    Good morning folks!

    Hopefully you guys with experience in retrofits and overall lighting knowledge could answer a couple of questions and give me your opinion.

    I've got a 2013 tundra and recently bought brand new Spyder headlights. I did this because my stock lights are now to faded to look good with a retrofit. The Spyder were sold to me for way less than I could have bought stock housings for. The fine gentleman on our forum ( SCtundra215 ) who sold me the lights also included led lights and I do plan on trying these before I install the morimoto hids. They may be bright enough. But of course, I went down the rabbit hole with reading every thread I could find on these lights.

    Anyway, I bought the morimoto 35w hid kit for them. What I found later is the new acme quick fit bowls.

    Is it worth opening these lights up to put new projector bowls in these lights? Looks like they are pretty inexpensive and bolt in, but I'm nervous about ruining the lights and don't want to do anything unnecessary.

    I think anything will be better than the pitiful light coming from my current headlights.

    Also, for the side marker lights, should I buy leds or just use the ones out of my stock lights. Will LEDs do anything weird to my electrical system? I tried putting led lights in my taillights one time and they burned out and blew a fuse.

    If you have any suggestions, I will appreciate it!
