Yeah buy from anyone but TEQ I can no longer recommend them.

Another data point for everyone.

I've had my headlights in for about a year and over all they have been great. Light output and cut off are obviously fabulous compared to stock. I did get a short in the passenger side high beam circuit, one of the shutters most likely. I reached out to TEQ, and they had me send it in. Turn around was about two weeks (including return shipping) and everything was/is now sorted. I had no issues communicating with them throughout the process.

Cheers,
Chris

Looks like the Labor Day discount code doesn't apply to retrofit services, so I used the 10% off discount code found by just browsing the site. Order placed today with a shipping estimate of 3-6 weeks. I'll let you all know how it goes.

Just received notice that my headlights have shipped and will arrive Monday the 15th.

I got mine a week or so back and have installed them but have not had a chance to take the time to adjust them properly. The seem to be working as expected - although I think I got the most basic options (no halos or other extras). They workmanship seemed ok at first glance. I will keep this post updated on any longer term issues.

Received my new lights from Lightwerkz on Saturday evening. Just under a 3 week turnaround. I installed them today, now I just need to get them aimed properly. And of course to test them out at night. I think I'll add some LED bulbs to the high-beam location as well. I figure it won't matter for high-beams if they're still in a reflector housing.

Headlights are aimed, mostly. They need some minor tweaking but I got tired of fiddling with it. I drove down the dark road near my house and wow, what an improvement. I forgot to take a picture of how far the light throws. I'll have to do that another time.

Good to hear! I was also interested in LightWerkz and wanted to hear from someone with a real world review. Also, they say the projectors are bi-xenon. Doesn't that imply the the high beam also works from the same single projector? Thanks!

Finally have tracking for my August 18 order. Will update once I get them.

Yes, the projector has an automated cut-off, so when you turn on the brights, they light up the whole world in front of you. I'll add that everything has been going well with the lights so far, absolutely zero issues. Visibility at night is massively improved. I was even able to see through an absolute downpour of rain just a week or so ago.

Lights are in, still working to aim them better. Now I’m at least not blinding oncoming traffic but they are a bit low. Delivery was well beyond stated lead time. Quality seems to be good, though as I type this I’m realizing I didn’t check the connectors inside. I opted for OEM housings with glass lenses. I added a second protector in the high beam location. Since the inner light being lit up is an indicator that my high beams are on I would skip that (potentially, things seem better now that I lowered the aim). I didn’t do any halos or whatnot to keep it simple and OEM looking. I also ordered the clear corners from Impex in Japan. I can post part numbers if there’s interest.

Howdy All...

I just install my set of new TEQ Customs headlights. They use a one piece Depo headlights (they are plastic). They offer a bunch of customizations for each set of headlights (shroud color, halo's and design, type of lights, etc). I opted for a set of chrome shroud headlights with halo's and multi high beam projectors.

The install is incredibly straight forward and the new lights are literally plug and play with the existing harness. The only wiring necessary are for the halo's (which are optional).

I'm getting my new lights PPF'd later this week to give them a bit more protection from the elements, but apparently they come with a manufacturer's UV protection thats expected to last around 4-5 years.

The output is night and day from the stock headlights and the support has been fantastic. I've emailed the owner at TEQ Customs about 6 times over the past few weeks and hes gotten back to me every time within a few hours. They are quite literally there to make sure everything goes smooth and you are happy with your purchase.

Only downside to the purchase is the LONG lead times. They are a small outfit and get a lot of interest from folks. Their lead times are currently looking like 12 weeks, but mine was more like 18 weeks. I wasn't in a rush and it was just a fun/functional upgrade for me so the wait didn't bother me at all.

Feel free to ask any questions or explore the options on their website. If you decide to order a set and you have DRL on your rig you will most likely need to disable them by pulling a set of wires or disabling in techstream (cleaner and easier).

Hey there,
Sorry to revive an old thread. I’m just curious on how they held up over the years?

Any issues with drivers burning out?

Wiring?

Lens covering (yellowing)?

Also did you buy the headlight assembly’s from them or did you provide your own?

Were they OEM or headlight depot?

Apologies for the 50 questions, I’m on the fence between buying lighters or the TEQ system…. HAvnt heard that much negative comments about the Lightwerkz ?but the TEQ seems a little more affordable?

Any other thoughts or experiences you have with them would be always appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I have a set in my LX470 for about a year now and they have been working as expected. One big issue was brought to my attention recently when I took my car for its annual safety inspection. The inspector said they could have failed the vehicle because the replacement front plastic covers (they claimed they didn’t have access to glass when I ordered) don’t have any DOT approved markings as required by law.

If I get a different inspector next year (or any year) this could be a huge headache. Not sure why they wouldn’t use appropriately marked replacement glass.

I’ve been meaning to message the company but with this thread reminding me - I will now.

Installed mine in June 2025.
Shipped out my original assembly as the glass was still in great condition. So no yellowing.
This is not a daily driver, mostly for camping trips but have taken on a few cross country trips.

* Any issues with drivers burning out? They get damn hot and I live in Phoenix. As a precaution, I attached some heat sinks to help keep them cool.
* Wiring? - No issues with the wiring so far. Was a bit concerned from other people's comments.

Overall fairly happy. Had some issues aiming, was getting flashed frequently. But after further adjustments, seems to be better now.

I've had my TEQ headlights for just over a year now. No light issues, no yellowing, no wiring problems, able to adjust aim easily, etc. Overall happy with them.

I’ve had mine installed for about a year and a half. No issues at all. I was also worried about the wiring based on others comments, but it hasn’t been an issue. I sent in my headlights and had them install new glass lenses. No yellowing. I did install lamin-x film on the headlights to protect them. Well worth the money to protect my investment. After a year and a half I’m still happy.

Idk I've been an outspoken opponent to the teq lights because of my experience but maybe my set was just built on a Friday or something

 

[BigBen97]

I’m closing in on a year and really the only thing I had to do was aim them better(probably still a little high). Really happy with the output. No issues to speak of. I purchased the OEM lights with glass lenses from TEQ and had just the main projector and a projector in the high beam area put in, no halo or other LEDs in the housing.
