Headlight comparison stock vs others

[ForRun]

Added 21 oem led to the mix. If blackout look matters bake them open or get the Kustom54s. If chrome does not matter keep the 21 led's. Just as good as Bi-Led and leap years ahead of alpharex or the Morimoto - Pics don't lie, look at post 1
Only down side is the upper left dark spot so many mentioned. I got over it.

This is definitely my best lighting setup to date as well. Are you running the 2021 led fogs as well? And don't forget the OEM reliability factor...

I have a set that is plug n play for '20 and earlier models with the LED fogs. PM if interested.

[DannyLlama]

This is a great write-up and comparison. In your opinion what is the best option?

My $0.03 (adjustment for inflation): I replaced both the low and high beams on my 19 with Hikari LEDs from Bezos' bazaar. Didn't adjust anything, although the truck sits 1.5 inches higher. A little over $200 IIRC, and the low bulbs were a b!tch to install. I now have more light/lumen/candela/lux/whatever then the stock lights ever did. AND NO ONE EVER FLASHED ME after driving five nights a week for 5 months. To me, my headlights are about the same as the stock ones from a 21 Highlander. The Hikari LEDs are the best bang for the buck IMHO. We'll see how long they last.

I have a 21 with OEM LEDs. The blurry cutoff (from new) and L shaped clips interfering with the clean cutoff are annoying. Would not recommend.

I understand what the driver’s side step-down is for the oncoming lane. But in ADDITION to the expected drop, mid-beam, there is another artifact that looks like a shadow of a clip right at the cutoff, as well.

I know it’s not always possible but aftermarket housings have proven it is… I want a FOCUSED, sharp cutoff.

Uh oh, don't get them started on drop in LED bulbs actually being an upgrade here. They won't be able to mentally recover for a week.

I was very hesitant at first, but, after reading how Hikari was the #1 choice on Tacomaworld, I decided to give them a chance. Works great, didn't cost a lot, and I haven't been flashed once. I thought about a complete replacement, but the aftermarket got mixed to low reviews, and nobody has a conversion for the 2022 unit (my first choice).

This is a really great resource. This really has helped me in my journey as I contemplate upgrading the headlights on my 2020 4Runner. I'm a little disappointed with the factory H11 bulbs. I upgeaded to H9 bulbs, and while better, I have been considering OEM LED assemblies.

I was comparing Lasfit H11 LED bulbs vs 2021 OEM LED and I'm impressed how good the Lasfit are.

Sweet. Appreciate the comparison.

 

[Steve40th396]

This thread convinced me to get the Lasfits low beams for my 2019. Huge difference.. They really show their stuff when out in the sticks where no street lights are. OM I had to squint, as I am 55 years old, even with Rx glasses on at night.
I may do their High Beams.
