    Mine come in today from Amazon Prime. I ordered these:
    $69 TYC Right Headlight Assembly Compatible with 2005-2011 Toyota Tacoma
    http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002R1SD7M/ref=pe_175190_21431760_M3T1_SC_dp_1
    $69 TYC Left Headlight Assembly Compatible with 2005-2011 Toyota Tacoma
    http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002R1ZMLM/ref=pe_175190_21431760_M3T1_SC_dp_2

    I was happy with $107 shipped 2 day. Kept reading online that the TYC and Depo are the best.

    Not bad at all! I ended up getting a set of OEM ones for $100 shipped. I'm hoping I can either BHLM them or install projectors for someone local and make my money back.

    Nate is playing tricks on me, toying with my emotions :(

    Dear Tacoma World GB Participant,
    Thank you very much for your participation in the latest group buy on the Tacoma World forum!
    We would like to let you know that although your order have been marked shipped as of today (10/3/2012), they will not be shipping just yet. We are waiting on the latest batch of our shroud centric rings that make super easy for you to install your shroud choice on your retrofit.
    We very much apologize for the delay and appreciate your understanding. It will just be a few more days.

    LOL! Ok, for the sake of this mod, you are lucky ;) It's going to suck having my truck down for a couple days to do the mod properly. Just want to take my time and get it done right the first time. Guess I'll just kick my wife outta her car!

    If you went with the D2S minis, unless you're painting them also, you can have them torn down and back together within a day. If you're painting also, I'd leave them overnight to dry so they don't off gas in the housing and fog up your lens. I plan to have mine done in a day, that's as long as my fiance will allow me to take up the kitchen :D

    Yep, doing the BHLM while I'm at it. Can't decide if I want to paint the reflector bowls as well. Probably will.....

    Everyone who used R10Taco25 got the email, regardless of what you ordered. Some kits leave today/tomorrow, so if you don't use centric rings, check the tracking # later this evening! :)

    Thanks again guys.

    I just bought a pair of cheapies for $102 shipped, not sure which brand tho. I really only want them to swap in for my stock ones while I mod those (ive already BHLM them). Maybe I wont even use the ones I ordered, but if I do hopefully I can keep them in good enough shape for the 30 day return policy :D:D

    Yeah, mine are the TRD OEM tinted ones so I really don't want to BHLM those as they are worth more than the bright chrome ones.

    When you guys say let the paint gas off by drying overnight...is that good enough? I thought we were supposed to put it back in the oven for a few minutes after painting. Is letting it dry overnight good enough? Thanks

    The "gassing" time for most paints is the complete dry time. Most are 24hrs.

    Putting them back in the oven after painting works wonders! It's both to 'brun' off the gases, dry the paint but it also smooths the paint out, smooths out overspray and can help smooth out runs. I would highly recommend putting the lights in the oven after painting. It just makes for great results!
