3rd Gen Headlight bulbs....

ive been looking for the best route to go to replace the factory headlight bulbs and fog light bulbs in my 2019.

HID or LED? Pros and Cons of both?

Are all the bulbs (hi, low, fog) all the H11 or am i just not seeing the correct numbers?

Thanks!!

 

Running HID Xenon Depot with their 6500K bulbs. The 5000k still have some slight yellow to them, had those previously. Neither bulb will match Baja Designs leds. Otherwise, I'm happy with the look and color.

Personally I have morrimoto HID low beams and xb LED fog lights. 5500k that I’m happy with. Yes TRDOR will have H11 low and H11 Fog. The high beam should be H9.

 

recently got a lesson on projector lenses. (look @ pic) you can put a led bulb in projector. but they work best if the led is adjustable. i have led bulbs that the leds are side to side. the one i bought there all in one side. and i clocked the leds to point up once installed. and got better output than side to side. seems tacoma projectors are closed on top and bottom so not to blind oncoming drivers.
the top shield seems to be shorter than bottom shield.
in other words top seems to stick out less than bottom one goes out further into projector.....
thats why (imo) HIDS work so well no clocking needed.....

 

Do it properly with a retrofit or leave it alone. #savemyeyes

 

It’s a sticky thread

In the thread linked above, it all boils down to if you want to keep the stock headlights,alter them or buy aftermarket. If kept stock, go with Phillips H9 bulbs, if altering the stock housing go with RX350 retrofits, if going aftermarket, the morimoto xb LED lights are best so far.
