You can/should actually delete the images.....

And you can also do "multiple quote", no need to respond one post at a time and quote every image & post.

How to debadge? Dental Floss.

I do not have the chrome tip.

The tire may say 44 psi, that is the maximum amount of air pressure the tire can hold. That is not the correct tire pressure to run based on your vehicle weight. The correct pressure is listed on the driver's door of your vehicle, not on the sidewall of the tire. Please refer to your driver's door placard on your vehicle or vehicle manual for the recommended pressure. Proper air pressure is based on the weight of your vehicle and is determined by the vehicle manufacturer, not the brand or type of tire you have. Also, never exceed the max air pressure as listed on the sidewall of the tire. Most 2014 Toyota 4Runner models require 32 psi however, if you have TRD off-road package your air pressure is different and you will have to refer to the placard. "
The driver's door of your vehicle is based on P(essenger) tires. These are LT(Light Truck) tires. They go on completely different system. Do your research. If I am running Pxxxx tires, I will go with the door's listing. If I am running LTxxxx tires, I will go with what's the according/appropriate weight for LT tires to match with 32psi of P tires, which is 44psi. 44psi for LT tires is equivalent to 32psi of P tires.

Does the one you went with last longer because it's attached to the battery? What's the main difference?

How do the HID capsules perform in OEM reflector housings?
I ended up with XenonDepot, Philips 4300K bulbs. They are the OEM bulb for other vehicles which come with OEM HID lamps. Philips 4300K IS the industry OEM HID. I like that color (with about 100hrs of usage, it will be shifted to around 4700K). Only XenonDepot has that option (premium option, +$50), no one else do, not TRS, not XS, not many others. Everything else I had seen, screams aftermarket, most of the time, too "blue", IMO.

HID bulb in OEM reflector works, IMO. It's not any brighter than any other OEM HID vehicles.

I tried to sit in my "low" carrera, with the 4Runner (with HID in OEM projector) and my X5 (with OEM HID) side-by-side, they look virtually the same..... when I am head on with them or when they are behind me.
