    They were shipped from the supplier Wednesday and I should receive them on Monday. :)

    They then will be boxed up and shipped out 1-3 day shipping depending where you live.

    What temperment is the usual buy for the Tacomas? I like the 4300k because it looks the closest to OEM. For the 2nd Tacos what size will fit the headlight and foglights?

    just got mine in and installed them i got the 6000k in the 50w option.
    I was wondering why the driver side light seems so much brighter? is that because that brown coupler thing plugs into the right side? also do u need the silver type v shaped thing that goes around the bulb? My right side is alot higher then the left side can u get them angles professionally? and I didnt notice a huge diff between the dims and brights did i do something wrong?

    I am not to sure what you mean about the bolts but the shields should be in the housing facing up as if it were a bowl. Does that make sense? Also, you most likely just need to align your lights for them to seem the same brightness might have one dispursing light further and the other more directly in front of you. Its easy to align them and there should be instructions on this forum for you. The brown coupler thingy is just to be able to use the function of the switching into high beams. Let me know how it goes. :)

    Yes opening on the top so the shield metal is on the bottom of the bulb. Also, there is a factory leveling instructions for the headlights somewhere on here I used a while back. It tells you how high to have them when your beams are hitting a wall. I too was lifted 3" but on 265's and did it and never got flashed from oncoming traffic.
