Would these headlights look good on my truck?

These are super popular headlights that i might get, but idk how they would look on my truck. I dont want them to stand out and be “too black”

i have a silver sky metallic 2015 btw

I know they put a comparison in the listing but im not quite sure what im looking at, whats the difference

 

the base headlights have a chrome shroud around the reflectors, pro headlights are a black shroud

this pic might be better to understand.

 

I've been looking for a set of headlights and I like these a lot. I love the look of the DRL which is a huge upgrade from OEM in my opinion.

 

Yeah i def love the C design. The price makes my pocket feel lighter tho

 

Build a set of retros for almost half the price and double the performance.

 

… not a big fan of the way the “eye” looks tho

 

I’ve heard Morimoto is better than AlphaRex.

It depends on what light emitting source is used. And what is able to be fit inside the housing.
There are good projectors. There are bad ones. Another factor is the cost compared to a regular style housing with better bulbs and harness that is popular, an upgrade, and cheaper.

the housing has a say. Every housing is a different shape. Some can fit a good projector. Some can’t.

this is probably the way. Very common on other cars and many write ups on HID planet forum. Very affordable. Don’t know why this isn’t more common on the Tacoma. This is the only way to do it.

I did something similar on my last car and it was the best lights I ever had, could see anything.
Bosch AL gen2 bixenon e46 projectors
TRS clear lens
Paint black cutoff shield
HID D1S osram CBI bulbs (green mercury free)
I think either 35w or 55w ballasts

 

I’ll be running a Morimtoo D2S 5.0 projector along with a 50w ballast.

 

I think they’d look great.

 

Thread on the headlights you are looking at.

I won’t lie, almost pulled the trigger on these but reading reviews made me switch over to a retrofit. For that kind of money, I’d want a set that can out perform a retrofit.

 

Looks should be secondary to producing usable light

This thread should get you headed in the right direction

For me id buy them for the look. Mine are currently yellowed out. If i needed the extra light id wire up a light bar or something of the sort

May be worth a shot.

And light bars are typically illegal on the road. Upping the quality of your OE lights can let you see better, not offend other drivers and avoid LEO attention

 

Performance is more important than looks.

prioritizing a look (those don’t even look good) over performance is a great way to “look” dumb to the rest of society.
if you wanted looks you’d have a 70 series.

alright, so consciously choose ineffective lights and then turn on an illegal to use on road light bar at night in traffic

enjoy the tickets


SRQ has cheaper retrofits. I don’t know if they use good projectors or not.

some people might think the same model of projector used on old Touaregs, Cayennes, and B6 Audi S4 looks good. They’re also pretty shitty.
More time is spent in the truck driving at night not standing outside staring at it.

 

Factory Pro are the best.
