2018 OEM headlights are terrible

are there any easy 'plug and play' upgrades to improve the amount of light provided?

Thanks

 

Replaced mine with OEM LED and iHacker harness. Been great so far

Can you give me a bit more details?

Where did you get the harness? Part number?

Did you get the bulbs from a dealership? Part number?

Was easy, intuitive to do the upgrade?

Looks like the grill has to come off?

Thanks

 

I’m assuming you have the halogen headlights and not the LED headlights from the higher end trims?

Welcome from NY.
Where are you located? A friend of mine has a pair of LED headlights that he might be selling if he doesn't keep the Tundra.

 

St Louis Mo

 

I assume so, They are the original headlights from the factory.

 

Grill comes off real easy, YouTube certified me on that one. LOL
I think the way to tell if you have halogens is by the DRL.
Led has full surround DRL and halogen only has it on the bottom.
I could be mistaken.

 

What trim level is your truck? SR5, Limited, platinum, 1794…..

 

Think shipping would be $$$$, 2 big boxes.

 

I have a SR5

 

Have a 2016 Platinum and swapped to 2019 TRD Pro LEDs. Search @iHacker and you will find the install thread and description of the part you need(harness is plug and play).

Youtube is a best friend for grill removal. Whole process maybe took me an hour(mainly because I obliterated my fender and had to mash it back to get the headlight to seat).

 

Form seems to be a solution: https://www.formlights.com/2014-2021-toyota-tundra-led-reflector-headlights-pair.html

Does anyone have any experience?

 

That's more then most of us spent to get the Pro headlights even with the added cost of the iHacker harness.

@memario1214 sells Form products and can likely get you a better price than what is shown in that link. @TRDFerguson has some Form headlights but not sure which ones he has.

 

2017 here.
another vote for OEM LED lights and @iHacker harness. couldn't be happier!

 

Do you have a good source for OEM headlights?

 

Any of the Toyota parts websites, they often run 20-25% discounts and you can also catch free shipping too. Fred Anderson is the one I've used lately but sometimes toyotapartsdeal.com gets you a better price. Basically Google to part number you want and check a few authorized toyota dealerships until you find one with a price you like.

 

Does anyone know about Perde? Here is a conversation kit:

Never hear of them.

 

You have been given the answer multiple times in this thread. Why are you not taking the advice?

 

OEM and I hacker. Catch the lights on sale, you will not be disappointed. Another vote for Fred Anderson.

 

Because the cheapest I can find OEM lights are about $310 each [I've searched and cannot find any on sale] then add the harness and it is ~ $750. The kits are $500 and $630. If they are as good [which I don't know] they are less expensive.

If they were all the same price, I'd love to get the iHacker harness.

 

If you’re trying to save some money I recommend you log out and never come back.










And OEMs with @iHacker is the right answer - buy once, cry once.

 

He’s going to take that wrong. I guarantee it.

 

Something something not even a third gen.

 

You're talking about saving $100-150 on one of the most critical systems on the truck. I guarantee you the non-OEM lights will disappoint you in some way. They will not match the performance, they will crack, fade, leak or otherwise not be built to the standard that the OEM light is. I'm pretty "thrifty". This is not one of the things I would try to cheat the system and save a few bucks cause I know better than literally everyone else that I asked. The thing about seeking wise council is, you have to be wise enough to take the advice. Good luck with you lighting adventure, choose wisely!

 

Check out Philips LED, they're a great direct replacement.

 

Another happy customer of TRD LED's and iHacker harness.

Lemme make it easy for yooz.
