3rd Gen HID vs LED vs Halogen H11 projector headlights

Looks like it gets an aux high beam light bar similar to the Tundra too.

 

Thank you for taking the time to send me the links i appreciate it, its a very good read with a lot of information of different bulbs.

 

Watch, it’ll only start at $40k. Optioned like that it’ll be getting to $50k, add the dealer markup just plan on 60 plus “doc fees”

 

@crashnburn80 what a time to be alive

 

"...thieves don't even need to get inside the car". Proceeds to include photo with thief "hacking" inside car.

 

Only 40 K, OMG LOL...

 

A quick search for the GE +130 bulbs comes up empty. Does anyone know where I can purchase? If not what is the latest comparable replacement?

 

see post #2

"If you wanted a plug and play H11 for the headlights, the Tungsram Platinum or Tungsram Nightbreaker Xenon +120 is the recommended option."

GE no longer available AFAIK.

 

GE sold off its lighting division to Tungsram. Still the same performance, just nownsold under the Tungsram name.

 

Anyone have a source for 2016+ SR5 halogen to led headlight harness , looks like daveeasa is no longer making them.

 

Have you guys experienced this? I swapped out my LEDs for H9s and I don’t remember this cutoff pattern with the two notches.

 

Looks normal. Are you talking about the "boxes?" That's uplight provided by the squirrel finders in the projector.

 

Is this what you're looking for?

That listing specifically says it doesn’t work with SR and SR5 models

Johnny is like 99% of FBC design. Maybe 100%. He is heavily involved and we talk daily. If he wants to make a harness for one or two of you then I’m sure he will reach out. But he is pretty busy right now and I think he understands my concerns with the latest design. Which is not to say he fully agrees with me that we need to take a breather but he also is not really in a position to shoulder the entire burden himself right now.

anyone wanting something now, your best bet is a harness from one of the guys who was begging me to return it for full price because they were unhappy with the mod. Of course those guys are all crickets right now.

But, seriously, let’s not pollute this fine thread with this bs. Take it to the SR V2 thread. And if you don’t have 50 posts then start engaging with the TW community to learn more. It’s not Facebook marketplace or Etsy here.

 

The illuminated notches/boxes above your cut off line is your uplight, this is a critically designed OEM feature so you can see beyond your low beam cut off. The fact that you did not have this uplight with your LEDs indicates the LEDs were a major safety compromise reducing your ability to see beyond your low beam cut off (which has been extensively documented in this thread) resulting in a very hazardous headlight downgrade that reduces the safety of your vehicle, which was likely improperly advertised as an upgrade by the LED manufacture. Those uplight boxes are essential for safe headlight operation.

 

Don’t know why you tagged him in response to my post. I wasn’t looking for a harness. Just pointing out that the link was not what @JDAISE was looking for

 

Oh, how I love puns
I will post an update in the SR V2 thread

Yes, noticed those too. We switched from H11 to H9 and the upper rectangles are more visible on the garage door.

As CB80 notes, that is a feature, not a bug. Good call going to the H9s.
