Actual Owners - Report on the Projector Headlights!!

Most are interchangeable. On the H16 application you have to check that the housing has the depth for the longer bulb. H16's have the same base but are a shorter bulb. H9 and H11 for the most part have the same keyed base. H11's will fit in H9 with no issue but there may be fitment issue with H9 going into H11 socket. Usually a little trim. Normally H11's are used for H9 and not the other way.

 

Might want to look over in the 2nd Gen forum for the answers you seek young Jeti!

 

Thank you OB1

 

Retrofitting headlights is the way to go! Ive been building headlights for a long time, and I cant live without HIDs! They are expensive, but its worth it.

I actually have a set that i just finished building that are for sale

 

LED bulbs aren't going to perform anywhere near on par with HIDs, yet.

 

Nice!. They look like 2012 and up. Will they fit on my 2011 and how much?

 

That is correct, They are for the 2012-2015 Model, so unfortunately they will not fit your 2011.
Im selling them for $950 Shipped

 

Did this kit come with a relay harness?

 

Been using this kit for the past month and love it

Bulb: 4500k

with 4500 you get the standard HID look, its not the white/blue like you get with 5000k-6000k

Been running DDM kits in all of my vehicles since 2008 and never had a problem.

Ill post some pictures up later tonight.

Also, when you are running HIDs, please dont go over 35w. Going to 55w is just overkill and way too bright for oncoming drivers.

 

It dose not

 

These are taken on an angle but gives a good picture of the color (ddm HIDS linked above)
Sorry for the sideways pics, trying to get used to windows 10
With fog lights on (LED from Amazon)


Without fog lights


Driving with fog lights on

 

4500k Morimoto 35watt. LED fogs. Love them!

 

Why not the 55k 4500k ? Is too much or less light idk anything about morimoto. Thanks

 

Does anyone have phillips xtreme vision h11 on their 3rd gen ?

 

The 55 watt are brighter. For low beam lights, I believe the 35 watt bulbs are best. My son has the 55 watt bulbs and I just think they are too bright for low beams. 4500k is white not blue, that's why I like it instead of the blue tinted 5500k.

 

And your son has the 4500k? Is a quick brightness on those hids? I currently have leds but the center is not there. Thanks

 

I drove my son's truck and the 55watt 4500k is fine. Nobody flashed me and I could see great with low beams. In the high beams we have regular bulbs.

 

Nothing about the Tacoma here , but Ford trucks and the Colorado scored very poorly

So is there a general consensus on the best LED bulbs for fogs? It seems like with any LED application, you're going to get a brighter light, but lose distance. Or is there any LED application for fogs that project light further than stock halogen?

 

Gotta say, on my 17' the low beams are no good for me, they seem like as bright as the DRL LED lights... Gonna convert the fog-lights to LED... Maybe even the HID's soon
