On 2nd image the glare looks horrible on the right side coming from pine trees. Did Iphone overexposed the picture or is it that way in real life?

Judging by pictures these are going to majorly suck driving in the rain and especially in snow. Not going to be a pleasant experience as this color range is going to hurt your eyes because of light reflection from the elements is going to be a pain. I cant imagine looking at this bright light...

I didn't noticed that the truck is under powered in the mountains. We must drive a different vehicle. Sure, it's not that great at low RPM's on overpasses, but all you have to do is put that gas pedal down and it moves with a bit of engine noise :) I took it up to 8K feet about 5 times since I...

There's something special about our roads. I'm in Utah and I have never had a set last me more than 25K. That is true for 3 different vehicles and different tire manufacturers. Just replaced tires that were rated for 50K on my wife's car. She's a very gentle driver, so it's not just me.

Just send them back. They are not designed to work properly in projector housing. This is because they are not focusing the light where it's needed and scatter it allover the place. Besides LED's in 5000+ color and not really great in the rain and snow as in that spectrum your eyes will perceive...

Just do low beam conversion to H9 bulb. It will give you adequate light. Yes, the stock low beam is not great, I couldn't believe how bad it was when I first drove the truck on the overcast night in the boonies. After going H9 it's much better. I also changed the high beams to 9011b bulb and now...

That's what I get with same type of driving. 15.5 with a quick warm-up and some 4x4 action. I use 85 ;)

85 because of altitude.

I just did the low beam with h9 and high beams with h11. Took 20 minutes. Driver side low beam is a bit of a pain because of the battery but manageable without removing it. I did notice that my left high beam light is a bit loose in the socket after conversion. I might add some shim's like tape...

With that set up my recliner chair won't fit in ;)

Where do you keep all this stuff? There's almost no compartment space in this truck. I'm new to it but all i found so far is glove box, center storage and some weird storage on the right side by the tailgate. I'm coming from 2003 Pilot and it had a nice compartment that was inside the bed in...

This is exactly the issue that is preventing me from trying LED's. And also a potential problem with them not heating the front lens enough to prevent icy film and wet snow build up. I do drive 5 month out of the year in winter conditions. The thing is that even if the LED's do project more...

It's a potential problem. I'm in Northern Utah and visit high altitudes like ski resorts frequently. I don't have experience with LED's on my vehicles and wanted to know opinions of people that run them in winter. I know that the halogen lenses are warm to the touch and that melts the snow and...

How will these fare in winter? From my research it seems LED's do not heat outside lens enough to melt the snow and ice resulting in pulling over and cleaning the headlights frequently. Something I would want to avoid doing during a snow storm. Is there a mechanism built in to remedy this issue?

Let us know if you get these. Because casting is a weakness of LED's, I wonder how the GTR2's performs at the distance in a Toyota projector. "LED fails (in nearly all cases) at reproducing the same light source characteristics that they replace. In some lamps, they come close but its not...
