Just received my lights today! I am very pleased with them overall, and rather than make my own little writeup about them, @NoCar340 covered it spot on with his review, my parts were even packed the same way in the box as his

Update: Got my lights installed this weekend, things went very smoothly in my 70 Swinger and I used the relay harness supplied(I want a Crackedback one, but it just isnt financially feasible with the exchange rate ATM). The only mod I did to the harness was to cut the connector out of the main battery wire cause I ran my 10g primary wire from the alternator and spliced/soldered it to the two battery wires in the harness. I could have ran it to my starter relay since I have already done the alternator direct to relay mod, but my relay is getting kinda crowded, so I figured running to the alternator would be cleaner. Considering that my car is a fair weather driver, I mounted the relays to the front of the rad support, and by a stroke of luck there were already two holes side by side perfectly spaced to mount them into, like it was meant to be
Man what a difference! I actually have highbeams now! Cant tell if my dash lights are brighter like Ive been hearing about though cause I have my bezel out at the moment.
The only downside is that since the new lenses are flat and stick out a bit further than oem, the headlight doors/bezels require a bit of finessing to get back in place. Also, there is a bit more wire left over than necessary, but that can also be cleaned up by shortening the factory harness to suit your own routing if a person so chooses, which I might do. Even wrapped up and ziptied to the rad support, I think it still looks good (for now)
10/10 highly recommend this mod to anyone.
And a quick look at the Toyota link shows they are still for sale
