    yea gouge44 is right, thats the hardest part, finding a mounting point for the ballasts...
    here you go.. you need h4 hi/lo's, if you want hi/lo's
    these are regular ballasts, cheaper and i'd go with 5000k
    http://www.ddmtuning.com/index.php?p=product&id=102&parent=85

    these are slim ballast, more expensive, but same thing as above, h4 hi/lo's
    http://www.ddmtuning.com/index.php?p=product&id=101&parent=85

    and you'll need this too connect them to eachother
    http://www.ddmtuning.com/index.php?p=product&id=133&parent=94

    and here's how to install it on tacomas

    they are supposed to last a real long time, they burn cooler than our halogens, so longer than 2 years..and the bulbs themselves are cheap

    go to 55 watts, 8000K Bi-xenon, you will not go wrong. I believe you will not go wrong.
