These look really good! I messaged them as well to see what the wait time is. If you have yellowing on your head lights you can always wet sand them down depending on how bad they are, message me if you have any question on that for you people waiting on these new headlights.

When they do arrive I believe I'm going to just use the halogen bulbs they come with. I simply wanted a better looking headlight and don't need extra light for the driving I do.
I'm just using the halogen bulbs. I'm not sure if this is normal with projector headlights (these are my first), but it definitely has a very sharp cutoff line. It takes some getting used to.

I realize it's only been a short time, but do you still like the headlights? Any issues to report?

So far so good. They are holding up well, no issues. It's just taking some getting used to the cutoff line for the projectors. I had to adjust them a few times to get them just right.

I got an updated ETA of 11/6 at the end of October. I know things are backed up all over and I don’t want to harass these guys so I figured I’d ask here to get an idea of where we’re at. Thanks!
Funny you ask, I just came across this thread yesterday and reached out to Spyder Auto (emails provided in this thread) and Robert got back to me right away, confirming that the black housing lights are currently in stock, and if I order today, they'll ship on Friday. Hopefully that's some good news for you!

I'm going to hold off until I see a few more photos and reviews. They're so elusive online, no photos other than this thread. (Although I bought my black housing taillight under a similar vague purchase and they have been awesome for years now!)

I reserved a set back on 10/19. I hadn't heard anything and emailed Robert yesterday. He confirmed they received more of the black headlights on 11/14 and that they were in the process of allocating them. He also said I'd receive an email with a tracking number went they were on the way. Good to hear they will most likely ship out this Friday, I've been waiting for a month.

I will post pictures and give my opinion when I receive my set.

I would love these if the white solid part was amber instead. Glad to see a vendor make 2010-2013 specific parts.

I got a tracking number for my set and they should arrive by Tuesday at the latest. I probably will not put them on until after the holiday, but at least they're on the way.

I placed my order around the same time you did and i received an email with my tracking number yesterday, so if you havent received yours yet im sure you will very soon, hopefully!
Also fortunately I live only a couple hours away from where they ship so im supposed to be receiving mine today, im planning on installing mine over the weekend and will report back with pictures once i get them installed.

So i got the headlights installed over the weekend with the help of @drewsro
And here is what it looks like on a black 4runner
In my personal opinion i think it makes the front end look a lot more modern. like drewsro mentioned before the low beam has a very sharp cutoff line that takes some getting used other than that i like them a lot.

Looks good! That's the same thing my friend was telling me, he thinks it makes the 4Runner look more modern.

Agreed, but from the photos posted so far, they look really cool! I'm a bit more concerned about build quality and any potential issues (like fogging).

I HID retrofitted the OEM headlights, and the look has just never grown on me, albeit the light output is undeniably better. I WISH someone made an updated housing for the lower DRL/parking lights next to the fogs.

I'm worried the these update headlights will only draw more attention to those outdated looking DRL lights now!
