what is good quality LED low beam purchase? 2016 trail H11 style

[rockwind1]

I actually just got my Hikari’s and I looked at them and I did not see any way to adjust them, not that it matters, see my post above

well, just an update,, the Hikaris that I ordered,,,, DO NOT FIT THE LOW BEAM PROJECTOR HOUSING. despite amazon's fitment thing saying they do. just an FYI for anyone else who has a 2016 4runner trail version. the large part of the bulb housing,, where it mushrooms out to have the little fan,,, totally hits the part of the projector housing,,, no way to get the h11 lugs into the slots,,,it needs about 5mm more clearance,,,no way to shave housing either as it is super thin plasticy material.

they would appear to fit highbeams,,,EXCEPT I NEED THEM FOR LOWBEAMS. GEEEZ,, what a hassle. now i have to do the whole amazon return schlep. left negative review.

I bought the same white box, upper model Hikari LED bulbs. They fit my housing fine. They are also adjustable.

Im not gonna be the guy to tell you to search. I tried five or six different LED drop in units, everything from cheapo Amazon bulbs to some expensive stuff like Morimoto...and I ,honestly, wasn't happy with any of them. Instead, I went with the Phillips 4300k HID kit and love it. With that being said, I have a set of H9s in the glove box for back ups.

I would recommend an HID kit from Retrofit Source or doing the H9 conversion.

we must have different headlight housings or your bulbs are different somehow cause the ones i got hit that bulge that is right over the top of the hole with the 3 lug pattern, where the low beams are

i guess it is not unheard of for amazon to send wrong item

This member speaks the truth.

OP, sounds like you are against the H9 upgrade. But are you against drop in HIDs? Shameless plug, but make me an offer on my HID set with modified housing caps? The difference between drop-in LED and HID in these trucks are night and day.

I still do recommend H9 above all though.

Better lighting on 2016 Trail Premium

As we all know the low beams on the 2016 Trail are poor and after living with the stock bulbs for over a year and having read many of the suggestions for "upgrades" I did the Phillips H11 to H9 bulb change. It was ok but not as good as I had hoped but I lived with it. Two years ago I changed out the stock fog lights for Diode Dynamic Fogs in Amber and was very pleased with the outcome.It made night driving safe again!
Anyway long story shorter this week I swapped out the Philips bulbs (low beams) as I still wanted better light and did not want to go LED or HID. I used Sylvania H11 Silver Star ZXe halogen which is compatible and is "plug n play".The beam has a longer "throw" and gives a much better light than the Phillips I had --in my opinion.
So now I can drive comfortably and safely at night and if needed I can also utilize the DD fogs . Sorry for the "long winded" post--I post rarely!
