    Why the pros instead of Spyders covered to HID?
    How's your alignment?

    you have a lift right? hows it drive and what are the alignment numbers?

    unless the PRO headlights come with projectors, I wouldn't bother. For that money you could get a solid retrofit/ better headlights. But if you're dead set on it, I'd go UCA's first. I'm a function before form kind of guy.

    I agree, more for function over looks, I'm sure your headlights work and you don't need the pro ones it's the same as a regular stock tundra headlight just blacked out. if you have a lift get UCA's to fix alignment issues and ride better, slap some good coilovers on it and you have a mid travel setup

    Without proper UCAs, tires are not the only item that will show wear. I would definitely get a set of UCAs over beautifying.
