Another wonderful video as always. I too like the white color of LED lights. I can see true colors at night that I couldn't see with halogens. Another aspect of the whiter light (LEDs) is that they light up the reflectors in the middle of the road and the white stripes much better and much farther down the road. If I can make a request would you possibly make a short follow up video of the OEM LEDs cutoff line at 25 feet and a LUX reading at 25 feet of both low and high beams of the OEM LEDs? Thanks.
Love your garage background in the opening... Beer fridge & wide screen TV... BTW, I've ordered & received several items from Sparks Parts. Great prices, friendly service and fast shipping. Thanks for that tip!
May I suggest a follow up? Perhaps find a lux meter and a Tacoma friend with halogens to get some actual numbers to see if there really is a brightness difference.
Do you still use the load resistor that came with for your OEM LED headlights you installed because now, you added resistors to the rear? Or did you have to remove the ones up front?
You can keep doing it if you want but I'm just saying the intro sounds kind of weird when you say "welcome back *or* welcome to my channel." I may suggest a simple, "Hey guys, it's Chloe and welcome back!" I'm sure most people first viewing you won't be offended or even notice. Anywho I enjoy your videos, keep it up!
So when i ordered my leds, i originally wanted just the passenger side "trd" and wanted the offroad leds on the driver side since there isnt any "pro" badging on them. When they arrived i was noticed there is more chrome in the non pro versions. Just a heads up if anyonelse wanting to do this
I have been told, and also read somewhere, that the human eye reacts better to a whiter light such as the LEDs. That's why the LEDs seem brighter. I have them on my 17 Tacoma, and enjoy the improvement.
Just upgraded my 2019 TRD Off Road with the OEM's from SPARKs using the vid from Chloe (thanks!) and they look amazing! Prior to this though I ran Diode Dynamics LED bulbs in my original lights and was also very impressed with them. and the winner is?...SPARKS PARTS OEM. Light-wise they were both great...but the OEM's look more stylish.
LOVE YOUR CHANNEL WHY YOU HAVEN'T TALK ABOUT DOING A TUNING TO YOUR TACOMA I WANT TO DO IT TO MINE 2021 TRD OFF ROAD IT MAKES IT RUN BETTER LOOKING FORWARD FOR A VIDEO ON THAT THANKS
Thanks, i just ordered my LED TRD PRO headlights(same price as the regular LED's) from spark. There price was already the cheapest i'v seen them around but with your discount it was a no brainer and i had to get them. I was trying to decide on these vs the alpharex. But you can't beat Toyota OEM for cheaper.
I couldn't afford the oem headlights for my 2017 sr so I replaced all the halogen bulbs with lasfit h11 l.e.d.s they look great love the white light and I just purchased lasfit switch back l.e.d.s for my fog lights they turn on white but if you push the button twice they turn to and amber color witch I heard are great in heavy snow and rain storms can't wait until they come in I saw them installed on a u tube video and the guy tried putting on some amber film first but it just didn't look proper so he found the swivh backs on line 5 minute install on each light the difference was unbelievable I've had the lasfit bulbs in mine for three years with no problems so the fact that the swich backs where made by lasfit was perfect for me I like having all the same brands when I do things like this
So I have had my LED headlights for about a year now and they are definitely brighter than the ones on the video and if I turn on my fog lights and light bars it's like close encounters of the third kind. I can see deer a half mile away.
Literally was going to buy the LED lights from sparks parts on Wednesday, when I got an email as I was at the bank and the dealership wanted my truck so I went they paid off my truck no negative which was crazy cause I barely had it for a year but I got a Super White TRD Sport and the lights really are different at night way better
I just ordered my 2022 TRD off road, and in the features it says LED headlights, LED fog lights, and with LED DRL. Am I getting the headlights with the sequential turn signal?
Great video, I will add that I put The Super Nova SV-4 bulbs and Diode Dynamics Pro fog lights in my 21 TRD sport. The color and lighting is perfect. I work 3rd shift and drive in roads with no street lights, so good light is essential for me. For those looking for better lighting, I highly recommend them. That being said, the Baja fog lights or the GTR II bulbs was my other choice, but I went with the Diode Dynamics because of a good sale and the SV-4 because the GTR II have a concentrated hot spot vs the SV-4 are consistent across the beam pattern. Hope this helps!
Thanks for your channel. Just purchased a 21 taco off road, very happy. Do you have a garage door opener? I either dont have one or missing something, thanks
There are a lot of junk after-market lights and some high-quality after-market lights. My wife's 2020 CRV get some moisture in the OEM rear light...so it can happen with either OEM or after-market.
I have the 2021 Tacoma Pro with the OEM LED headlights, I'm looking for the Raptor smoked lights that plug into the OEM headlights, have you seen anything that doesn't require the add a fuse?
I replaced the halogen on my 2016 OR a few months into ownership, and its not that because the LED are brighter, but the white light projected created better illumination than the yellowish halogen, making the surrounding more visible. Reason replacing the OEM headlights to the new assembly: the LED bulbs have fans to dissipate heat, the fans makes a subtle noticeable whirling buzz noticeable when engine is off, and until lights turns off, either manually, or count down to auto off, as well as noticeable peeling of the clearcoat. New set of headlights from Sparks arrived a week ago, harness from Dave 2 weeks earlier, looking forward to install. Thanks Chloe.
3rd gen sure led with oem projectors. 2nd gen, I love my morimoto hid setup from TRS. But led is like 600 lumins. Hid 3200 lumins. The main thing is using projectors with brighter lights. Otherwise you will blind people, specially if they drive with halogen bulbs.
"...I've heard horror stories about other aftermarket headlights getting fogged up or water in them, but I've never heard that about an OEM headlight that hasn't been modified." Guessing you've never owned a GM vehicle. :-) Toyota has become my go-to for all vehicle purchases.
Fun fact, if a vehicle made the Top Safety Pick but not every single trim has LED headlights standard, then it is disqualified from making Top Safety Pick+
I bought a set with your code. Thank you so much! I'm excited to see them installed next weekend.
Absolutely worth it to me to switch over to LEDs... Thanks!
Love the video!
Definitely works and looks better, great work! 💯💯
Just ordered the bulb LED from lasfit plug in play. Like their LED
These lights came on my 2021 TRD 4x4 off road and they are awesome, and well worth the upgrade in my opinion.
Do these LED fit 2019 toyota tacoma trd pro?
Just ordered my headlights from them. Your video made me go with OEM. Great content per usual.
I'm liking that Rockstar fridge and what its chillin!!!

