    Had mine in since April 12th, done ~1,100 mi. so far with no issues. My only concern is the same as every other headlight - the rain seriously diminishes the light output visible from the driver's seat,

    I want these :drool:

    I will wait for Chickenmunga Mike to get his set, and then maybe we can do a side-by-side comparison of our pre-'12 Tacos - my stock Halogens VS his LT LEDs (assuming my truck is running by then :p)

    Good to know! I am pretty much sold on these and will be purchasing from you when the time comes.

    I thought it would be nice to have an actual side-by-side comparison of the OEM Halos against the LEDs to show a comparison of the throw, beam pattern, width, high-beam/low-beam differences etc.

    There are a few spots near us that we can setup some targets and measure the actual distance the lights are throwing out.

    The rear of the headlights are pretty protected from that crap. Battery on one side and the washer fluid reservoir on the other.
