Joe i would pass on them. I remember hearing complaints about the beam pattern on them. I saw a picture somewhere of the back of the lights. They looks very cheaply built. I would bet they take on water like all them altezza tail lights out there.

agreed, very cheap wiring, and bulb housing.
im just gonna go with the v-led kit, or bulbs most likely.
i've researched this enough, thanks for all the insight, it helps to discuss and throw it out in the air before doing it.
i have a very stock '07 tundra, so it needs some hookups, but nothing to much.
also i dont think my low beam is a h-11 or whatever, my manual says like a
9005.
how about dvd/navi units, is it true most units only play the DVD when car is in motion?? know of any brands that play video while moving

There are no brands that leagally play DVDs while the vehicle is in motion. I have a pioneer D3 that I have modded to do this. You would need to find a mod to get it working.

its all about how you wire the deck on installation.

you are not supposed to be watching movies and driving.

just ground the parking brake wire to an actual ground instead, problem solved.

just my 2 cents

headlights

Please let me know if anyone finds something better than the stock bulbs for headlights. I have an 07 super crew max 4x4 and it has the worst light projection that I have ever seen. I would love to replace with something, just don't know what and don't want to spend a ton of money either. Any suggestions would be great.
