[@captaina4458]

I’ve got a 2010 Tundra and these Morimoto XB’s are awesome.

[@SourceADV]

For sure, great lights

[@maxhenry1977]

Never was a fan of the looks of the current gen tundra, but your truck is really sharp looking.

[@SourceADV]

Thanks man!! The Morimotos really change the face for the better. I was in the same boat as you and wanted to see if I could make it look better

[@blacksunshine489]

I just put these on my 2012 with the amber daytime running lights. Completely changes/updates the front end along with the xb fog lights. Just like you said. Keeping my 2012 for another 5-7 years.

[@SourceADV]

Thats exactly how I feel! It just updates the truck and makes you really like it's looks again. Enjoy!

[@scoobaa]

how can i make them amber 24/7?

[@SourceADV]

Don’t know, talk to morimoto or headlight Revolution

[@spinfish1434]

The Morimoto's are the Top of The Line aftermarket lights, really update the truck. I have a set, best mod on my 2010!

[@SourceADV]

For sure! Grade AA quality and performance.

[@ragnaroker85]

Great vid, I've had my xb led headlights since launch. And I'm still in love with the way they make the truck looks. I did have to swap out one of mine headlights due to a bad seal, but the process to do a warranty exchange was painless. Also ended swapping out the fogs for the new 4bangers from morimoto. Overall morimoto does make a great product. Glad to see your enjoying your headlights

[@SourceADV]

Cheers! Good stuff!

[@MandEmma7]

OK these look super bad ass. I hope you get something like this on my truck before winter.

[@SourceADV]

They are sick!!! I have shitty eyes and they help so much at night too. Cheers!

[@jimmieg6218]

I got these too paired with diode dynamic ss3 fogs and i feel brighter than most high end luxurious cars on the road today.

[@SourceADV]

Nice!! I bet that looks and works awesome. Eventually I’m swapping the bumper and doing some Baja Designs lights on there

[@nothanks1627]

Thats the combo I'm looking to do! What a badass setup👍🏻

[@SourceADV]

Cheers!

[@Nexus-6]

You've sold me on the Morimoto's. My 2011 Tundra's headlamps got pretty glazed. I've used a kit on them twice to make them clear again, but they honestly look pretty shit. My truck's also lifted like your's and I often get people flashing me because my old OEM reflector housings are dazzling oncoming driver's with the LED's in them. I really need better night time lighting, living in Canada with our long winters and short days. I'd also like to not be a dick and blind oncoming drivers. These Morimoto's seem like a worthwhile investment. Cheers! 🍻

[@SourceADV]

Mine are still so solid! They are a great product and really modernize the front of the truck. I think if I was being smarter I would probably would have had someone clear bra them right after I installed them to keep them super fresh for life. Mine are still mint but would be nice to know they are protected. Cheers!

[@csmers3743]

looks awesome..makes me wanna get a 2 gen...totally updates the truck!!!! 👍🏽

[@SourceADV]

For sure! Can’t wait to see what it looks like with a different bumper too.. might actually be a great looking truck. LOL

[@Esteban_Herrera]

Did you have to adjust them? I bought a set for my 2008 Tundra. I had to do vertical and horizontal adjustments. I know how to make these adjustments. I'm not happy about the low beams. I used the shine them on a wall method. I think the center height on the truck was 46" I put tape on the wall and adjusted the blob to 1" below that mark. I since adjusted them maybe 2" above that mark with no complaints from other drivers. What I'm thinking is the center of the blob should be 1" below the center height of the headlight not the top of the blob. I also had to make the horizontal adjustment. My beans were crossed eyed. I did read the service manual for the 2009 Tundra but it isn't clear. What I suggest is before changing out the headlights is to make your marks using the factory beam setup. Then you will have a guide to go by.

[@SourceADV]

Makes sense! Mine were spot on

[@Scotty641]

been wanting to do this for over a year now. Get some ceramic coating wipes and put some on the lens to keep them protected so they always look brand new! great vid.

[@SourceADV]

Thanks mike!!

[@justinunrein4856]

Ceramic coating wipes... is that like a 3M clear film or something you wipe on?

[@Scotty641]

@@justinunrein4856yea its a ceramic wipe that hardens . search Cerakote trim wipes and you can check them out. work great on any plastic and makes it look new

Hi. The fog light bulbs. Any specific kind or did you just pick what you thought matched? Love what you doing! Keep it up - and happy new year!

[@SourceADV]

Hey David, just grabbed some Sylvania bulbs from oreillys that had a 6000k color temperature to match the lights. Cheers! I think they were $65

keep the vids coming please. potentially going to get this same truck 2010 rock warrior and this gives me hope for making it look better. praying I can get this truck! are you pretty happy with the truck overall? i know MPGs are shit but just curious. Awesome truck!

[@SourceADV]

Yeah only complaint is 12.9 mpg on the highway at 85 MPH. Otherwise great truck!

[@legion1630]

hello glad to see this video..do you mind sharing your tire wheel sizes and do you have a discount code for the headlights..also can you share if you like the powertrain and reliability..tks so much

[@SourceADV]

Thank you!! I don’t have any discount codes, sadly I pay full retail too haha!! Truck is bulletproof and power is great above 2800 rpm

[@legion1630]

@@SourceADV thanks for the response

[@RedWingWolf03]

So this video was made 3 years ago, my question is, how well are the lights holding up? I'm searching for new headlights and I want to be sure that I'm getting a quality product before I drop so much money on them. Do they work well with an aftermarket bumper because my truck has a Road Armor. Thanks for any assitance.

