    As has already been mentioned, no. Please, just no. There's a reason no LED bulbs are listed in the original thread: None of them perform worth a crap in 2nd gen housings. They are nowhere near the output that the packaging promises and the light is in all the wrong places. Do they put a lot of light right in front of the truck? Yup, but none down the road where you're heading. Do other people think they're bright - because they flash you? Yup - because the almost total lack of beam control leads to lots of misdirected light pointed right into oncoming drivers eyes. Just say no.

    For more detailed testing of LED bulbs in housings designed for halogens, (in 3rd gen housings), see this: 3rd Gen HID vs LED vs Halogen H11 projector headlights | Tacoma World

    Yeah i was looking for an upgrade, ordered some led's off Amazon but not very happy with them. Low beam is trash, high beam is a bit better than stock though. Probably gonna try those Osram Superbrights if I can get my hand on them.
