    Has anyone installed any Halo LED headlights for their PreRunner? I would like to know if you had any problems with the install. I found a really nice set and they look really sharp but I've read some negative feedback on the installation process and the overall end result...any opinions?

    Overall light output leaves something to be desired, other than that if you seal them with some clear silicone before you install them they work flawlessly. I have spyder brands on mine.

    True on that...seems they are a bit over priced for end results I have been reading about...but I really like the way they look.

    from what ive seen, a guy in town has them if they are the same i think you are talking about. They look good but the light output is terrible. My stocks were much better and you cant beat a true retrofit. Him driving down the road you can barely see past about 10 feet in front of the truck. But i think TRS has a spyder headlight conversion that you can add better projectors.

    They look good for sure, but from experience, I wouldn't buy them again. As a matter of fact I'm in the middle of a defective retrofit right now. I've been having problems with solenoids hanging up and all, so I just slapped my spider back in for the time being until I get this lined out.

    the prefabricated headlights that you are talking about are always garbage. They're cheap, light output is terrible and they burn out very fast. I would avoid them at all cost
