    I personally bought this one to give a try and Im quite impressed. Definitely puts alot of light down the road. It says flood combo spot, but I got just all spot, which I wanted anyways. Here are some comparison shots. Not bad for the price.

    Same style bars I have. Guessing you're using a phone camera? Doesn't really show output as well as mine. But those fxrs w/cbi are crazy bright! You can see it over the led bar! I got mini h1's... Suck compared to yours, but sufficient for me..

    My bar "fills" in where my headlights can't. I can see the cutoff on my H1's with the bar on...then again it's a small 13" Flood. Gotta start somewhere. And for $45...who the Hell would say no???

    Lol. Trs posted this pick on Facebook as if you were sporting their morimoto xbars. Except yours are rigids. Yer projectors are theirs tho. Must be nice. I thought about upgrading but nopoint now with all my led bars.

    Edit: wrong quote. That was meant for xmods...

    Wow... Small world...

    My buddy just moved to Oahu and went to the truck show.
    He's got a super clean scout but is thinking about buying a tacoma...

    While at the show, he texted me a picture he took of your truck.

    Finally got some nice shots. And got my 8" 10 watt pair put back in the turn signal areas. Had to disconnect the amber rigids on hood as its just barely too much power before they flicker badly. Still got a tiny bit of flickering under certain loads. Still awaiting my dc power h/o alt.

    Not well at all actually. I cut out the entire thing except for a top and bottom lip in the plastic to put small bolts in to hold the mesh grill and use those same bolts to attach supports for the bar.

    Forgot to mention... AFTER I did all that (and what a pain), yes, they fit perfectly with the way I did it. And I love em. Looks clean. And lemme guess, is the idea you had to use amber led bars for turn signals? Lol, be careful with that if so. That was my first thought anyways. With the rigid Srq's I have that are now on my hood. They were just too small and looked tiny in the turn housing area. Then that's when I made my headlight filler panel turn signals...
