headlights

where can I buy some headlights that have good reviews. no leaking. I want somewhat like oem headlights but black. Yes I know I can do that BHLM but I don't have time to do it. I want brand new headlights.
can anyone help?

 

Nothing matches oem quality.
That's why I bought a oem pair from here to do my bhlm at my own convenience.
But..
Depo headlights on ebay seem to have ok reviews.
Eitherway I'd reseal ANY aftermarket headlights I got.

 

Like these?

 

I have the Depos in the above picture. Still look great after 2 years. I got my pair on Amazon though for a very good price and prime shipping.
Just put a bead of quality silicone around the lens and housing for peace of mind and you should be good to go. Ive never had any fogging or leaking issues.

 

Does it still have the Amber centers?

 

If your referring to the bulbs then yes. These are the actual ones i ordered.

 

Wonder if these would be a good starting point to do an LED mod.. and to do a halo. Saves you having to paint the housing black

 

for that price point it would be worth a shot.

 

I recently got the Depo headlights to replace the old ones on my 05 and did the Mini H1 retrofit with 5500k bulbs. I was careful to reseal the lights with the butyl rubber sealant and no issues so far with moisture. This was taken before I aimed the headlights.

 

Truck looks a lot better than before.

 

Any pics of the actual lights mounted on your truck? Also, how difficult was it going from a halogen to a mini d1 retrofit? Seriously considering trying the same rather than paying $1k+ for a set made by a customer vendor (although they do beautiful work.)

 

ah you're on top of it! disregard my other post

 

How difficult was the mini-D1 retrofit install? Wondering how hard it would be to do with the addition of a halo as well.

 

It wasn't that difficult, just a time and money thing really. I probably spent about 12 hours total and around $360 between the Depo headlights and the H1 retrofit kit from The Retrofit Source. Definitely far less than a grand and the hardest thing was probably removing the headlights, but found out how on the forum. I did have one ballast arrive defective, bulb wouldn't stay on, but TRS sent me a replacement free and pronto.

I didn't do a halo although I doubt it would have been much more trouble, just more money.

 

Now I'm imagining that this would be how my rig looked with those bulbs... And if I was an Uber driver.

/damn you TacomaWorld for making me want to spend more money!

 

Haha yeah, it was worth it though. I can see a lot better at night now! The Prius has good high beams but the lows suck, so thinking of either the 2 Stroke LED kit or another HID set for those.

 

Yup. At the very least it wold give me the opportunity to fix the derpy beam paths on my lights...

 

What kind of headlights/bulbs do you have now? The color doesn't look like a basic halogen bulb but something else? Passenger side looks aimed too high to me.

 

I like the OEM headlights that I have now, I just cant adjust them is my only complaint.

 

OEM headlights are adjustable I bought SR/ Pro headlights for OEM quality with BHLM look.
