Yeah same here. Holy crap they are great. I did have to run to the autoparts store to get new 3 prong headlight harness plugs because mine were brittle and fell apart as I unplugged them from my old lamps.

I now need to get the new black clips that hold the grill to the radiator support most are broken.

ovrrdrive · 01-16-2009, 02:10 AM

Yeah those prongs suck. I broke most of them that weren't broken already on mine. I have like 3 holding the grill in right now. Time for some zip ties.

Swank · 01-16-2009, 05:12 AM

Most of mine were already broken from the previous owner. I am going by the dealer to get new clips.

trbizwiz · 01-16-2009, 06:48 AM

I think the Toyota engineer that worked on that part had hate in his heart, must have been going through a divorce or something. I know I had hate in my heart when I was putting mine in.

Swank · 01-16-2009, 07:59 AM

LOL I hear ya.

toylocost · 01-18-2009, 05:00 PM

Hey how did you guys install these? I'm looking at mine compared to the stock ones still in the truck and I dont see how any of the brakets would fit stock. Did you use the stock adjustment screws? Anybody got pics of the light itself installed?

flashkl · 01-18-2009, 05:01 PM

The part that the screws go into is the retaining rings. It's the metal frame around the actual light housing. The frame stays, only the light housing is replaced.

toylocost · 01-18-2009, 05:13 PM

OK. I got it now I went out and looked again and I didnt realize the metal ring that goes on the front came off of the old one.

Thanks.

toylocost · 01-18-2009, 07:42 PM

OK. After 2 weeks I got mine in. I think they definetley are an improvement but I've not had a chance to drive with either set as my truck is not in driving condition. I did get some pictures though. They are the DOT approved model...

regularjoe · 01-19-2009, 04:38 PM

Toylocost it looks like I waited you out. Thanks for the pics. I just got my refund yesterday so I may be ordering these soon. I think they look much better.

toylocost · 01-19-2009, 06:03 PM

Well I chose the DOT approved ones because someone said that the others werent DOT approved because they didnt throw light up to overhead signs. I figured I'd like to see the signs in front of me and maybe they are DOT approved for a reason. lol. (not that I would hesitate to defy the law, lol)

elblako91 · 02-03-2009, 05:13 PM

So does any one have some pics of the Euro Lights from eBay seller "rimiinc" with the upgraded 100/90 watt WHITE bulbs for 6 dollars? Heres the LINK to the ones I'm talking about.

Thanks-Blake

toylocost · 02-04-2009, 11:42 AM

these are the ones everyone in this thread is talking about. idk who used those bulbs though...

elblako91 · 02-04-2009, 01:07 PM

Yeah i know but i wondering if anyone has any pictures with that specific bulb. So far I've heard them use that wattage for the blue tint and it did not perform as well.

deez4wdsparechange · 02-16-2009, 07:05 PM

i got a set of h4 style projector head lights
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/82-95...Q5fAccessories
are the projector style different than the ones u guys are getting and what are the pros and cons to this style light
When i hooked them up they didn't seem that bright but i donno if i had them aligned correctly or not thnks
and if i maybe need to upgrade bulbs?

gary96360 · 02-16-2009, 10:20 PM

are these any good?

Elton · 02-16-2009, 11:16 PM

I agree I would stick with them.

gary96360 · 02-17-2009, 07:18 PM

lol the only reason i like the ones in the link is that they are clear looking with that thing in the middle that makes the pattern

gary96360 · 03-03-2009, 05:08 PM

im checking out the autopal lights on ebay and i was wondering if the 100/90 bulbs will burn up the wiring and fuses?

flashkl · 03-03-2009, 05:12 PM

if your wiring is in good shape you should be okay. I've been running 80/100 hella bulbs for a while now and so far so good. But if the cables are getting corroded and worn out it might pose a problem. Just hook 'em up, and check the voltage drop over each headlamp, if it seems low, get the 4crawler harness.

gary96360 · 03-04-2009, 04:43 PM

so 80 watts is low beam and 100watts is high beam? if it is so ithen i should just get the 100/55 for 2 bucks cheaper. if i want the power of 90 minus well leave the highbeams on
