Headlights!! for 2005-2011

I want those in the second picture. where can I find them?

 

If yours are still clear (not fogged) then $15 BHLM!
Or search black Tacoma headlights on Amazon and seal them up with silicon when you get them.

 

what is bhlm?

 

Black Head Light Mod

 

Retrofit

Mini d2s all Morimoto parts bulbs etc. They make my led pods useless they're so bright the only downside is they're expensive

 

Pay for what you get. My only issue with retro is the solenoid issues I've heard of with the same bulb used for low and high beam

 

On the older stuff yes. The newer generation projectors don't have this issue at all. Different solenoid design

 

how much?

 

I think I spent about $450 not including the headlight housing to build them myself but it's not uncommon to see already built ones around $1,000. I'm building another set for myself with some updated stuff and these will be up for sale soon

 

I also drive a 2009, I went with these. I reviewed the product, you can see the pic i posted.

Any chance you could share with me where and what exactly that you purchased to do the retrofit yourself?

 

I’m also interested in headlights, and have an idea but need some advice. I saw someone else who painted the headlight casings on oem style projectors (pictured below) which I like. Only problem is I don’t want to waste 150+ on headlights and mess up re-sealing them. Any recommendations on safer ways to go about it?

 

Why would you put projectors on an off road truck with a crisp cutoff that will bounce around and leave things above it black

when you can flood the road with a higher power incandescent bulb thrown out with large sized reflector bowls that performance cars are simply too small to fit
some people go farther and get a stronger harness to support a higher wattage bulb
but some stock wattage bulbs still offer more lumens

 

I like the cutoff line. Lightbar for real ligts at nice (alone in the boonies). If I did anything these days, I would justy go laser.

And I have no idea why they are saying it'd not a dual beam. I guess "technically" it is, but there's a solenoid operated flapper to accomplish this.

Here's a little info on them, and some about retrofits.

Rdit: Pasted the wrong loml

 

So many choices, and to each his/her own, but for me, color matching the OEM headlights is the only way to go.

 

I'm going murder out haha. Your truck looks good, and now I'm reminded for like the 20th time I really wish I had splash gaurds on my windows.
