New TacomaBeast/OEMassive Headlights?

I have been using them now for a couple of months, and I can say they are insanely fantastic! What is cool, is that at night, when I turn on the turn signals to turn, combining the LED sequential signals with the LED side mirror signals that I got from MESO, well, you can see the turn signals a mile away! I can see the light reflecting on the sides of the road, street signs, etc. They are really bright, which is good! And of course, the DRLs look SO MUCH better than the standard OEM ones that were about half the size. I can highly recommend these, and they are easy to install if you just watch a couple of Youtube videos on headlight installation. It took me about an hour and a half, but I was taking my time and trying not to mess things up! Now, I think I could do it in about 45 minutes.

 

They are on the products to avoid list.

 

I honestly don't see any difference in lighting when driving at night with these. While I honestly had nothing against the stock OEM lights themselves, what was driving me was the dang chrome in the headlights; I hated it! I didn't even need the sequential turn signals, but just wanted to black out the chrome. But for the price, I thought I had to get these, and they are really great. No problems. Highly recommend!

 

for those with the morimotos does anyone have any issues with them? I remember seeing a post or two about them coming on in the middle of the night or something like that lol

 

Exactly what I figured

 

i've had mine installed for about 3 months and have never had them come on when not supposed to.

 

Hell, even if I never drove at night at all, I would have still gotten the lights I did, because man, they just LOOK GOOD when the truck is sitting in the driveway! But seriously, I have had no issues and they have performed flawlessly. Of course it has only been two months or so, but I am anticipating no issues.

 

Nice truck, nice house. Life is good

 

okay that’s good to know, wasn’t sure if it was headlight problem or maybe an installation problem.

& I found that post i was talking about:

i didn't use the fuse tap. I couldn't care less for the startup dance. I turn my lights on so I can see what's going on in front of me and down the road.

 

I got the gen 1 mori's on pre-order. So, one of the first retail sets. I have had no issues with mine. Only one minor thing is there is a slight bounce in the projector that I can notice when behind cars on the freeway.

 

Sorry, I’m kinda confused, from this installation video it says the fuse tap is used to power the DRLs? So is installing the fuse tap completely optional and you can just omit it and just plug&play the rest?

My truck/Headlights may be a unicorn as it's Canadian which is always on DRL. So, part of why the installer didn't run the fuse tap was because there is no way to turn off my DRLs. My understanding was also it helped with the startup dance. I can tell you this, the startup dance isn't there on mine and part of what may have been some of the issues.

 

thanks for the info!

i could care less about the startup sequence as well I just want the headlights and DRLs to work without issues lol

 

I sure did. Installed them yesterday evening. I can confirm Morimoto XB Gen 2 Ambers are absolute fire! And @memario1214 is one hell of a guy. Great service, price, and ships lightning fast! Highly recommend!

 

Thanks, the truck was my retirement gift to myself! My wife bought me one of those small rocks with engraving on it that says "Dream Big". I have the rock mounted in my truck!

 

Yes he is my friend, you has pics of these beauts

 

I have seen some people here talking about a "fuse tap". I don't even know what the heck that is, but for the lights I bought, it was honestly a simple plug and play. There were the same wires in the new lights as in the old ones. Unplugged the old ones and plugged in the new ones, and everything has been working insanely great ever since! Of course, it may be because these lights were specifically designed for trucks that have factory DRL but they were really a simple plug them in and all is good. The hardest part about the whole installation, was just getting that dang 3rd bolt for the headlights, which meant taking off the front grill, unhooking two of the tabs that the front tire well flares are held in with, and then pop out the side of the front fenders. It was just a real pain, but now that I have done it, I do think I could do the whole thing again in about 45 minutes. I DO highly recommend though, that if anyone is going to replace the headlights themselves, to just watch a couple of Youtube videos on it. Most of them are pretty darn good, but watch a couple in case someone doesn't put in a step or show something. I had taken the front grill off before though, when I swapped out the OEM for the TRD Pro, like everyone else does, so that was really easy. I AM glad though, that I did it myself, with these headlights, as it does give one a sense of accomplishment to do it themselves!

 

Morimoto specific.. nothing in your setup
