2014 headlight upgrade -Any black Friday deals?

IMO... I'd recommend going with either the OEM LED/Bi-LED housings, or the Morimoto Gen2 housings. These seem to be the two best options on the market right now for improved light output. Both the OEM and Morimoto projectors have their hotspot up high right by the cutoff which will help direct light output down the road instead of scattering it right in front of the vehicle.

FWIW, I have personal experience with both and at the end of the day I ended up going with the Morimotos. The crisp sharp cutoff, no dead spots and better light output won me over. Also nice to change it up from the chrome housings.

Having said that, you can find a set of the OEM LED housings for significantly cheaper! These are a much better bang for your buck. Light output is great, and the slightly warmer color could be easier on the eyes. I preferred the sharper cutoff, but a lot of ppl also like the softer cutoff of the OEM housings that allow for a little light bleed, which can help illuminate street signs and such better.
 
oh yeah..if any of you missed it.

4runnerlifestyle has a bunch of sales on headlights for black friday.

You have never presented any data in any of your posts.

Never posted data? How about what's contained in these posts - which I have linked before. Ah, but you don't believe anything crash writes. Oh well.

As for "bashing anything made in China," I have plenty of high-quality Chinese made stuff in my house and vehicles and I have no problem with it. The Chinese made aftermarket headlights I have (serious) issues with though.

There's enough data in the posts above to keep you busy for a few weeks - if you actually read them - and I know you won't. If you did, you'd find that the Lighting forum at TW is quite active and visited regularly by folks who really know what they're talking about. Poke around in the LED Fog Pod post and you'll see many posts by the Lead Engineer from Morimoto and the gentleman who runs Diode Dynamics. But they don't know what they're talking about, right?

Believe it or not, I actually enjoy debating with people like you who don't have the slightest understanding of manufacturing, engineering, design, scientific method and the way the world works - but only for short periods of time. Then I get bored. And so, I must end this debate. Have a nice weekend.

Have you checked the seals around the bulbs for leaks?

Like others have said the aftermarket housings are cheap. The lenses will yellow and craze in just a couple years. There are some Taiwanese manufacturers that are decent.

Thanks for the suggestion but the damage has already been done, if that is where the moisture entered.
 
I know the information is on here, but if someone can save me from searching, I would greatly appreciate it! To upgrade my 2014, I see there is a harness available to make this an easier upgrade. When searching for headlights, I see there are full LED and also LED low beams with halogen high beam. Which headlight do I need? I do not have automatic headlights.

again, you don't have any idea what you are talking bout other then rehashing other people's posts on TW as your own and as gospel.

Keep on hating and since you keep coming back to spew your nonsense.. Your name must be felicia?
