I used this video as a guide to install the Morimoto XB Gen 2 headlights and it was spot on. There are some other videos of this install, but this one was shorter and we'll done: it was one of the only videos to explain how to properly pull / peel the sides of the bumper first to remove it once all the fasteners were out. This video gave me the confidence to try this install by myself and it went off without a hitch. Thank you.
This is the most organized video I've seen on KZread... thank you!!

Installed mine today, got them at the Black Friday discount,, look great and install was simple.. few install details to add.. the screw in the back of the lights is to adjust the beams. Some are reporting the the turn signal is hyper speed, and that might be the result of all LED bulbs in the rear, and resister are required, I did not have that issue. great quality lights, Thank You HR
Really great, helped me so so much (along with the official Morimoto documentation) as I installed mine. I am absolutely not mechanically gifted or confident. The forward lighting of my 4Runner is easily twice as good now - getting out on the trail tonight to see under real conditions. I estimate when you also factor in the style points, that these are a 3x upgrade on the stock headlights. Took me all day, but already glad I did it. Time to align them!!

Sadly with my SR5 I’m unable to get DRLs . Have tried both fuse spots the mirror heater and also the INJ and it just doesn’t work . Everything else looks and works as i was expecting . 1st gen low beam illumination works good . Definitely brighter than stock halogen bulbs . But there’s not enough difference if you just put some good quality LED bulbs in the original housing . The problem with the first gen of morimoto is in high beam . The light output is not enough . My truck used to have the original high beam with LED bulbs installed and I definitely miss those .... just for the high beam . They used to work just perfect and were much brighter . This issue has allegedly been resolved in the second gen . Would have loved to be able to change the DRL from white to amber . But there’s no way to do that either . Turn signals are awesome though . Very very bright . They just look very good on the truck

Glad that you like these headlights, but I am sorry to hear that the fuse tap harness isnt working for you! If you just email into us, we will be happy to get that DRL working for you! As for the Gen 1 headlights, they have been discontinued and we are now selling the Gen 2, those got the update on the high beam that I think you though was missing some light output. I would check those out, you might want to dope your Gen 1s and get a new pair of the Gen 2s! Let us know if there is anything we can do for you!

I know this is late, but just in case anyone else has this issue on a 2020. I installed the headlights without completely removing the bumper, therefore not having to mess with safety sense. Just removed one side of the bumper out enough to access the bolts and remove/replace the headlight. Then reset the competed side and repeat on the opposite end.

Headlight Revolution they have about $60 in plastic, maybe $200 in the chips and wiring. I’m all for capitalism. If they get people to pay almost $1200 for these, more power to them. But a smart business would shave profit off a few big ticket sales and go for profit from volume. I bet a lot of people won’t pay $1k for them, but around $800 would probable be a price point that a lot of the target demographic could justify. And at $650, I bet it would triple their profit based on volume. But hey, not my business, but I wouldn’t think twice about buying them at $650, as it’s only 3x the cost of doing a set of Auxbeam high and lows. These lights look good. They apparently perform pretty good. But enough to justify 5-6x the cost of the Auxbeam leds that do a pretty good job? Nope. If I win the lotto, maybe I’ll get set
