I believe you misunderstood what I was saying.Toyota and their partners (Koito projectors?) designed the headlights to have a specific, measured amount of light above the cutoff. Anything more than intended by the manufacturer is glare (and is probably too much for the other drivers, regardless of whether or not you think it's a big deal on your garage door or wall). So no, they are not supposed to glare. Sorry.
Sad to see that it is almost the de facto standard to put PNP kits on these.
Can anyone clue me in on how these HID upgrade kits work with the daytime running lights? Does everything function as normal? Do you have to disable the DRLs (and if so, how)?
the DRLs in my 2015 are via my high beams. putting HIDs in my low beams has no effects on my DRLs and vice-versa. I used upgraded halogens for my high beams because they are not projectors.

Ah of course :doh:. I just assumed the DRL used the low-beams but you're definitely right.
Thanks . Tapatalk works great on Tacoma world so I figured I was coming up dry. I'll jump on my computer when I get homeLooks like you are using tapatalk which the search is TERRIBLE. I'm posting below to help, but please don't take it harshly, just the only real way to search. To person slamming the guy, man lighten up...
So, what is the best way to search the forum to find what you need fast?
Step 1. Go to google
Step 2. Type "5th Gen 4Runner" and then your question.
That's all! Make sure you put the 5th Gen 4Runner first to narrow the question down to this model. You will be brought to this forum with all the relevant threads shown.

I didn't know you were trying to use Tapatalk to search, and I see your issue there. I use Tapatalk, too, and I agree that there is plenty of room for improvement. I can't tell you why there are a ton of results (from a search within the 5th Gen forum) when you search "headlights" or "HID headlights" but nothing for "HID". It's probably searching the thread title and not the content. For that misunderstanding, I apologize.
I'm not a keyboard warrior, nor am I being a dick. I posted not one but two different links that both contain specific instructions on how to do the HID install. They have detailed instructions as well as a ton of pictures, so I have no idea why you're saying they contain "barely any info". I just navigated to the threads (MTN4RNR) from within Tapatalk and the instructions and pictures are super clear.
