Morimoto XB EVO Hybrid Headlights | '16 - '23 Tacoma

Morimoto XB Evo Installation

Evolutionary: A simple design refresh would have been easy, but that’s not what this is all about. The all-new XB Evo Hybrid headlights are a showcase of everything Morimoto is made of at a price that everybody can afford. From concept to completion. Packed with features that demonstrate a true attention to detail including the latest in technology, compliance, quality, and styling, these headlights are designed for enthusiasts who are serious about all the above, even if it comes at a premium.

Maximum Performance: Thanks to an all-new generation of Morimoto Bi-LED projectors, the XB Evo Hybrid headlights will meet & exceed the highest standards for headlight performance that are set by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety… which is a tough mark even for most modern luxury automakers. Here, the Tacoma Hybrid headlight utilizes the same Bi-LED projectors found in the higher end XB Evo model to deliver unmatched light output, with an incredibly bright and wide low beam, and a high beam that destroys darkness. All optics are powered by the latest OE-grade automotive LEDs from Nichia in Japan.

On Road: The Morimoto XB Evo Hybrid Headlights are DOT compliant with all FVMSS108 regulations for on-road use in the USA. Their projector optics are so capable and efficient that their LEDs are only driven at about 50% of their full potential intensity to avoid exceeding limitations set by compliance. The vertical aim is fully adjustable within +/- 6 degrees for a perfect alignment on any Tacoma, even with a lift. The system was designed in California by Morimoto’s lead optical engineer, Yoshi Ishida, to deliver maximum visibility, comfort, and safety, and that it does.

Off Road: Yes, you read that correctly. Out of the box, XB Evo and Evo Hybrid are only producing a fraction of their potential intensity for compliance reasons. Want more light for your off-road adventures? The optional Supercharged LED boosts both low and high beam intensity by approximately 30% -- all without sacrificing reliability or warranty. It also adds the welcome-sequence to the DRL and projectors that doesn’t normally appear on the Hybrid version of the headlight. While the Supercharger system easily enables the XB Evo to outshine every other headlight for the Tacoma on the market, we must reiterate that they will result in non-compliant levels of peak beam intensity, and therefore should not be used on public roads.

DRL Optics: The turn signals and daytime running lights illuminate glass-like TIR-optics with special surface textures, which enables maximum intensity from all viewing angles. Easily out-shining low-tech optics found in most every other aftermarket headlight, they also provide a one-off look with the bespoke topographic pattern etched into the sidewall.

DRL and Turn Signals: The daytime running light illuminates in a crisp clear white color that perfectly matches the LED projectors. Thanks to their impressive optics, the amber turn signals are also incredibly bright and operate in a solid flashing pattern with an elegant fade-off effect. Sequential turn signals and Amber DRL settings are not available for the Evo Hybrid version of the headlights.

OE Fit & Installation: The XB Evo Hybrid headlights are expertly crafted to match all OE specifications to ensure perfect fitment and hassle-free install. They will bolt onto the original mounting points and line up to the surrounding sheet-metal without any massaging, and then plug into the factory wire harness and then work without errors on the dash, flickering, flashing, or radio interference. Thoughtfully engineered for a modification-free install. No factory warranties void. No headaches.

Well-Built: This product is completely designed, engineered & tested in the USA by the Morimoto team to meet the high expectations of our customers. Nichia LEDs from Japan are used throughout. All wiring and connections are OE-grade. When it comes to UV protection, OE Toyota headlights are industry-best, which is why we’ve formulated a new hard coating that exceeds their standard for resistance against cracking, fading, and yellowing lenses from UV exposure. The list goes on but as the saying goes: you get what you pay for. XB Evo Hybrid headlights aren’t cheap, but they are built to a high standard and should easily last the life of your Tacoma! We’re proud to stand behind the product with an industry-leading five-year warranty. If something fails prematurely, we have you covered.
