    Original assemblies were/are in good shape, so I stuck with them. I like the look of TRD Pro headlights, but couldn't justify the cost.

    Be sure to check out the last couple pages of the headlight thread. There is an updated higher output version of the Osram bulb available you might consider. I have them but haven't installed or reviewed them yet. (Not to be confused with the stock wattage Volsa bulbs).

    I agree the Philips are probably the best LED H4 bulb, but the low beam cutoff still isn't great and the output is a bit splotchy due to the individual diodes. And I recently discovered they are kinda shitty in thick fog. I'd probably recommend the ultimate headlight upgrade, or do a projector retrofit if you don't mind spending a bit more and taking your headlights apart.

    I have the Phillips headlights and Morimoto fogs. Ive had both installed for about 10 months and couldn't be happier. The out put is a little splotchy as stated before but with the combo of the Morimotos all gaps are filled for a crisp pure white picture out front. Ive never been flashed by other drivers with the low beam on. The high beams are awesome as well. To me they are well worth the money. They haven't let me down in any driving conditions.
