    Weird just to confirm these are 2 stroke leds? I had to push my headlight out a little to squeeze em into the low beams but they fit.

    I'm at a loss man sorry. In the low beams the 2 stroked barely fit without removing the headlight. I didn't try em in the high beams. To fit into low beams you have to remove the 2 top screws of the headlight and use a little force to wedge em in. Had my girlfriend pull on the light while I lined me up.

    Once lined up it takes a minute to turn the bulbs to line up with the socket. Once lined up and in the chord should just barely touch the truck frame...shouldn't rub at all.

    I got em in the highs, I have HIDs for the low, prefer the 360* output of HIDs in a projectors.


    The 2 strokes work well as a high beam.. as long as they won't be the cause of engine failure like the last LEDs were

    No I had to take about 1mm of material off the larhe tab with a dremel.

    Another user had the 2 strokes and he experienced the same engine failure problems I had, he just didn't get stuck with a 14k bill.

    It seems when these LEDs get wet, our Tacomas are wired in a way that the ecu and lights are tied together, the LEDs emit a bad frequency and back feed, causing havoc.

    I though the original issue with your truck was from morimoto HIDs and not LEDs?

    If these 2strokes are causing problems I will yank mine out I don't need that mess. Lol

    yup the morimoto H11b. bouncing on imperfect roads and over railroad tracks. i can see them move off a dark street and other peoples cars.

    these came with the supposedly " new gourment '' washers thats bigger and stiffer but it still bounces .

    alot of other people have the same issue but still no solution.
