nope, work great and super bright.
Cleaned my cold start injector (It starts at the touch of the key now, used to crank for 3 seconds when it was below freezing).
Also installed LED lowbeams in the stock housings. The low beams are significantly brighter than the high beams now.

My eBay leds have been perfect for a year and a half now
I'm really glad I swapped over to LED. I wonder how I made it to work without them! Did you do LED high beam as well?
Called up my local Toyota the other day to get a price for a t-case rear output bearing and they told me $135, that sounds a bit steep hey..? Told them I'd look around first...

Did you just pull it and clean it with brake cleaner or what did you do specifically?
I haven't done the highbeams yet, but I will once one blows.
I tried to find them but to no prevail. They had everything built into the bulbs and were the cheapest ones I could find. They were about $50

Do the LED headlights just spill out like HID's in a halogen housing?
Do they shoot the beam really far or does it just flood out 50' & done?

I scraped the gunk off with a pocket knife, then sprayed it with brake clean inside and out. I also carefully scraped the hole in the manifold clean with a screwdriver so I didn't contaminate the injector again when installing it. It went from taking three seconds to start (in freezing weather) to taking half a second.
It's a little dirty, they kind of puke light everywhere. You can see 20' up the trees on the side of the road, but the beam is so diffused I haven't been flashed yet. They are not uncomfortable to look at from a few car lengths away. You do get a lot more distance out of them. Better than high beams. I attribute that more to the color than anything. Your eye just picks up more. Especially critter eyes in the ditch and signs. You won't regret it, try them out.
Mine shoot out about as far as the high beams. They have some dim spots but spread pretty good.

Just did this. Took me all of 5 minutes. Didn't notice a difference the first cold start but will try again later. I'm guessing it had to pump fuel back to it after the spray when you take it off.
Upgraded hi and low beam lights with Phillips HIR 9011 bulbs on my 93.
Changed some noisy belts on the LX with OEM belts using the following write up as a guide.
Changing your belts in 25 minutes
For the record it took me just under 45 min.

Installed non-OEM thermostat that I had as a spare (don't judge, I ordered a OEM one and o-ring, and will install upon arrival).
Also ordered all 4 new center caps for wheels (PO said they were stolen), along with rear hatch sombrero, and new bulbs for dash.

I agree with the color, things are much more reflective for some reason. I can see the reflective paint on cops from a 1/4 mile.
