Drafting up this post as a guide/resource for new aftermarket headlights as they start rolling out.
For me the biggest reason to look at swapping headlights is the appearance. The stock ones don’t look bad, but aftermarket companies usually nail it with sharper DRLs, blacked-out housings, and different lens designs that give the front end a way more aggressive look. A good set of headlights can completely change the vibe of the truck. The TRD Pro headlights are already a solid option but I love what some of these 3rd party companies have done with the 5th gen.
Performance is a huge plus too, better projectors or LEDs can help at night, especially on the trails.
Curious to see what brands drop first and how some of the designs are going to turn out compared to OEM.
At the moment I am only seeing AlphaREX come out with their NOVA and LUXX series which are both solid options: https://alpharexusa.com/collections/toyota-4runner-2025
Is there any brands we should keep an eye on? Anyone currently running aftermarket headlights?