[@SourceADV]

Dude, I just did a 6 hour drive from Sedona to Moab last night, they are still absolutely dialed and are a life saver for my terrible eyes. The only change has been swap the fuse for the DRL to double the amperage. (5 to 10 I think). The lenses look awesome still, DRL have no bad pixels and the light power is so much better for my shittt night eyes. Would 100% buy again. The height adjustment still works great for trailering too. I’m just as shocked as anybody, these things rock

[@whiskey1016]

I know this is a older video..,great build by the way..,but are my eyes deceiving me is that a short bed on this tundra or a standard box for the double cab?..,thanks

[@SourceADV]

It’s the 6.5 foot bed with the double cab not the crew cab. The little rear doors are really usable and rear seats are very comfy. It’s a good setup! The newest generation is much smaller.

[@dulcimer16]

Love it! Any new updates on the tundra?

[@SourceADV]

Nothing too much recently, I put a TRD Pro style grill on it and it looks pretty cool!

[@dulcimer16]

@@SourceADV would you consider making a video with your truck doing bare minimum style overlanding?

[@SourceADV]

@@dulcimer16 I'm looking for light way toy hauler trailers at the moment because my main focus is enduro dirt bike racing now here in AZ, so it's good to be able to sleep well the night before, have AC and take a shower after. So I think Overlanding probably goes against that in a lot of ways, sorry man!

[@SourceADV]

I might actually be selling this truck soon to get a 2.7 EcoBoost F150 and keep the trailer weight around 4K, at lot of the races are 6-15 hour drives and the tundra is a little thirsty when towing. LOL

[@dulcimer16]

@@SourceADV I understand the mpg thing. I have a 2010 5.7 rock warrior. But I think the reliability is better on the 2nd gen tundras, than the ecoboost.

[@sammypalmer7633]

They look great!!! But wow the price tag is unheard of expensive.

[@SourceADV]

Yeah, it's definitely no joke. But the way I looked at it is that I got this truck for 22K with 80K miles on it and a comparable current gen would have been $35K+ for basically the same frame, drivetrain, etc... If you can stand the older style interior, throwing these lights on really does make the truck look unique and modern and allows my ole'ass eyes to see the road at night. LOL -- Take care!

[@hectorsuarez9560]

Hi there. Do you happened to have night pictures. I wanted to see the light output.

[@SourceADV]

At 2:26 in the video I show before/after

[@jcrew4631]

Looks good with the headlights. What bulbs did you use on fog light to match the headlight?

[@SourceADV]

You can see it in the beginning of the video, it’s a Slyvania LED fog, I can’t remember the exact part number though. Cheers!

[@SourceADV]

Oh! I forgot to tell you, I get them from OReilys, so it’s nothing special. Hope that helps. Take care!

[@la40-1]

Hones Review: The DTRs is great and they appear to be of good quality construction but that's it. They are subpar low beam brightness and they project dark spots. They came completely out of adjustments the both headlights were shining down and to the left. I spent more then 3 hours to adjust them, they have no cut-off because they are reflector leds not projectors so it was very hard to see on the wall where the center of the beam is. It's like adjusting normal halogen without a special equipment. Forget about the provided adjustment guide it's a joke. You need to figure out alone what to turn and in which direction. The high and low leveling adjuster is at good spot and easy to rotate but the left and right leveling adjuster is at the worst spot ever at the end under the fender. It's not enough that it's in a bad place but it's also a tiny 8mm nut for which you need small 8mm wrench. You don't see it actually you need to touch, feel it and rotate it with the wrench by feel and to have a very small hands. I had to remove the water reservoir for the wipers to be able to adjust the right headlight. My advice is to go to the nearest workshop to adjust them with special equipment. I didn't see that they are actually reflector leds wehn I bought them honestly didn't expect it from headlights for 1000+$ For reflector leds they are way overpriced should be around 500$ mark. I wish I can return them but it's complicated because I'm in Europe and I've already paid extra 450$ for import duties and shipment. Shame subpar beam with a lot of irritierend dark sport! I'm very disappointed from this headlights. At least I hope they will last, will see ...

[@SourceADV]

Which ones out there are better for this truck then?

[@Franco66]

Does anybody know on a '07 Tundra if there's any way to add something to make the headlights turn off automatically after you leave the vehicle.

[@truth1007]

Was installing those headlights a simple plug and play? It sure did look like it, can you please let me know, I am looking at getting the same upgrade, thanks.

[@SourceADV]

Yup! Pretty straightforward

[@RickyRickRik]

Does it have the leveling system in it? If so how is it used?

[@SourceADV]

Yes it does, its meant so you can point the lights lower if the truck is carrying a large load (which points the lights up at the sky). There is a small knob on the dash that has 5 different heights to point the lights at. It works really well!

[@miguelcruz3873]

I have an 08 tundra I’ve been considering these headlights for the longest time! Just wondering if they are actually worth it and how hard is it to install them ??? Do you think you would make a video of how to install them in the future ??

[@SourceADV]

They are awesome, totally update the look and functionality of the truck. I won’t be making an install video because the Headlight Revolution one is perfect and the one I followed. Cheers!!

[@tjyoung4211]

How are those Morimoto XB’s holding up? Still happy? Any regrets? I have a 2013 Tundra and I’m considering them.

[@SourceADV]

Thus far they are great! The only weird thing is that the DRL's turn on when the lights are in the off switch, so if the truck is running there is not a good way to turn off the lights completely... I can't remember what the stock lights are like, but there are some scenarios where I would like to be able to turn the lights off completely... But.. Other than that, no regrets!!!

[@tjyoung4211]

@@SourceADV Thank you for your reply! And to answer your question, on the stock/factory headlight assembly, the amber turn signals are the DRL's and cannot be turned off when the truck is running so I'm not aware of any way to turn them off completely.
