    At first I felt like they helped the truck feel planted in the corners. Now I'm not sure . But they do help off-road when you come down hard on em vs the stock ones

    Very nice. :thumbsup: I can't find any pictures on their website of sliders mounted on our trucks. Were you able to find some?

    I just saw pictures of the sliders and price for our trucks. I didn't really pay attention to whether or not the sliders I saw were on a Tundra or Tacoma.

    I need to try to order em today. I messaged en last Monday and the previous Thursday only to find out he was on vacation. He told me he'd be back this week. I haven't heard anything since. So it's time to reach out again, plus it's pay day.

    Which harness did you go with?

    Did you check if our trucks are ground switched or conventionally switched?

    I just went with these items in the link.

    Be sure to unplug the grey harness on the right of your battery if you have DTRLs

    Just finished install. Lights are working and warm lol. Can't wait to see how they look on my way to work tonight

    Also cleaned my MAF and polished the headlights with some instant stuff I got a Kroger. Worked great the first time a few months back. Can't really tell a difference this time.

    On pins and needles for your night shots and review of this. That harness being roughly $100 is significant, but if it is really that much better I might have to make the jump! I like the idea of not going LED with resistors and such.

    How come you didn't decide to go with LEDs? I'm not familiar with these. Are they a better option?

    I've had LEDs before and they are shit. Plus LEDs aren't meant for stock housings as these are because they are halogen.

    Ok so light output low beams is amazing. Hi beans suck. But same went for the last set of Osram 55w bulbs I had before. I think Osram just makes shitting high beams. But the low beams are great.

    Is it worth the $100 harness and $30-40 in bulbs? I was trying to see if there are other options on 100w bulbs. Maybe that will remedy the sub par high beams. :notsure:

    So far I like em. Although I got flashed omw home from work this morning quite a few more times than usual.
    I wonder if the 85w would be a better option

    Do you have a pic with the low beams on from about 25’ away projecting on a garage door?

    Seems your assys are aimed too high based on the ‘flashing’ and some of your night pics.

    I know you said LEDs suck, but you should try the Katanas if you change your mind. CREE technology and a pretty precise beam pattern.

    I may when these burn out. But more than likely I'll just swap the 100w for 85w bulbs

    Now I just need to figure out how to make it work. The emblem is going to be tricky because it has a spot
    for a screw behind the second O and two snap on things behind the T and A. The center hole and outter snaps don't align and I can't put all three into the grill slots. I may just use a screw and washer on the center, trim the two outters so the emblem doesn't bow, and gorilla glue em to the bar... Hmm

    How did you end up attaching the Toyota name plate? Did I miss which grille you have? I'm serious. I want that. LOL
