Anybody running projector headlights?

I've been looking too, and there seems to be two styles of projector headlamps... so make sure you get the right ones. When you search eBay, take a close look at where everything is positioned. You'll notice that the projectors on socolax91's and mjp2's trucks are different than the ones on 2006nightrider's truck. I personally like the the projector placement on 2006nightrider's truck. It makes it look better when you put that TRex eyelid covers on there. Here are some projectors with 6000K HID's... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...0150192060&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK:MEWAX:IT

 

Those look cool! Are you ordering some?

 

I can't decide! I'm glad some guys posted pics of their setups so I can see what they really look like. I just really wish there wasn't so much extra LED lighting going on with the whole assembly. It just makes it look like too much. This is why I'm a fan of the TRex eyelid covers, because it covered up most of the extra hooplah. I was really looking for that BMW headlight look, but the LED's make it too "ricey"... anyway, I'll probably just do the HID 6000K conversion with my stock headlights.

 

I totally agree. I wish there was just a simple black projector kit without all the racer stuff...Love the cutoff the BMW lights have. Thats is what I am wanting most of all...

 

here...i just bought these ones today for 150$. so hopefully ill have pics up soon. im too good with this electrical stuff so i hope it works out. the installation is a "plug and play" so hopefully its easy. check these out. black looks cooler but dont think itll work with my truck too well.

how do u replace normal bulbs in a projector kit with hid's? is it hard? do u have to change the wiring harness or anything complicated? how much does a good set of hid's run? im just looking for something brighter than stock haha

 

They look badass, but I've heard the beam pattern blows..

 

These are better (I have these) they are just plug & play ones http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2005...370f1d0c&_trksid=p4506.c0.m245#ht_4241wt_1167 they come in black or chrome.The ones you ordered you have to wire them on.

The beam pattern is very similar to your 4 runners pattern actually.

 

I doubt it man... Aftermarket vs OEM, there's not much of a comparison. Just because they're projectors doesn't mean they'll be the same.. But then again to make a real legitimate comparison we've have to sat them side by side at night with the headlights aimed down the road and then compare..

 

OEM Projectors such as ones from a TSX, S2K, BMW, etc are going to have MUCH better quality than the ebay crap. The cutoff line is much sharper and the beam will be brighter on the OE projectors.

Has anyone actually tried to retrofit aftermarket projectors into the headlights of a Tacoma? When I black mine out I think I'll take a look and see how difficult it would be.
