just removed my 2014 tacoma grill. these instructions were perfect. I am an idiot so I removed the 2 clips at the bottom on either side near the trim by the headlamp housing. so don't remove this or it will add give to the bottom making removing the grill tabs on the bottom extra difficult. SO DONT REMOVE THE 2 BOTTOM CLIPS. Her instructions on here are spot on and shouldn't be modified like I did.

[@ThatGen2Taco]

She made pulling out that headlamp look so easy. I’ve seen other videos where it was so difficult.

Because girls are gentle 😎🤘🏾

[@anthonyacuna8700]

This video helped a lot ! I needed no electrical modifications at all. Just followed the instructions on video and got to install my new lights . Thanks !

[@ExtremeTerrainToyota]

Thanks for watching, Anthony! -Zach

[@zackaryk2000]

With the closed cap on the headlight, there's no way to put an LED that I have found. Any help?

[@truthkeeperfilms]

Projectors are a MUST have if you are installing LED or HID lights, that way you can adjust the beam so on coming traffic aren't blinded.

[@SOM3ON3SP3CIAL11]

gave those bolts all the torque

[@rubenc4465]

That was the first thing that I saw. The socket was made for a pneumatic tools - not good for plastic. IMO Overall good video but didn't mention anything regarding the wiring/connection

[@speedshift1014]

Does the C light have a blue tint to it in person or is it just the camera?

[@49obando]

I bought this headlights for my 2012 taco and after year and a half the clear lens started to peel off. Not a good product

[@L4J20]

Oh no! I have a 2012… was thinking about getting these 😐

[@tcepilot]

So no modification to the wiring at all?

[@whatfreedom7]

What kind of warranty for leaking and oxidation?

[@juniorcarbajal8035]

Can you change the projector headlamp bulb? For an LED?

[@collapsingquantumwav]

Good question.

[@stevebrown162]

You can. But, make sure you know how to level and center the LED properly on a projector lens. Otherwise, the beam pattern won't be right.

[@08LTZ_400]

@@stevebrown162 what led bulb does it take ?

[@L4J20]

Can the turn signal bulb be replaced with a led bulb, and not have hyperflash?

[@stevebrown162]

It can, but the only one that will work properly is made by Lasfit. The canbus is built in the base og the bulb. They're expensive, but excellent. I've been using their bulbs for years.

[@andyfishinguy]

I got the ones with the shorter light bar installed but the parking lights on the outsides won’t turn on, need some help with this issue.

[@zachthompson2824]

I installed these on my Tacoma and not sure if the light bar is supposed to be a DRL but any help would be appreciated

[@scottyates5077]

Any idea how to adjust the halo?

[@thefailedgamerchannel5835]

How do you adjust the headlight mine seem to been to low can’t see anything in front of me

[@ExtremeTerrainToyota]

There is a Phillip's head adjuster screw on the backside of the headlight where you can adjust the beam. Hope this helps!

[@alexeyseredin30]

Just installed them on my 2014 Tacoma but I am getting hyper flash when I use my right signal and the front indicator is completely out but the rest of the light is working. Is this a common problem? Do I need to a relay or something to prevent this from happening?

[@kenchiek4913]

i’m not an expert but it sounds like it’s just a bad bulb

[@alexeyseredin30]

@@kenchiek4913 I replaced the bulbs and it works fine now. However the right side lens is faded and it appears to be burnt or something which is weird but they still work fine.

[@stevebrown162]

Great video on how to swap headlight assemblies. However, I'm doing the reverse. I bought those after market assemblies and the coating they applied is peeling off, looking terrible. So, I'm going back to OEM Toyota assemblies that are boring looking but last a lifetime with proper restoration every few years or so. Plus, the light pattern on the OEM assemblies is superior. Always stick with OEM parts, including headlight assemblies. The Japanese make the best plastics.

[@ExtremeTerrainToyota]

Sorry to hear that but it sounds like those JDM parts are holding their own as they always do! Thanks for watching!

[@stevebrown162]

@@ExtremeTerrainToyota Not exactly. My point is that those have a terrible beam pattern and the coating that comes with them is peeling off. Looking terrible. Aside from that, hard to see at night. I believe other people have commented on the poor beam pattern and light projection.

[@toadco]

Can you adjust the halogen light beam? I feel mine is pointing too low. Has anyone swap out the halogen blub with a LED?

[@DanielMGarcia69]

Yes, you can and have to as these come pointing down from factory. There’s two hex bolts on the back of each.

[@PeteRoberts-sy6ug]

Time 7:38 is not that easy, the bolt goes into a metal tab that you have to transfer over from the stock headlight and hope you get it on correct and you’ll be pulling the headlight out again. I never got mine in, needs to be up on a lift to really see and get access to it.

[@kyzerw3816]

They are so expensive though there are some similar for $250 on eBay

[@stevebrown162]

Don't ever buy automotive parts on eBay, or Amazon. Ever. You won't be happy. Always stay with OEM parts.

[@mllee4016]

PPL don't use an impact gun you're asking for trouble just use a ratchet wrench...

[@chrisbarnard998]

These headlights are terrible. 10/10 looks 1/10 performance. Can’t see anything at night and got condensation in the headlights 30 minutes after install

[@sw11593]

I had a pair. Just went back to stock. They were garbage

[@henryassault1359]

I'm so fucking happy I bought a Ford F150. Only 3 screws to replace a headlight. Not a game of twister.

[@yoterchris1028]

These are the same thing as the specd lights and cost 100 bucks more smh
