Factory or aftermarket? Anzo aftermarket is what a ton of folks around here go with.

I went with Anzo Switchbacks and used Forscan to set the parking lights as DRL. I also installed Diode Dynamics switchback bulbs in the turn signal/parking light. With this setup the white LED outline on the Anzo's and the white switchback parking light are my DRL's, and when I use the turn signal they both turn amber. I also used Forscan to disable the hyper flash after installing the LED's. Here is a link to the switchback bulbs I used. https://www.diodedynamics.com/switch...-150-pair.html

I was thinking about a change until I found out the "light tube" that makes up the DRL are not replaceable. When they burn out you have to replace the entire fixture.
But they sure look nice!

All aftermarket housings with LED planks/halos are going to be the same way. Even the OEM LED headlight housings would have to completely be replaced if any of the LEDs died.

The Anzo look nice . what head light bulbs are y'all running ? I like the look of the LEDs but I have had those in m 03 and the output down the road was horrible . I go to work at 2 am and drive a back country road to get there and need to see the deer before the jump in front of me. Before anyone says " get you a light bar" , I really don't care for those at all.

In terms of actual performance, isn’t the morimoto the leader?

Correct. But the OEM are under warranty. The aftermarket are going to cost $$$$ for a replacement. Can you even buy one? And not have to get the set.

Depends on what you buy. Morimoto ones have a 5 year warranty on them. OEM would only have a 3 year warranty on them. So the Morimoto would have longer warranty and cost less.
