    I agree with Glen.

    I'll eventually upgrade to a set of Hellas as well. Quality headlamp. Will be a little more expensive than your average Ebay finds, but then again you might even find a set of Hellas on there. I saw a set for my truck, but switching lamps is far down my TO DO list so I passed on them.

    I've had Bosch and Hellas on my past vehicles - you won't regret buying them.

    i have the Hella euro beams and they are awesome. thats all ive run in all my yota pickups ive had. glass housings and good reflector technology makes em hard to beat.

    i recently put a 8000k HID dual beam system on my truck and the light is rediculous.... i also removed the inner shield reflector to allow full power of the HID's since the bulbs had their own hi/lo beam shield that distributes the light. i can see so far down the road its stupid.....:D

    if you guys cant find em, i can investigate how much i can get em for here at a local light warehouse. i think for the housings i paid somewhere around 80 bux???

    gotten more then 2yrs out of the bulbs that came with the set so far.

    you guys with your silly rectangles have it easy. i spent $70 for conversion housings for my 78. and that was the cheapest. haha. but i like them. it has 4 small rounds.

    decent light pattern, the bulbs they sent are better than any store ones ive tried. but they also arent legal. theyre alot brighter.

    do not get those they are garbage..stay away from those wanna be projectors you will be very disappointed,and if you throw HIDs in them it will be worse you will have light shining all over the place..If you want projectors buy some OEM projectors and do a real reto fit,otherwise stick to regular headlamps
