Headlights OEM Toyota or Morimoto

Put these in my car and they’re pretty great. Definitely a lot better than the shitty old candle headlights from the factory.

just did this to my NA exactly the same way, can’t recommend it enough. It’s even cheaper than those ugly halos that people use

Another vote for morimotos. I have them on my F-150 and I love them.

Morimoto xb hybrid is what I have on mine. No issues at all

Morimoto XB or XB Hybrids. Almost 4 years on mine. Zero issues.

Overall, I am very happy with the results. The biggest pain was the amount of time and energy it took to research/learn about 4Runner headlights and the nuances between model years and aftermarket solutions. In the end, I spent $450 on headlights + $150 on a harness and came out with a high quality solution that far exceeds the halogens mine originally came with. For $600, I got OEM reliability for a critical car component. I’d say that’s a win.

These are known to go bad. I didn't have your issue, but my passenger light decided to start flickering one night instantly. The next day, the DRL wasn't working, and the low beam wouldn't come on. I ended up getting new headlights from Morimoto since I had no warranty, and I wasn't going to pay $1200 for one headlight from Nissan. The OEM lights are pretty good, but terribly designed, causing water intrusion.

I have installed the morimotos on a '14 f150 and its plug and play. I did have to warranty out a headlight as abled went bad.

We bought a 2013 Toyota last winter and I was surprised to find it was a step backward in headlights from the 2004 Toyota we replaced. Our previous car didn't have an "auto" setting but at least we could just leave the headlights in the "on" position all the time and they'd shut off when we turned the car off, and turn back on when we turned the car back on. With our current car it's like a step back to the 1990s. There's no "auto" setting. The "on" setting really means "on" even if the car isn't running, and if you try to get out of the car without turning the headlights off the car will beep at you incessantly to warn you the battery will die if you don't turn the lights off. Needless to say this has been an adjustment and I have on a few occasions driven a couple of blocks at night before realizing I forgot to turn the headlights on.

I own a 2022 Toyota, and I was just complaining to a buddy that the headlights on Auto don’t come on unless it’s basically pitch black. I wish they were more conservative.
