    I smoked a deer and need headlights. Looking for best aftermarket out there. Led, hid I just need something better than projector with led light bulbs.

    Go for the OEM LEDs. That's what I'd do if I either needed new headlights or just happened to have that kind of money laying around.

    Morimoto is what I have a I love them. The filament shakes a little in the housing but no big deal..

    I have a set of morimoto's...they aren't cheap (1395 or something...swear mine were 1500) but they're nice. BUT Tacomabeast has a set I wish I had waited and got...their turn signals are NICE...mine just blink...the beasts flow. They also have numerous different styles. Gonna spend 1k but they look GOOOOOOD...seriously debating selling my morimotos and buying a set of beasts...probably won't...got other more important mods I need to do first. I would check them out, all LED and f'ers are BRIGHT! Also look into an ARB summit bumper to protect the new lights.

    If you are referring to the AlphaRex lights, hard pass. Your Morimotos are vastly superior in lighting performance.

    You mean the AlphaRex.. yeah they're dope. I have some. And the post above mine is correct. The Alphas are bright, and look cool... But that's all I have to say about that

    dunno...just saw they had like 3 or so different styles. I can't argue with light output though, my morimotos light up the road very well :) and I don't know how tacomabeasts compare in that regard

    oh shizz...simply unplug a connector and I have sequential (smoothness) turns on my morimotos! ....I do wish the white led's staid lit even when the turn signals activated though. Also need to figure out how to stop them from dimming when the headlights are on (even factory does this though)
