    Where can I source these in canada ?

    I know there are a few brands of aftermarket headlights, I have a 2020 TRD Sport and the stock lights are less appealing.

    Let me know if you have any suggestions on brand and where to order from!

    I ordered them from Sparks Parts:

    81110-04290
    81150-04290

    You can surf around for a Canada dealer to probably get them cheaper.

    You’ll need the conversion harness from @daveeasa

    They don’t have the engineering, performance, or reliability that the stock ones do.

    If you don’t realize, you can just get on the Toyota parts site and order those headlights from any Canada dealer that may have them.

    See attached invoice from Toyota canada for the LED headlight assemblies.

    almost $3000! Are these really worth it over aftermarket?

    Go to toyotapartsdirect.ca. The actual price vs the retail price is much better.

    I'm not going to do the canada money conversion but here in the US buying the two lights from a dealer with a discount is usually about $1300-1400. Aftermarket lights like Morimoto or any of the other brands like CaliRaised or TacomaBeast or whatever are generally about the same price, maybe slightly less. They are nowhere near as good of quality, so I would say the OEMs are the best way to go. As I said though, search them online and order yourself, don't ask a dealer to get them for you because they will no doubt charge much higher for them than you should pay.

    ^

    Yeah, you can get everything you need for half that price. I don't think I've seen anyone in the MEGA thread pay more than $1450 for everything and some as low as $1100-$1200 for everything with some sales that went on

    I'm a headlight snob. I have run the following on my 2018:

    OEM LED DTLR Housings - Halogen bulbs
    OEM LED DTRL Housings - LED Bulbs (best overall light but blinded oncoming drivers due to glare)
    Spyder Housings - Halogen bulbs (absolute SHIT)
    Spyder Housings - HID Modified (just barely above absolute SHIT and they got so hot they started to melt)
    Morimoto XB Gen 1 - nice mod (actually ran these for over a year)
    Morimoto XB Gen 2 - a little nicer (you could change the color of the DTRL to amber from standard white)
    OEM TRD PRO LED - THESE ARE AWESOME! Best of all worlds

    Spoiler - all previous housings were sold at minimal loss, coz there is always someone who wants to follow your footsteps rather than trailblaze.

    I went through SPARKS and used Cloe's discount code. These headlights are awesome bright, they come preadjusted, but can be tweaked to your preferences. I seldom get flashed by another driver.

    My Alpharex quad-projector LED headlights were about $2000 going through eBay after shipping and import fees...

    Beam pattern on the OEM compound reflector LEDs are better. However, the sequential turn signals don't look as good as Alpharex, because the OEM design uses IIRC 6 LEDs vs ~20 LEDs in aftermarket designs.

    They are still sequential, it’s a misprint. They are reverse sequential, i.e. they flash the full amber signal and then fade it out to the outside edge of the truck.
