That's what I thought too. Take it with a grain of salt.

I think the ones I ordered are a different style that the others bought. I'm not too concerened ill give them a try. He has a 7day return policy Ill just see if I can exchange them for a different style.
Im thinking when robert said they pointed down when the high beams were on I wonder if it would have helped of they were fliped over. I got the shipping number today so they should be here next week. Ill let you all know how they work.

I bet they are the same. The box looks the same, the lights look the same, the manufacturer is the same, and the seller is the same...

And it also lists them as the ones for 82-95 toyota trucks in the description.

- Toyota 4Runner (88-91), Celica (82-93) MR2 (86-95), Pickup (82-95), Tacoma (95-97)
It's the same one.

Nice...

I'll see how the Ultra 100w/55w bulbs are and if they're not enough I'll get a set of those. I'd like to keep it tolerable for cross-traffic on the low beams if I can, but if I need more I just need more.

Thanks for the link.

as far as cross traffic goes i actually lowered my beam 3" more than it should be. it lights up the road better and when i want it to be "daylight" i just hit the highbeams. thats part of the reason i dumped my HId kit the "highbeams" looked more like parking lights..

Mine showed up a day early. The quality looks pretty good. It may be a few days before I can test them out though. So far they look nice.

I received my tracking number today. They should be here tomorrow. I was impressed that they shipped on the 5th and are scheduled for delivery on the 7th.

I cannot wait to install them.

I got my lights today and installed them. I hate to say but Robert was right. I know I got a different style than some of the others. My reflector backing and front glass is a differint style/design. The lowbeam light can't hold a tight enougth pattern and can't shine out but more than a few feet. I think I will see if I can sent them back for a set like Elton has. I know ill have to eat the shipping. FYI I only got 55/60 bulbs.

If you got the ones I linked in post #93 you got the same ones everyone else bought.

I'll try to get mine in asap with some before and after shots. FYI, I got the 100w/55w ultra bulbs.

edit. Actually, I take that back... I just looked at mine again and they're HL-109's but they have an SM designation which says "*Sheet metal. Even though they have the same number as the ones in the first post, mine have a different lens on them. My lens is almost completely smooth. Interesting. We'll see how they do.

Here's what I got too. They're designated "Crystal Multi" instead of the regular lights. I hope I didn't screw anyone up by posting the link to that...

If I did, I apologize in advance...





I didn't catch the Crystal Multi thing at all.
