These are redesigned Oem Toyota led projectors that comes from Toyota........
But yes, in my opinion, these are superior to drop hids into our halogen headlights. I am sorry if the hid lovers get salty but that’s just my opinion.

As someone who has done proper HID retrofits in the past with specific HID projectors, clear lenses and modified reflector bowls im not going to argue that dropping in HID bulbs in halogen projectors is ideal. I also have a set of OEM adaptive LED headlights in my other vehicle and they are absolutely fantastic. So I'm far from an HID fanboi.
What I'm saying is that Toyota's execution with these headlights is almost laughable. Shoe horning a single LED projector in the existing housing isn't going to net good performance. The light output shots we've seen thus far are proof of that.
