    What headlights do you guys run? Wanting something a little brighter. I bought some Sylvanias on ebay but I think they might be counterfeits because they suck.

    Everything you need is here:
    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/the-ultimate-headlight-upgrade-h4-not-led-or-hid.398066/

    If you scroll down in the thread there are output comparison charts and best options for stock wattage with no harness vs high wattage bulbs that require a standalone harness.

    Synvanias are not a good choice for a performance bulb, they provide whiter light but not more output and often less than stock.

    Just a thought........if you still have original housings just make sure the plastic isn’t cloudy all the way through, otherwise no bulb will work adequately.
