    They can be installed upside down on a SR5
    They have a one year warranty.
    Time will tell.

    TRD Offroad option added LED headlights on my 2018 SR5. Glad I went that route... they do make a big difference.

    Hit up @Headlight Revolution and get the gen 3 GTR ultra series. $89 with lifetime warranty. Best ones I found for reflector housing. There’s also a new series of GTR but pricey. Yes you have to take everything apart to get to headlights. Take your time the first time and careful when you take off the side skirt around the support that helps hold headlight. Not bad when you get use to it. You can watch vids on how to change out bulbs on @Headlight Revolution site. Highly recommend these guys and there no bullshit. You can also look at bulbfacts.com and compare led bulbs. But I’ve tried all the brands everyone talks about on here and GTR bulbs the best I found. I’m not ready to take that plunge for factory led housing yet. I got led fogs from @Roman from cool springs. Match is good, plus I would do anytime fog light mod. On the 2019’s the wiring is different. Get a spare fog relay so you can swap out when inspection time comes.

    Thanks SimplyTheTrue for the no thrills straight talk. Would you know by looking at this pic what those metal things are on the tip of the light bulb?

    That is a Reflector Bowl for your High beams! When you hit your High beams, that little Scoop directs the Light upwards towards a different arrangement of Reflectors, creating your High beams! Make sure when installing an H4 bulb that the little Bowl is facing up in the housings, like a Bowl of Cereal! :)

    The $89 Ultra Series bulbs are on sale due to being Discontinued for the Ultra 2 Release. The original Ultra Series bulbs now come with a 1-Year Warranty due to the Closeout Price. By no means is that Warranty a time period that these bulbs will fail, my Parents have been using theirs on their Sequoia for the last 4 Years straight with no issues at all! :) GTR Lighting knows their stuff! Heck for right in that $90-$100 range, it's a damn hard option to beat! :)

    I noticed that there's a adjustable wheel inside the truck to move the head light beam up and down will or does this have any affect when changing the bulbs to leds?

    Ah yes the In-Cab adjustment, such a nice feature! That will work with LEDs as well, so no features lost! There is a little Motor on your Headlight that turns an Adjustment gear in the Headlight, lowering or raising the Headlight bucket to direct your Beam Pattern!

    Yes what @Headlight Revolution said, a reflector, used with high beams. That cup should face upwards when installing/cup on bottom facing upwards.

    I always thought the little shield was used on the low beam and is responsible for the sharp cut off line?

    Cup facing upwards directs the light to the top of the reflector which reflects down on the road. The second led chip that is uncovered gives full light to the reflector housing for high beam.
    Maybe @Headlight Revolution could comment?

    When I switched to the GTR leds I didn’t adjust the headlights under the hood. I used the in cab adjustment and set it to one. Other leds I tried I had to adjust under hood because they were like crazy. I put back in the philips I had to get the adjustment right. The GTR is my fav as for leds in reflectors. When or if I want to I will install the pro housing leds. I will go with @Roman for these. Good luck on your decision making. I’m telling you from an 2019 to 2019 tundra the best I found for our year make.

    I have the hikari. Great led bulbs. Excellent cutoff on my halogen housing. No one has complained of glare, I even went out to look and didn't get blinded until I was crouched lower than the headlight height. They have a fan that makes noise but engine noise washes out the noise. Will only notice it if your car is in ACC and headlights on.

    Yes..

    I carry the few tools needed to remove the grille and headlights in my swingcase.
    Carry all the spare bulbs as well.
    It takes less then 15 minutes to get it apart and back together.

    BTW, if anyone needs to change a bulb in one side, you might as well do the other side while it is apart..
