    I hear ya, but my Morimoto 2-Stroke LEDs are very bright and well focused that I rarely need high beams. I am looking for a better option in the high beam reflectors.

    Has anyone read this thread and tried using the Flosser H11 with the 12 gauge harness?
    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...-upgrade-not-led-or-hid.435419/#post-12592662

    From all the reading I've done, the glare and cut off are issues when replacing the stock halogen with HID or LED. But after reading this thread, it seems that most people are content with the HID upgrade which also seems the most cost effective.

    I ordered the Flosser H11 90W bulbs on eBay but the harness isn't guaranteed to work for more voltage to the bulb directly from the battery.

    If anyone else is going this route, please post!

    I feel the same... I simply want a plug and play option that provides a bright white 5K look.

    I trashed my High Beam OPT7 Bullet HIDs and installed a second set of Morimoto 2-Stroke 5500K LEDs for High Beams in the truck. I thing I have the perfect headlight set-up for my personal needs !!!

    I am gonna put them on my other 3 vehicles, as funds allow.

    Both HIDs using a relay harness and LEDs will provide a plug and play operation. The Relay harness is an entirely plug and play deal. You just have to undo a few bolts/nuts for power and ground wires. Not a single wire gets cut.

    Updated my thread to illustrate the wiring. It's really very easy.
