    Headlights weren't too difficult to replace, but those fog lights were a pain. Glad to have LEDs. Made a big difference driving home at night.

    Edit. Apparently I had the fog lights upside down. When installing into factory housing, they fit 2 different ways, one loose, the other snug. Loose is what you want as you will have to reuse the factory level screw. I assumed they had there own level so left these off the first time. Hopefully this will save someone some time.
    This was all probably just a rookie mistake, however they come with zero instructions.

    Is there a market for stock halogens?

    I will probably hold on to them, just incase I run into any issues with the new ones. Not sure how their warranty works, but if the need them sent back before issuing new ones I'd be screwed

    I have a set up for sale from my 2013. Shipping I’m sure would make the deal too expensive.

    No, the morimoto has the motorized leveling gears built in so you retain the function.

    Thanks for sharing these images. -- I recently bought a 2014 Limited, and I've wondered about replacing the headlamps. It looks like the OP has a 2nd-gen Tundra; what would be recommended for a 2014, and where would you recommend buying them? (I'm looking at the "Products Discussed" items listed below, but they don't appear to have the actual headlights with encasings.)

    The beautiful blue tundra is a 2014+ and has the Morimoto, aftermarket replacement headlamps.


    I will let you Google where to purchase. There's like 2 or 3 retailers who carry them, but I believe they are really just the same outfit.

    They generally sling fairly high quality stuff

    Having a hard time finding a nice tail light, that doesn't look like it belongs on a 1990 civic

    That sucks. Guess we wait for Morimoto to come up with some rear lights...
