LED headlight replacement bulbs
Been searching for days here and can’t find answer. Pretty much the retrofit threads come up but I don’t have interest in doing that. Really just want a plug and play That will be brighter/whiter. I have a 2019 Subaru with LED projectors and love the white light and their visibility. Night and day over my 4Runner.
Can anyone recommend some LED’s that will be a PnP and last? I’d like to replace both dims and brights, possibly fogs. I have a 2008 SR5 with projectors, they’re decent for stock but just so darned yellow. |
Retrofit or try H9 halogens.
Diode Dynamics H11 SL1s might work if you’re dead set on LEDs. |

I put the Fahren LEDs on my 4th gen and couldn't be happier. Seems like they reach further and wider, and everything is brighter without blinding oncoming traffic. On Amazon they're about $30, plug and play.

I bought Xenon Depot LED low beam and fog lights from Headlight Revolution for my 2007. The fogs were the CMB plug and play and the low beams are the xtreme LED with the fan-like heatsink and wiring harness. I'm a little wary of simple plug n play LED bulbs for the low and high beams because of heat dissipation and light output which is why I went with the Xenon Depot xtreme LEDs. For the fogs and interior lights, sure, I'm not worried about throwing an LED bulb in there since I don't use them often and don't rely on them when driving.

I have a little bit of an issue with the pattern it puts out but overall I am pretty happy with them. They are WAY brighter than stock. |
I ran morimoto 2.0 2 strokes led for a while before I switched over to a projector retrofit. It's decent with our halogen projectors for what it is. My only negative I would say about em is that you could hear the fan humming at a stop light if you had your radio off.

I recommend the GTR Ultra 2...a little on the expensive side, but on my wife's '16 CRV with projects...they are fantastic...nice white light with original cutoff and in her car, barely hear any fan noise...hear nothing with engine running. Had them since Christmas time, so far, they've been great.

DD SL1s are a decent compromise since they are very thin and mimic halogens as best as we can manage at the moment. Not all plug-and-play LEDs are created with this in mind. |

I doubt I would have needed all that to get a warranty replacement, but it sure did make the whole experience super easy. The only odd request was for me to cut the wires off the bad headlight and send a photo of that. I guess it's so they can verify that you aren't trying to scam them out of multiple sets of headlights. The lights are so good that I ordered a set for my wife's '14 outback that didn't come with LEDs from factory. |

I bought the Arcani headlights to replace my yellowed OEM and am running those now, I assume they’re the same kind of projectors? Amazon.com: ACANII - For 2006-2009 Toyota 4Runner 4 Runner Projector Headlights lamp Driver + Passenger Side 06-09: Automotive So after so many years later, are the HID’s really that superior still? I’ll have to re-evaluate things then. Is it pretty normal for replacement headlight bulbs to last a year or much less? Seems like the LED’s are hit or miss for durability from what I’m reading now. Just tonight I saw 2 different vehicles that were LED headlights and were flickering on and off. Plus I think the fan humming would annoy me, my Subie doesn’t do that or have fans that hum. Any other bulbs then that will last and be a brighter/whiter light? I read bad things about the Silverstars and that they don’t last. I appreciate everybody’s response and experiences with theirs. |

I got some Anzo brand replacements that have held up ok. The clear on those is peeling already though. |
Lightbulbs and PnP
For lightbulbs I've been shopping here.
Lighting products for the Toyota 4Runner 2003 - 2009 For Headlight housings for 2003-2005 I browse here. They also sell H11 LED's but I have not tried them out. HID Projector Headlights - Color Shift Headlights - Retrofit Kit I bought the burtman industries blacked out reflector headlights (2005) but I'm still deployed and I have not installed them yet. Will let you know how they turn out. |
