    Will I need anything else like a conversion kit to run these in my '16 SR5? I do not have led drl's on mine.

    Nope. Plug and play, The base is quite larger than the factory so that was a challenge but I made it work.

    Glad to hear. I've been the one that started and have been suggesting these from the start after doing a lot of research. Before I got the Auxbeam NF-S1, I had tried a highly recommended lighting dark led bulbs and they were pure trash. Light everywhere with no good pattern. These are a better alternative to dropping a ton of money for the 2018 led headlight assemblies. Get the H11 Auxbeam NF-S1 bulbs for the headlights and it will be even better. I adjusted my headlights down one click to 1.

    @TundraTSS19 Thanks for the links and input. I just ordered these. Factory lights are terrible on my 2017 1794. Hope this is a significant upgrade!

    Questions.. By default it seems orientated this way.. Did you use the chuck adjustment?
    And what about the retaining wire? Lol

    Ok folks the chuck is a joke, only machined with one hole so since you can't rotate the ears, this is a fit or no fit scenario

    It looks like the cup orientation is where I have the questions.. If it's only one way the tabs dictate the position
    What about getting the dust cover over the heat sink.. Lol

    Can you take a few more pics of the housing while you have it apart? It might help @TundraTSS19 explain it more. Seems like he said you can pull the bulb apart from the black plastic base and flip it the correct way, but I may be wrong on that.

    The first one is showing the diameter of the heat sink in relation to the dust boot hole.. Lol.. This thing doesn't stretch that much.. Bwahahahah

    The second one gives you an idea of the receiver tab orientation..

    If you rotate the bulb you can pull it out and separate it from the black mounting tab and then install the boot over top of it before you install the bulb into it. Rotate bulb so the metal reflector cup is on the button.

    The bulbs fit or else I would have never suggested it. You just have to read my posts. The bulb can be rotated to unlock the black plastic mounting tab to install into the halogen housing and lock the locking ring onto it. Take the factory boot over and install it. Then you can put the bulb through the boot and lock it into the black mounting tab by rotating it with metal reflector facing the bottom. Don't forget to plug it up and done.
