    I'll have to order a set to compare exactly but I've had decent luck with the 2005-2011 sets. The differences being:

    1) Weight of the rear housing itself is heavier/thicker on OEM
    2) DEPO may have some imperfections on the bezels (I sand to minimize/paint over usually) or lenses themselves. Imperfections are minimal and I don't get complaints from customers
    3) Fitment is better with OEM of course with smaller gaps, better finish etc
    4) Price is half for the DEPO compared to OEM

    To me, it's all about the clarity of the lenses. A brand new DEPO set will look better than a used OEM set with rock chips, pitting, and haze. BHLM will show all imperfections of the lenses.

    Mods? Yes, oh yes..
    Any heat/melting issues with the BLHM and 55w setups? Also, are there other color options instead of black for the BLHM?

    I don't recommend running 55W set ups. I've seen too many failures regarding the heat - I will be happy to install them for you but no expressed warranty on parts/workmanship warranties relating from heat.

    I can paint the lights whatever you want but may be extra depending if my painter has in stock.

    I am scheduled with delreal for him to come in on the first of June. I will knock out both that weekend! Thanks for waiting Tim!

    As for anyone else with doubts on time, 2005-present Tacoma is not a long wait. I just didn't have a truck to aim off for 01-04.

    What is the current wait right now?

    If I add my name to the list when should I expect to be asked to pay?

    Obviously I know there can be no exact/accurate answer but a rough idea would be nice.

    Took me about 3 months to get from 15th to paying the deposit (last week). After deposit, he said it's 2-3 weeks.

    Just ask to be put on the list, and if you need more time, I'm sure others are willing to skip you.

    I'll take better pics once I can get it washed, but can't do that for 2 days. Had the lenses tinted with clear Lamin-X to prevent oxidation and scratches. Comes with a 7 year warranty, so we should be good. Also, had the fog lights done with the gunsmoke (darker tint) and the side markers done with tint (lighter tint). The chrome of the lights needed to go after the new headlights were on...
