Headlight Upgrade?

Check out the Morimoto XB lights from The Retrofit Source.

Hit up @TRSAndrew !

 

Ditto. I run them as my high beams and the HID low beams are 10x stronger for same price.

 

Drastically disagree. The light output from HID is a lot better and more focused down. To me, it makes driving way safer.

 

Personally, if I had to do it all over again, I would do my own blackout mods to my factory headlights. I have had three sets of headlights in my truck since purchase, and none have been as good as my factory lights with Putco Nitro LED bulbs. I have had the Spyder Smoke Sequential LED DRL Projector headlights (absolute CRAP). I have had a set of I have had a set of Morimoto XB Black Sequential DRL LED headlights (acceptable). Nothing has performed like the factory housings.

The Morimoto XBs have a very nice low beam, but the high beam is a joke. Aside from the cool factor, they are not worth the investment. Seriously......stay with the factory housings, and save a LOT of money

 

For anyone wanting a serious upgrade check out my retrofit package.

This might be the way to go!

 

I'm definitely interested in black housing to complete the stormtrooper look, and sounds like the tacomabeast ones aren't exactly the best. I'll check out your retrofit!

 

hmmm yea it seems like I should just retrofit the factory ones. I was worried the spyder ones would be crap so good to know

Anyone seen or worked with anything by Oracle lighting?

 

Awesome! Should have another fucked electrical system thread soon.

Here are 2 shots from my dash cam with my Morimoto XBs. They are not as bright as HID but I’m pleased with their performance after I got them adjusted, out of the box they weren’t aimed right at all. Took a little time to get right with the high and low beams having separate adjustments for both vertical and horizontal.

Low


high

 

I can't really see an difference between the lows and highs...

 

Unfortunately different spots on the road and just screen captures from a dash cam. Need to zoom in or have a large screen, it’s hard to see on a phone for example but the highs do throw light much further down the road they don’t really add to width though.

 

Have @no vtec 4me do a retrofit for you. Great improvement. Top notch work.
