Wow thats nice. Now I have another one to to decide from. Where did you get them from? Do you have any part numbers? I did a search but came up empty.

Edit: i found their main sight. It appears you can only purchase from them.

Mine showed up today.. Exactly as advertised.

Waiting for it to warm up some then I intend to install. Luckily I am off work today after a 14 hour day yesterday plowing snow at work. Come on 53 degree Colorado weather.

Well I ordered as well. I bought the DOT versions and got a pair of blue and a pair of white......both the 100/90. I'll try both and see which i prefer and use the other pair as reverse lights to help see through the window tint.

Should be here tomorrow....

I got a message from my tracking before mine got here saying they were delayed by a snow storm.

I got mine a little while ago, haven't installed them yet. I am kinda mad because the metal reflector inside the housing, that covers the bulb, was loose and wiggled in the housing. I ended up just taking it out of both units. How will that effect the light spread?

the little umbrella thing is what directs more than 50% of the light from the bulb towards the reflector which points all of the light in a evenly spread consistent direction. Because the lense is designed to work with the even light, not having the umbrealla will probably severly compromise the performance of the lights.

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.

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.

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

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.

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?

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.

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.

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...
