If you had to replace the bulbs in it, is it easy to do so? Would you guys mind taking a picture of the rear of the head lamp while it's installed on your Runner?

You can't replace the bulb in the nova; its a complete housing.

They look great. Glad to hear the install is easy.

Take a few pics of the beam pattern, will ya? That’s one of the things we still don’t have great shots of yet.

How many years will the bulbs last? are we going to end up spending 1800$ every 3-5 years?

I think its pretty clear at this point that these headlights as well as other aftermarket headlights are pretty subpar when it comes to actual lighting performance. So if you want a clean looking rig for your Instagram content this ones for you.

For those looking for real lighting performance a high quality HID projector retrofitted into your existing OEM headlight housing is the ticket. Or if you're lazy an HID bulb plugged into your OEM halogen projectors will provide better results.
