Stock 23 tac LED low beam vs DD sl1

Cant find anything on this. Hoping one of you guys has seen something?
Factory 2023 Tacoma Led low beam headlights vs Diode Dynamics SL1??
On sale now, just thinking about it. Thanx!

 

You cannot replace the bulbs on OEM led headlights

 

Well, that narrows choices a lot! That's friggin weird though. Ill have to read about this, see what to do when it burns out.
Thanks.

 

If it burns out, which is unlikely given the lifespan of quality LEDs, you’ll buy a new headlight assembly.

 

Really unsure what is being asked here. OEM low beam is vastly higher output intensity, zero question. The SL1 isn’t available in a low beam pattern, there is nothing here that is comparable at all for low beam.

OEM LED is covered in this thread:

Dumb as hell. When there is a problem you have to spend $600 to $1000 a piece! to replace instead of buying a bulb.
Smart of Toyota. One of the biggest scams I've heard of in the Automotive industry.
Just buy better aftermarket obviously if something happens.
Thanx anyway.

 

I don’t know of any vehicle that has replaceable factory LED emitters.

 

You won’t find a better aftermarket replacement at a cheaper price. Integrated LED headlights are on nearly all new vehicles sold and vastly outperform any halogen headlight in both light output and longevity.

Let’s do the math real quick. The LEDs are generally rated for a 50000 hour life. If you drive three hours of darkness a day you’d get 45 years of life out of the headlight.

 

Still not sure what you are asking. Do you have a problem with your OEM LEDs? It would be covered under warranty. All manufacturers are moving to fully integrated LED assemblies, Toyota literally has some of the highest quality components on the market. The headlights should outlast the vehicle. That isn’t going to happen with cheaper aftermarket.

 

Do you know anything about OEM LED headlights? 30-40 years, depending. Not your mom's headlights...

 

Just to cover all the bases... OP, do your headlights look like the first or second pic?

If your factory headlamp is the LED lamp, with the full width reflectors, then don't worry, they'll likely outlast the truck (with, likely, an eventual lense polish and re-clearcoating). If your factory lamps are the low beam projector style, and they're making a non-halogen color temperature, then you may want to check your build sheet. Toyota does not make a drop in retrofit LED based lamp. If your headlamps are the OEM halogen, but were sold to you as "LED," then you need to have a sit down with your dealer.

 

next you’re gonna say the engine won’t last 50 years. Dumb as hell!
