Faux Pro Headlights with Led Strip

Depot one seems more focused to me, but I have yet to go out for a night drive or make any adjustments. I'll try to snap some pics at night over the weekend.

 

If they have a decent cutoff and dont blind anyone, then im buying. But from what i just saw, the light is more dispersed at the top, which will end up blinding people with hids.

I'm really interested to see the cutoff with them adjusted at a further distance. I really want to buy these, but dont want to blind others.

 

Where the hell is @mesojdm to weigh in on these??

 

I was out adjusting the beams late last night and noticed an issue on the driver side. Smudge on the top of the projector lens. I'll contact Kyle to see about a replacement as well.

Here's what they look like in the same spot (didn't move the truck) with the beams adjusted downward.

 

yeah that strange cut off and hot spot is weird.

 

Looking through this thread & looking like this might be the mod I'm looking for.
Any further input on the hotspot and cutoff pattern? Pics appear to show cutoff, illumination pattern, and brightness very close to factory - Is that right?
Also, along the way a "coupon code" was mentioned in this thread ... anybody have that (valid). Certainly would help me pull the trigger on front and back lights.

 

Im not having any issues with mine and the output allears same as factory for me. I dont notice any difference. As far as the coupon code im not sure if its still valid u can throw then in cart and apply it and see if it discounts it. But im not as picky as some i dont get into measuring “hot spots and beam patterns”. I turn headlights on and if they work and dont bling people im happy

 

Just an update and note on USR's customer service. Top notch so far... they've been quick to respond and appear to be customer service-minded. Kyle, specifically, has been going above and beyond the standard CS experience. He gave me his own personal cell # yesterday and when I texted him about the driver side smudge, he responded right away, on his own personal time even though he's not at work. Good dude for sure.

Regarding the light output, I'll do a proper adjustment from further away and try to post some night shots after I get my replacements and share my $.02 at that time.

 

As I've said before, customer service is key and is always a huge selling point for me. Seeing this may have just made the decision for me.

 

Just ordered the Tail lights, waiting for merchant to complete the order with Paypal. Anyone else have that message when ordering with paypal?

 

Just ordered tail lights also, no issues. received Paypal email saying all was good.

 

Gonna love walking out to your car.

 

Yes cant wait to get rid of the ugly OR light. Will get fronts next month. Thanks

 

Bought my faux Pro tail lights last November. Zero issues and quality is exceptional. Still on the fence for the Pro headlights. Was hoping to see a Memorial Day discount code. Still not a bad price compared to $2000 oem.

 

Man that looks great!!! Will do mine tomorrow...

Until then here's my next plan on mods. Turn-As-A-Tail mod that makes the whole tailight the running/brake/tailight in one. Need to upgrade to LED's back there & wire in some resistors to prevent hyperflash but will be exactly what I want with these Pro lights! Dont really like the half & half brake or turn signal look. Always kinda bugged me that Toyota did that but this kit fixes that

I just ordered the faux pro headlights yesterday and used “mtntaco” as the discount code and it gave me a 15% discount. I would not have completed the order if it didn’t give me the discount. It should be disappearing after this weekend. Hope this helps.

 

Yes I have them in my cart with that code. Takes off the $60 shipping plus $5. I know when I bought the DEPO taillights, from someone else, the price was competitive from several sellers. I paid $180 when others were 10-20% higher. That makes me wonder if these headlights will have competitive pricing by waiting. Not that the price is high anyway. Eventually there will be multiple sellers of these. This company may be an exclusive retailer now but probably not after a few months on the market. That doesn't mean I won't buy a set this weekend. Just not a must-have at the moment. Having said all that they are sweet looking headlights and will enhance my front end.

 

Before I went out for date night with the Mrs I adjusted the beams from 25ft away. Output is good. Different from OEM but honestly that's expected for the price point. Just waiting on word for my replacements, but killer deal if this works out.

Here's a shot from back inside garage.


Note - I take crappy pics. From my note 8.

 

Different how? Less throw or scattered beams different? I may get these and do an RX-350 upgrade.

 

Without a lux meter and judging by the hotspot on each side I'm going to say the DEPO projector is more centralized/focused which I think means more throw than the OEM projectors. I'm no pro on lighting so take it with a grain of salt.

More throw is fine by me since I drive with the OEM fogs on at night anyway.
