TacomaBeast Spyder headlights

Correct

 

Any issues with condensation yet? I've read a few good reviews and a few not so good so I'm still on the fence whether to buy or not.

 

No condensation and I’ve checked everyday. In Maryland we’ve had rain for 2 weeks but 90 degree weather so humidity has been crazy

 

Thanks, I'm in the South so I feel you on the humidity. That is good to hear another solid review though.

 

No, for the 2005-2011 version you use the small 2-wire harness that normally powers the parking light bulb in the stock headlight housing. Then I simpl6 leave my headlight stock in the first setting which is the parking light mode. When I turn the key on they come on & off when the key turns off (after I open the door) and when I need headlights on it's one more click forward.

 

Either way, I like the way they look/

 

So the DRL on the Spyder lights still powers the orange DRLs and the LED light bulb is only on when you turn on your parking lights? Also, are you saying that you can leave your parking light switch in the on position and still not drain the battery when you park and take your keys out?

 

My truck doesn't have DRL from the factory in the stock headlights so my experience may differ from yours in that you may still have the orange DRLs on if your stock housing had them since you just transfer that over. My non-DRL truck behaves in exactly the manner which I described above which for me is ideal. YMMV

 

Has anyone photographed the light output? I assume it's not much better than stock.

 

How are those headlights holding up a year later? Thanks

 

Mine is holding up well, no peeling, yellowing, or fading. I park outside at work and at home and I live in a very sunny area.

 

Great to hear. I just ordered mine yesterday.

 

Just ordered the Chrome version of these.
About to pull the trigger on this retrofit kit from Theretrofitsource https://www.theretrofitsource.com/recon-spyder-specd-retrofit-kit.html

 

So how did the retro fit go?
Got pics?

 

Wound just putting some H1 Morimoto leds in and callin it a day. May do it down the road but I'm good for now.

 

great! hows the light output?

 

Infinitely better than the h1 halogens that came with it (wouldn't drive at night with those).
I'm certain doing an actual retrofit will be even better once I get around to it but it's completely fine as is now.
Next money drain on the list will be a Detroit TruTrac.

 

Nice! Hahaha. I’ve been dragging on buying them because of the out put. I’ve read many post that say they are good to look at but driving at night with then is bad because you can’t see! But if these HID’s make a difference G2G.

But, I missed the TCMBST cyber sale ....

 

Link to a good replacement bulb for these? I’m too prone to messing everything up to try and find a bulb myself.

 

I love the look of these lights! But I find the black might stick out too much on my Silver Streak Mica...

Has anyone tried colour matching the Tacomabeast/Spyder headlights?
