    Same body style. Should not make a difference unless you have the plat with the led outlining lights

    They will fit. Output not any better than stock bUT an inexpensive option to increase it is in the works for me. They should show up in the next few days or so. They look good and I'm not unhappy with them as is even if didn't order more powerful HIDs. There are a lot of guys that just plug and play but some of us made the factory levelers work....

    So if I don't care about the factory level adjustment, I can just plug and play these? I noticed a note at the bottom of the product page stating they dont working with the leveling models. Guess that means they fit, they just wont level.

    Thanks!

    These are plug n play. I think I've seen someone transfer the leveling motors to the spyders but if not you can still manually adjust these at the headlight.

    I replaced the bulbs with some LEDs and love them

    Spoke with Spyder late yesterday. They said that these headlights are NOT compatible with the 2017 tundra, and it is not recommended.

    Here is the specific statement:
    "Unfortunately we have not test fitted the 2017 model at this time so we
    can't confirm its fitment and compatibility."

    No changes in body style '14 - '17 so these should fit. Sounds like spyder just hasn't confirmed it on their end yet just to make sure they dont false advertise.

    If anything you could order them from a site that states they work for the '17s and if for some reason they aren't compatible you should be able to get your money back

    When do the DRLs come on? With parking lights on? With all lights switched off? With headlights on?

    They fit and the leveling motors work in them. I have it set up that way. Don't believe SPYDER. Trust

    After reading mixed reviews, I never bought them. Didn't want to chance it, maybe someone else can share their experience. Thanks

    I'm on the fence as well.

    They seem too inexpensive to be of high quality. Normally good lights cost a pretty penny. You get what you pay for with lighting.

    I've also read that output is on par with stock. I'm looking for something that blows the stock lights away, but still has a sharp low beam cutoff.