Great video as usual. I am definitely going with the LED's on my truck as well.
I just did the same on my 5th gen ranger! It's a must!
I prefer the led lights because of how the "whiter" color lights make objects stand out more.. With halogen objects seem to blend into the background
I love your channel. Your so cool and I love your truck. Keep the videos coming.
Possible to put 2023 TRD pro headlights on a 2019 TRD pro?
Another awesome video Chloe 😀. OEM all the way 👍. Just like you said "Durable." ♥️🌮🐶🐕
Love your garage background in the opening... Beer fridge & wide screen TV...

Great comparison! I like the LEDs - OEM all day!

I did it on my 2021 🌮 sport. It made a huge better difference. Also did my fog lights. I love it 🤩
Great Video U R amazing.. Keep posting!!
You are very informative and very detailed!!! Well done Chloe!!! I heard that LEDs does not use that much power unlike halogens?
GM CK And Family Headlight Tec has come along way great video as always CK Stay Safe Out There GBU And Family Always ❤
Back at you CK ❤
Get your rest CK ❤
Do they fit 2020 and up or what?
Using a new camera and lighting setup? Using new color grading of the footage? Whatever you changed, it’s upped the video quality so good job!
Anything LED is Worth it just for the look on its own
So when i ordered my leds, i originally wanted just the passenger side "trd" and wanted the offroad leds on the driver side since there isnt any "pro" badging on them. When they arrived i was noticed there is more chrome in the non pro versions. Just a heads up if anyonelse wanting to do this

Now it says not for sale. I have a 19 TRD off rd too, I really want those!
LOVE YOUR CHANNEL WHY YOU HAVEN'T TALK ABOUT DOING A TUNING TO YOUR TACOMA I WANT TO DO IT TO MINE 2021 TRD OFF ROAD IT MAKES IT RUN BETTER LOOKING FORWARD FOR A VIDEO ON THAT THANKS
LED cuz they look ‘cooler’!

