    I am in the market for some new headlights. The previous owner of my 2009 had put in these super tinted ones, not sure what they are.. but I can't see a damn thing at night so I'm gonna just go for it now.
    Anyone have any recommendations? just want something that works well without breaking the bank...would like something a little flashy, but if OEM is the best quality then I would go with that also. here are some options I found after a quick Amazon search.

    Let me know if these are junk haha. thanks!

    The same shit everyone else has.
    OEM is best.

    If you want something a little flashier, the factory “smoked” TRD lights are a great option.

    Checking back in on this. I know, everyone says OEM, and maybe I'll regret this but I've got Amazon credit and going to give it a shot :bananadance:
    Does anyone have ANY amazon headlight housing recommendations that have worked well?

    If you're not going for OEM, at least try for insurance company-rated ones. I believe the rating is CAPA, others on here may know more.
