Buy some LED bulbs from Amazon, swap them in 10 minutes.  If you don't like them, swap them back and return them.

Make sure your lenses aren't all fogged over, if they are you'll need to restore them first or it won't make much difference what bulbs you have.
I can't tell if this is a joke after reading all the evidence against LEDs in halogen housings or just wanton ignorance and a real desire to have less effective lighting and annoy and endanger other drivers.
I get the same feeling from everyone of your post. :sry:

I've thrown LED bulbs into 5-6 vehicles.  I aim them on the same garage wall I aim my other headlights.    I love them.

Disclaimer:   I've never done it to a Toyota.   That would be terrible.
See my reference for shooting your IC choke at 3 yards and claiming it shoots the same as a turkey choke.

I put high-grade incandescents in my F150 and have decent lighting and like knowing I'm not one of 'those guys'.

Forget the headlights.
Slap a light bar on and blind everybody.
That's always my plan. :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:

Don't forget to weight down the rear of the truck.

This is really easy on an F-150.

Greatest fear in raising a daughter is the possibility of her bringing some guy home who has LED headlights
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

It's already done on a Tacoma.
Flat, weak springs from the factory....Pretty sure they got recalled, didn't they?

thinkingman,
Guessing here, but pretty sure your stance is against ALL LED/xenon type headlights because they are a bright white light.
Give it a few more years and you will be hardpressed to find incandescent in most vehicles on the road. I don't like the bright white lights coming at me either, but thats where its headed, LED's are the future of lighting. If ya cant beat em, join em.

I tried led bulbs and actually agree with thinkingman, the light was bright but not directed well so couldn't see any better at all. Also be aware that alot of newer vehicles with a can bus electrical system will have faults and fail to correct with led or hid bulbs.

There are cars and trucks with properly engineered LED and HID reflector systems that work really well and are not blinding or offensive to other drivers.
Unfortunately, there are drivers who really want to go for the LED look and don't care how their choices affect other drivers, even with evidence that whiter light is less effective in rain/snow/fog, that's the ones I rail against.
 
It's kind of like gun safety...Saying 'I'll handle a firearm however I want so long as I don't get injured...Screw the rest of you'.

Actually it's her NOT bringing him home.
