    I recently put a set of Phillips Ultinon headlights in my wife's Highlander...These lights are simply amazing. I was looking @XenonDepot web site for headlights for my Tundra. I can't find anything but fog lights.

    Does Phillips not make the same type of headlight in an H11 connector??

    If they don't make them are there any GREAT LED bulbs for both low and high beam for my 08 Tundra?? Would really like to get rid of my halogens, especially after replacing my wife's with Phillips Ultrinon LED headlights!

    Hey OP!

    I do not recommend an LED or HID kit for Headlight use, as they are not DOT Compliant and are not Legal for Street-Use. This applies to all LED/HID kits that are aftermarket, even the Diode Dynamics SL1 LED bulbs. If you wish to upgrade your Headlights, I would suggest looking into a Brighter Halogen bulb setup like Philips or Osram, which will be labeled if they are DOT Compliant.

    You can also look into the Best option, being the Morimoto XB LED Headlight Assemblies! These fully-LED Housings are DOT Approved and will pass any State Inspections with flying colors! Great warranty, fully plug and play, and you get upgraded Turn signals + fresh housings!

    If your vehicle is Strictly Off-Road use only, or along the lines of a Privately used Farm truck, then you may upgrade the Headlights with a PnP LED system, as long as they are not being used on Public roads/areas!

    If you have any Questions for me, please email us directly and we'd be happy to help out where we can. [​IMG] Thank You!

    I stand corrected.
    Thanks @Headlight Revolution for the correct info on road legality of the leds.

    Went back and re-read diode dynamic website and it does indeed said it's not street legal for led bulb in headlights, but ok for fog lamps.

    I quote:
    APPLICATION NOTICE: LED bulbs are legal in the USA for Fog Light use only. Not compliant with DOT / FMVSS108 and not street legal in the USA for Headlights. Legal for off-road use in ATV, snowmobile, and off-road racing use. International legality varies by country.
    Note: This usage regulation is not unique to Diode Dynamics bulbs. All LED bulbs from all brands, regardless of marketing claims, are prohibited from street use in halogen headlights in the USA. Click here to learn more.

    I can attest putting LED’s in my 07 OEM’s wasn't my brightest idea. It's like driving the sun at night. I've seen owls sitting in trees while driving. I don't get me wrong, it's awesome, but its blinding to everyone else. I’ll keep them in my highs and fogs but back to halogen for now.
