    I have been looking around at getting a new set of headlights before the stock ones get all glazed over. I have been looking around and really like the ones with the DRL built into them. I have a 2015 TRD Sport that has the DRL on the headlight stalk in the car. I've found a couple of different options reading through the forum posts. Right now, It looks like the Alpha Rex headlights are a decent option. To avoid paying that much, I continued looking for others. I found a set on Amazon from Carpartsinnovate. These are almost half the cost. Does anyone have a set of these and can comment on the light output? Thoughts on other headlight options?

    Yeah I've used those before with my old car. Was just using it as an excuse to get cool headlights. Also would be nice to have a projector housing.

    Save your wallet and buy OEM. Aftermarket is trash.

    The Ultimate Headlight Mod is the sh*t. Light output is amazing. If you wanted to take this opportunity to get 'aftermarket' lights, get OEM TRD Pro headlights with the Ultimate Headlight Mod and you'll be all set!
