    I am looking to replace my 2008 Tundra Crewmax Limited headlights with a better pair, mine are starting to have micro cracks in them. I want a quality "Leak Free" headlight, but my pockets aren't deep enough for Sequoia headlights. I have been looking at the Spyder and Anzo and have read that the Spyder leak if not sealed before installation. The Anzo pair are right at $480. What are your recommendations?
    Thanks...

    Honestly with those 2 brands, neither. I'd get alpharex for a bit better light projection.

    Thanks for your suggestion, looking at the Alpharex, I like what they offer and the price point is good also.

    The alpharex's have their leakage problems too. Can't really avoid it with aftermarket units.

    *The main problem is leaking past the cup/seal cap if you are drilling to install HIDs. Silicon can seal it up.

    So in the +/- $400 range, is the Alpharex my best bet?

    Yeah. For projectors that functions as projectors with a decent cut off.

    alpharex with better halogens. The HID/LED, you have to cut the seal hence some condensation issues or make sure you re-seal well.
