Need new headlights.

OEM? Or upgrade? Seeing some options on Carid.com.

Seeking input from the collective.

The whole assembly, or just bulbs?

I still have OEM housings, but replaced the bulbs with brighter ones (Philips?).

Short answer:
Keeping your halogen headlight assemblies?
  1. Halogen - Philips H9
  2. HID - don't
  3. LED - don't

Upgrade the housings?
  1. OEM for best performance and reliability - 2021 LED units (recommend non-Pro/Limited)
  2. Morimoto XB - proper optics and DOT compliance but middling performance
  3. AlphaRex - just no, these are terrible re-branded Chinesium junk
  4. Got $$$? - go for a custom retrofit by BX, Kustom54, or other reputable shop.

Why do you need them? If clouded they are easy to bring back to new with some elbow grease.

In that case I'd pull some from a yard.

I just purchased these from carid and won’t get them until May but like their simple look with good DRL.

Spyder(R) - Toyota 4Runner 2006 Black LED DRL Bar Projector Headlights

The custom retrofits are interesting, but i didn’t want anything too fancy and the price point is more than I am willing to pay for headlights honestly. Worst case, I put the old OEM ones back in.
