Need recommendation for good HID/HIR or LED headlight system

[benztech82]

Chinese led bulbs have a shade line just like regular bulbs now. I have it in my truck. Brand is Partol. Look for it on AliExpress.

Actually, you don't have to upgrade your headlight housing if you go with the 9006 Xtreme Pro LED Kit! What's great about the Xtreme LED Pro kit is that the bulbs have been designed to match the filaments of a halogen bulb to give you the same beam pattern as your factory headlights.



Here's a great example of that.

So would those LED’s be plug-n-play?

Yes, the Xtreme LED Pro kits are designed to be plug n play. You can view this 2017 Toyota 4Runner LED Headlight Installation guide for more info.

I currently have morimoto/TRS HID lowbeams in my runner. I am on my second igniter and ballast in 8 months for the passenger side headlight. The first time i replaced it was because the low beam would intermittently not ignite and i wouldnt realize this which eventually led to me getting pulled over. I chalked this issue up to living in maine and my car spending equal time in and out of a garage every day so i figured some moisture got into the wiring from the repeated and rapid temp changes. Now my second set that was replaced in january is flickering and the bulb doesnt warm up all the way.
At this point I think that I am done with the morimoto/TRS brand as they used to be good but as of late the QC seems to be in the dumps. My brother is also using them and has been having frequent issues with igniting and flickering.

SO can anybody recommend a brand for HID, HIR, or LED headlight systems that has been problem free so far?

Make sure you check the relays in the harness. I've had my Morimoto kit for over three years and that has been the only issue. One side starting failing intermittently or wouldn't turn on at all and that was the problem. If you swap the plugs on the relays and the problem moves to the other headlight, it's not the ballast or ignitor.

I am a year and a half in on my HID kit. 29.99 on amazon without any issues!

I do have LED's in my wife's car because it does not have the projector style headlights and it doesn't throw up glare like a hid kit would. They are a little brighter but I much prefer HID's.

My experience has been that higher priced/name brand does not mean it will last in the world of hid kits. I always have the best luck with the cheap ones and it doesn't hurt if it stops working after a year.

I have been running XenonDepot HID 6000k (low beams) & 3000k (fogs) for about 7 years. Have never had any issues.

My 2008 is almost identical. In 2012 I installed SharpHID in similar configuration. No failures at 35w and the low beam at 4500k which I like.
