Headlight replacement: AlphaRex Pro series projector or OEM???

Greetings,

Headlight noob, here...

I'm about to replacement the cracked and faded headlight assemblies on my Gen 2 Tacoma. My question, for you knowledgable folks, should I replace with OEM through my mechanic? Or purchase a pair of these newer style projector headlights? H7 halogen high and low beam. I may have read mixed reviews somewhere on the latter, which are about $100-150 cheaper.

Aesthetics don't mean a darned thing to me, but function and reliability do.

Thoughts?

 

Read the following post - at least the first few pages which are constantly updated by the OP who is our resident lighting expert. In short, OEM is far superior to anything aftermarket. If you want to save a few bucks, look for a used set of OEM housings in the TW Marketplace.

Thank you. That's what I was looking for.
