Toyota Tundra: Aftermarket Headlight Reviews

This article applies to the Toyota Tundra (2000-present).

When you're out driving in poorly-lit terrain, every added inch of illumination counts. It could mean the difference between your Tundra and whatever rock, tree, or wildlife could be out there. So it's easy to understand why aftermarket headlights focus on creating a wider and longer cone of light. They will also last much longer than your standard halogen headlights. But these aftermarket headlights not only give you better projection of the road at night; they'll also look great on your truck.

Retrofit Source Morimoto Mini Stage III (D2S) HID Retrofit

Price – Starting at $294

Bulb Type – Bi-Xenon HID

Brightness – Medium

Size – Small

Warranty – 5 Years

There is a reason the Retrofit Source is one of the kings of universal retrofit kits, and that's because they have an amazing selection of high-quality kits at competitive prices. The Morimoto Mini projectors are some of the smallest HID projectors available. This is important to note because a smaller projector is easier to install into factory headlights. However, that small size does come with a trade off. The mini projectors won't be as bright as larger projectors and some Tundra owners don't think they look as good with the Tundra's large factory headlight housings. Recommended if you're a beginner at headlight modifications and are looking for a great first project.

Retrofit Source FX-R Stage III HID Retrofit

Price – Starting at $315

Bulb Type – Bi-Xenon HID

Brightness – High

Size – Large

Warranty – 5 Years

These headlights are big. They're the biggest Bi-Xenon retrofits available on the market, and with that comes one of the brightest projectors available that projects light over 150 feet away. Coming from the Retrofit Source, you know it's going to come with plenty of options, including optional Halo LEDs and variable bulb brightness. The only problem is that the size of the projectors makes it more difficult to install compared to the smaller headlight kits. Recommended if you're experienced at doing headlight modifications or you're looking for maximum brightness.

Spyder Projector Headlights with Halo LEDs

Price – Starting at $277

Bulb Type – Halogen

Brightness – Low

Size – Medium

Warranty – 30 Days

Spyder is known for making affordable and stylish headlights. However, they do not make retrofits, so this particular kit won't look OEM. Their headlight kits are plug-and-play and require little effort to install. The kit available for the Toyota Tundra comes with Halogen instead of Bi-Xenon, so it won't be quite as bright as other aftermarket kits, but it should at least match the brightness of the factory lights. The real reason to get a pair of Spyder projectors is for the added style and the included Halo ring LEDs. Recommended if you're looking for an affordable and easy way to get Halo LEDs.
