    Have Morimotos and they shake like crazy. Not worth the 150 imho and they said it's the Tacomas fault but other after market HIDs I've had didn't shake at all and nor do the stock lights.

    I have the updated Morimotos too.

    I will have to take some pictures of the lights shining down the road. Here is what the pattern looks like from my posts in the Morimoto thread when I installed them:

    Yea I saw That to me a pic up against a wall means nothing Bc my leds look twice as bright as that, I think the Road pic would give a more realistic view since they won’t be shining directly on something, thanks

    It was more for showing the light pattern and that not too much light was wasted in the "squirrel" finders. I also used the light off of my garage to aim my lights so they matched factory. I'll get some pictures of the HID's awesome road lighting capabilities.:D

    Looking at the Xenon Depot kit, do we need the CANbus? Also, do y'all prefer 5000k or 6500k?

    We don't need CANBUS. I prefer the Philips 4300k since it's pretty much a direct match for the LED accents in the headlights already.

    I’m still stock. The color difference sucks so bad - but I’ll live for now until I decide how to go.

    for whatever reason i can't vote. my vote would be for the Hyalux & Diode Dynamics waterproof relay. [edit: the poll is closed... why is that?]

    the link above is where i was inspired to try it.

    I'm about 26k and 14 months or so into it, and it's been perfect. bright, clear, no shake at all, color matches everything, it's great. easy install and waterproof. would buy again.
