    3rd gen. projector's? they look pretty cool but the beam on the lights is not very good from what i hear. i have the 2nd gen. projector's and i have the same problem with them. i heard you can put some hids in them and it will help the light pattern, but idk? from my experience i would stick to the oem style lights with the black housing. you will most likely get a better light output from those. just my $.02

    Yeah those are pretty much the ones I have right now. They were good to go for about 1 1/2 years until my driver side started fogging up. Wasnt to bad though, I just re-sealed it and now its fine!!;) I'm just thinking I got a bad driver side unit.:eek:

    Yeah I forgot who it was but they said they drilled a small hole on the bottom of the hosing cause they had the same problem and after that, they said no more fogging.:cool: Now I'm not sure how true that was since you would think that water and mist would get into that small lower hole.:rolleyes:

    Ummm, it's better lol. I don't really know how to explain it. It's got cheapo-projectors on the brights and they are pretty bright, even in the day light. I didn't take a before and after shot, sorry.

    So for the "Halo" or ring, Dose it require after market wireing?? or dose everything just plug in like stock?

    if there like mine, then not stock, you have to wire them into the marker lights then are turned on when you dont have your lights on, atleast thats how mine were

    The ambers and the low/high beams are plug and plays. Technically you can wire the halos and led's to any of them. I spliced mine to the marker lights so I can turn them on and off. In my opinion they are better looking than either other headlight for Tacos and I get compliments on the front end of my truck quite often.
