    Other than for 3rd gen 2019 the low beams are rated poor in testing and I concur, upgraded the bulbs and it helps.

    As in light output. Stick in a plug and play LED or better yet an HID bulb and you'll be amazed at the difference. Toyota uses a halogen bulb because its reliable and extremely cheap compared to LED and HID.

    I'm not stating that LEDs are not better just that the OEMs are not terrible. Guess it depends on how anal you are in regard to your headlights. I find the OEMs find for my purposes.

    They will do the job but nowhere near as well. I want as much visibility as possible.

    I would've not consider a partial refund. Get your full refund if you do decide to return. I bought my lights from the group buy. There were problems with aiming them and some leds on the drl strip weren't working. I returned them immediately, but too a heck of a long time to get my refund.

    Recommendation on a plug and play LED or HID bulb? I have been entertaining the idea of replacing with an LED bulb but then I keep reading they actually perform worse in our headlight housings. What are you using?

    Is there any type of inline filter or noise reduction shielding available? I'm not stressing over the static, its just a minor annoyance.
