    Hey Everyone. New to the Forum here and new to the tundra modification game.

    Looking to upgrade my factory (never replaced) headlights & taillights in my 2016 Tundra.

    I want to go with black housing and smoked lens' but want to make sure the lights can be seen at 500ft as that's the law here in Iowa.

    This truck is not going to be used for Off-road.

    Honestly, not sure what way to go with either Projector or reflector lights and LEDs vs HIDs...I just know I dont want to go with Halo's.

    Not looking to break the bank on these either...$300 or less for the headlights and same for the taillights if possible.

    If you have any suggestions, links or pictures, that would be great!!

    Thank you all in advance for all the help and guidance!!

    decent lights will cost more than $300 total. Best choice for headlights is to install the factory LED lights ($290 each) and you will need the @iHacker harness, which runs about $100. sparksparts.com for the factory lights. Hit the link for "popular tundra upgrades".

    Cant help on tail lights, but use the search function in upper rights, lots of threads about headlight and taillight upgrades. Also look thru the posts in the lighting forum.
