I would guess it is individually based on how your lights were adjusted before changing over. In my case, I did not have to make any adjustments.

“I bought this back-up bulb and have been disappointed in it: Philips 12789LPB2. Likewise it is supposed to be 6000k LED. It simply does not project very far and I back into my driveway and then the garage. There are no street lights on my street and my driveway is fairly long, 100ft. Often I have to get out and turn on the eve lights and garage lights to back it in.”

I’m excited to try these H11 GTR lighting ultra 2.0’s, I should have them installed by tomorrow. I’ll be upgrading from the GTR Gen 3 ultra series which were great but starting to get outdated.

GTR Lighting Ultra 2.0 low beams
Got the lights installed today and was able to run them last night, holy crap they’re super bright!!! I would say about twice as bright as the last GTR series

Just going to add my two cents to the mix... These are alright. I agree they are an upgrade over stock halogen. But not as good as even plug and play HID kit Of decent quality. But for the price and convenience it’s an upgrade. Just surprised how blown away everyone as it is.

Good LED's match HID's
Have had 4 sets of HID's in my camry and 4runner(2 each). Recently picked up about 8 sets of LED's and 3 of the 8 matched or exceeded the HID's. The Katana 12K lumen ended up being the best, followed by their 10K. 3rd set were simdevanna?

Okay I will, how much are they?
They're $25 and require 5 minutes to install. And they make my stock 2005 headlights look like I forgot to turn them on.
OK, so I may be a dullard, but I am not lazy. I have read through pages and pages of posts regarding plug and play LEDs for my T4R 2008 SR5. My OE lamps are just inadequate for my old eyes. Could someone summarize the types/sizes of LEDs for my vehicle. My priorities are: low beam, high beam, back-ups. Also interested in fogs and turn lights, but secondarily. If someone could do me the kindness of a brief summary I would be most appreciative.

I swapped all of the lighting in my 4r to 5000k led using vleds.com. Night and day difference and 3 year warranty with solid customer service. They are a little pricier than the cheaper amazon vendors but stand behind their product. Also enjoy all of the bulbs having matching colors

LED turn signal bulbs?
Hello all,
I have a 2006 4Runner, and I have tried a few different types of LED bulbs for the front turn signals. Unfortunately, none of them have panned out. Even the ones that are advertised as "anti hyper flash, built in resistor, blah, blah, blah." I tried the relay install, and I tried other types, but I have not had any luck as they all hyper flashed. Any suggestions?
I thought I could install the switchback DRLs, but there are two separate bulbs; one for the turn signal, and one that I assume is the daytime light, and it is size 168, too small for the switchbacks I bought.

now first things first, is your truck equipped with the drl?
if your truck did not have drl, the flasher relay is behind the inside fuse box, also its 8 pin.
if your truck has drl, you will need to take the flasher relay apart and shave the metal link, there was a tutorial, only take a little bit off at a time.

I will admit, I am confused....
I read and re-read what RICEANDPHO replied with, and I read the information in the following link.
As mentioned, on my 2006 4Runner, on the front, there is a small bulb (size 168) that is continuously on while the vehicle is running. And, above, just to the right of the small bulb is the turn signal bulb (1156).
Are you saying that I can "shave" part of a fuse and then the turn signal would become the DRL and should only flash if the turn signal were on? And, the small (168) bulb would be disabled?

On my car, the 1156 is always running if the truck is started. The little parking light is a just a parking light.

I just upgraded to the Auxbeam led hi and lows based on OP's suggestion. They were $25.32 for a pair of lows and $25.32 for the highs. Installed on Sunday so limited use. I like the upgrade.........but not as much as I thought I would. The light from the leds doesn't seem as crisp to my eye. Maybe I just need to get used to them. The high-beams are certainly brighter. I also purchased the the led for the drl/turn signals. I have not installed yet.
Thanks to formidable for the info.

So, I am replacing my forward bulbs with Xtreme LED Pro units. The H11 low beam units installed fairly easily. However the high beam 9005s will not twist into place. It seems that the three tabs are too thick to twist into the slots. I have pressed forward as hard as I can. What am I missing? Do the tabs need to be modified? Any suggestions appreciated!

I've run into this before - quick fix: check the thickness of the rubber gasket on the new bulbs compared the old ones. If the old ones are noticeably thinner I'd swap them and see if that helps.