I have the led light option. Always get the better headlights/stereo in any vehicle you buy.
I couldn't afford the oem headlights for my 2017 sr so I replaced all the halogen bulbs with lasfit h11 l.e.d.s they look great love the white light and I just purchased lasfit switch back l.e.d.s for my fog lights they turn on white but if you push the button twice they turn to and amber color witch I heard are great in heavy snow and rain storms can't wait until they come in I saw them installed on a u tube video and the guy tried putting on some amber film first but it just didn't look proper so he found the swivh backs on line 5 minute install on each light the difference was unbelievable I've had the lasfit bulbs in mine for three years with no problems so the fact that the swich backs where made by lasfit was perfect for me I like having all the same brands when I do things like this

TRD off road 2020 and up headlights have chrome around it, and pro headlights 2020 and up are black fully , yes it says pro on pro headlights only
You should PPF your headlights so they don’t fog over in the long haul
But you can put a LED light on the projection headlight.
Agreed. That's what I did! 👍
Literally was going to buy the LED lights from sparks parts on Wednesday, when I got an email as I was at the bank and the dealership wanted my truck so I went they paid off my truck no negative which was crazy cause I barely had it for a year but I got a Super White TRD Sport and the lights really are different at night way better

Where did you get the tshirt ? Suggestion but you might wanna start selling merch
Why not just put LED replacement bulbs in your halogen headlights? Much cheaper.
Hey it’s says no longer available for sale 🙁
Will they fit a 2018 trd off road Tacoma?
Yes, with a conversion harness
So does the 2022 TRD sport premium package I just ordered come with led headlights? Or just an LED driving lights?
00:07:30 The LED light is harsher and requires your brain to work harder. That over engagement gives you the illusion of ‘betterness’.
1300 bucks? They've lost their minds.
it’s says not for sale anymore 😕😕😕
There are a lot of junk after-market lights and some high-quality after-market lights. My wife's 2020 CRV get some moisture in the OEM rear light...so it can happen with either OEM or after-market.
I have the 2021 Tacoma Pro with the OEM LED headlights, I'm looking for the Raptor smoked lights that plug into the OEM headlights, have you seen anything that doesn't require the add a fuse?
I haven't ever looked at raptor lights, so I'm not sure
I was trying to purchase but it says not for sale? Is it that they’re out of stock perhaps?

it will fit with tacoma sr5 2021 ?
Yes, although I believe you would need to look for a specific conversion harness
could u have just changed the halogen bulb in the original headlights with an LED bulb?
3rd gen sure led with oem projectors. 2nd gen, I love my morimoto hid setup from TRS. But led is like 600 lumins. Hid 3200 lumins. The main thing is using projectors with brighter lights. Otherwise you will blind people, specially if they drive with halogen bulbs.
well... first bit of bad news is that sparkparts no longer has the LED TRD OffRoad headlights in the first link. Rather disappointing.
"...I've heard horror stories about other aftermarket headlights getting fogged up or water in them, but I've never heard that about an OEM headlight that hasn't been modified."
Guessing you've never owned a GM vehicle. :-)

cool
Sept. 18, go to link, part is NOT FOR SALE. No Longer Available for Purchase.
👍
I've never had LED but I suspect halogen is better for winter driving since they get warmer to melt snow and ice.
You said twice that the low beams are LED does that mean the high beams are not 🤷🏼♂️
The OEM LED light assemblies are LED for both the low and high beams.
LED WAS BETTER
It’s already sold out
You’re in denial if you say you like halogen more. Lol
Haha exactly
Amazing hair Don't cut it lol
