    Hey guys,
    I am looking at doing a retrofit for my 02 tacoma, and I am pretty sure I am going to be doing the mini H1's from TRS. I've also decided that I want to use new housing to do this, so I am trying to figure out which ebay housing to go with.

    I've read that the major problem with a lot of ebay housing is that they leak, but since I am going to be opening them up and then resealing them, this shouldn't be an issue.

    There are a lot of different kinds on the ebay store, and I was hoping I could get some recommendations on which ones to go with. I've also read to stay away from the ones that have the corners and headlights build into one unit.

    Thunderone (who does a retrofitting service) has recommended these, but I wanted to see what else people have experience with. http://www.ebay.com/itm/131149767857...84.m1497.l2649

    My problem with my ebay headlight housing is it bounces, even though it's tight in position. It has excessive play in the mount. I can see my cutoff bouncing on the road and it irritates me. The OEM housing doesn't bounce, so I'm going back to it.
