Thank you. I'm on the same boat as you, I'm changing out the entire front end and debating between this and the alpharex. Leaning more on this as we know OEM tends to more reliable.

Functionally they are the same. So however stock works will be how these work. Only real difference is you get an amber DRL and separate projectors for the high/low beams.

Haven’t posted updated photos but I did finally do the other side back at the beginning of January instead of rocking one of each.
I’ve been wanting a set as I figured they were out and play. Just wish they were slightly cheaper lol

Thank you OP, I just bought a set lol. To the rest, Toyota is currently running 25% off plus dealer % and free shipping. Grab them while it's hot!
That’s exactly why I went this route.
Man, I really want these lights except I hate the illuminated TRD PRO or Trailhunter branding on whatever lights are used. Makes me feel like a poser since I have an SR. I really want the amber DRL and LED turn signal and the extra high beam projector.
Stock high beams really suck on our trucks. I did at least fix the amber part with LED bulbs from VLEDS and added resistors. But it would be nice to go an OEM LED upgrade route. But not sure I can handle the branding.

I totally get where you are coming from. Once my order arrives, I'm planning on either plastidipping or wrapping the exterior of the headlight to cover the branding.

I’ll be curious to see your results when done. Back in the third gen days, people would upgrade to the TRD Pro lights (they wanted the black housing instead of chrome) and there was a guy who offered a service to disassemble them and remove the TRD and Pro logo plates. Wonder if that’s possible at all on these, not that I’d want to disassemble my brand new $2000 worth of lights if I bought them.
A black overlay that blocks them out is probably the smarter way and if it can be done cleanly then I may be in line for lights eventually.
If I could just disable the backlight, that would probably be enough for me to be happy. But I doubt that’s easily done as it’s probably tied to the running light circuit inside the housing rather than being its own pin on the wiring connector.
Just think of it as branding. They are TRD Pro headlights.
