    Hey Y’all i’ve read many conversations about replacement bulbs for Tacos headlights but they are all pretty old.

    I want some clear white led bulbs but my Taco have reflector headlight so I’m pretty confused now what to get.

    I bought a set of Hikaris Ultras because many people have being using them for years without any problem but they all have projectors headlight so i’ll have to return them to Amazon

    as you can see I don’t know much about this. Thanks y’all

    The housing's just really aren't made to direct the light from an LED. The light might appear brighter, but it won't be focused and will just glare up close and provide worse lighting than the stock ones at distance. If you want to do it right, you'll need an entirely new LED-specific headlight housing.

    I ran LED's and hated the spread it produced. Went with HID's (Apparently a capital offense in the eyes of some forum members) but I am happy with the results and I've never once had anyone flash their high beams at me. I also made sure to adjust them to compensate. I will however say that I will eventually upgrade to the Pro LED headlights.
