Adding HIDs

So how do you change to HIDs? Is it a bulb swap with the OEM headlights? I know you have to add a ballast. Is the wiring just swapped out? Is the factory wiring on a 08 able to handle HIDs?

Has anyone done a write up on doing this mod? I couldn't find one as a sticky.

Thanks y'all

 

05+ Tacomas use an H4 head light bulb.... You can look on EBAY for an H4 HID Kit. This kit comes with everything you need to do a full HID conversion. The kit comes with 2 ballats and that plug in to your factory light harness and 2 H4 hid bulbs that plug in to your factory light housing.... Also keep in mind that with the HID kits you get what you pay for... I would recommend you get a Dual Beam Kit (Means you have high & low beam light) made my McCulloch or Phillips available at www.xenonpros.com they have both kits at good prices with plenty of Kalvin ratings to chose from.

 

It's a lot of work, but here's the best way to do it...

HID reflector housing can also be purchased on EBAY and I'm sure its not going to leak like that one would.. Plus the reflector can be aimed.

 

Looks good though
