Hey, thanks for this link. That guy on tacomaworld is an amazing wealth of information. I hope everyone reads his posts and understands why LED replacements in halogen headlight housings do not work properly and never will. As you said, the halogen H9 upgrade for low beams is a great bang for the buck. I also did the high beam 9011 conversion. I’m very pleased with the results.
The most useful directions I found are in this link, posts 122 & 123.
