from Candlepower Inc.

    Look. You'll find 'em.

    Lights, 3in lift, tires/ wheels, being awesome
    Wet sanding is more temporary, ive tried multiple times and it comes back quickly just go buy some replacement housings and regular bulbs just that alone will be a night and day difference.

    If you wet sand then spray with a yellow fade resistant clear coat then it stays MUCH longer.

    They sell it by the can at Lowes.
