    Where did you get those headlights? Need to get a pair for a 2006 Tacoma.

    Mine came with orange reflector. Not sure why it’s clear on the listing

    It could, but have heard stories of them melting the housing. I stuck with Halogen.

    That’s what I used when I bought them a few months ago.

    I almost love them, but I just can't like the 2 circles in there. That's just me though, I wish someone would make them for the 05-11 with the LED and 1 projector instead of 2

    Not sure I can get past the super modern look but if the locks output is great without blinding others... Haha

    Definitely no. No aftermarket company builds high precision quality optics for headlights like OEM.

    While I'll absolutely agree with that statement, I'll add one qualifier. The output is still probably better than a set of seriously oxidized, moisture laden, improperly aimed OEM headlights.

    What? There's no way they can't be better than reflectors

    Just finished up the install on my Tacoma Beast headlights...

    My truck is a 2011 TRD Sport, the halo does not turn on at all. Is this because there was no DRL with the 2011 models? Is there a way for me to get them to work?

    Thanks,

    Here is a shot of the water that drained out of the passenger side assembly after I took it off and let it sit...
