Which one to pick?

Hey all!

I know there are many headlight options and threads out there but couldn’t find one that addressed my question.

I am looking at a controversial topic - drop in LED bulbs for low beams. I know there are better and worse options and I understand what I am getting myself into because I have Amazon drop in LEDs now. They are decent but one is going out already.

I see everyone recommends Lasfit for LED bulbs. But my question is, is the Lasfit Pro bulb (made specifically for the 4Runner) really worth it at $179? Or is the Lasfit LA series bulb just as good if properly adjusted at only $70?

For those running Lasfit LEDs in low beams, which ones are you running?

Thank you in advance!

Neither. H9 are the best choice for you and oncoming drivers.

I appreciate the info! Thanks for the links!

I have read multiple things and have almost thought about trying the H9 for performance but just not a fan of the halogen color (I know it’s silly, but white light just looks better to me even though it may be my mind and eyes)

does anyone have pictures from outside the 4Runner with H9 bulbs?

I also am ocd so my LED fogs I feel will look very odd without LED headlights but maybe I am wrong.

 

H9, German-made is what I have in the 4R AND MY '17 Taco, and is the best and cheapest low beam upgrade you can do. No light scatter causes oncoming drivers to get pissed.

The lower K temperatures, "yellow", of the halogen bulb allow superior depth perception and better vision with particulates in the air, rain, snow, and dust. I use higher K LED off-road lights, and that made me put amber/yellow LED foglights in the 4R, Rigid, and KC Gravity my '17 Tacoma. Way back in the early '00s I put 100/80 watt Hella blue H4 bulbs in the euro lights, dual relay headlight harness (no melting and no fires) on my 19888 VW Quantum syncro Wagon GL5, and immediately noticed horrible vision at night in snow and rain.





The best LED setups are OEM or Morimoto headlight assemblies; all else is absolute junk.

 

Sounds like you have definitely had the experience. I am going to certainly look into the German made H9 and see what I can do. Thank you for all this again!
