    I assume these will work with LEDs too in the projector lense? I have the phillips ones. If so, add me.

    Reached out and this is what I got back, "As well, any headlight is essentially able to be retrofitted with aftermarket HIDs or LEDs, it is a matter of knowing what bulb size you need (This headlight low beam is H7). We however do not recommend doing so as the manufacturer voids the 6 month warranty due to modifications being required for the rear housing caps. If someone does do the modifications, we simply recommend you to ensure to properly do the install by securing any hole created as you want to ensure to avoid condensation."

    So what I take from that is yes, but with all headlights it's a modification so proceed at your own risk :thumbsup:

    They are one in the same, turn on your light and along with your low beams the LED bars come on.

    Really interested still...I could always black them out. Few other things I'd consider:

    - Clear sidemarkers an option?
    - Black out the LED bars before they build my set?
    - LED or HID... What connectors are they using aka how easy would a conversion be?
    - What do they come with for bulbs?

    They are a production item so I don't know if customization options are available. If you check their website here, it shows you the available options and there really aren't any ones designed for customization. So with that said, they are affordable and if your wanting to mod them up do it! and then post pics for us not ballsy enough to do it for us to admire :thumbsup:

    And for the lights it uses halogen H7 and H1 bulbs with your stock signal bulbs.

    I see. Okay. Yeah I just called them too to confirm, they're just flipping the headlights from a supplier, not building them.

    I really like how they included the highbeam in there. One thing I didn't like about retrofits on tacomas is how bug-eyed they look because the housing space left around the little projector.

    I'll research some DIY HID kits to get an idea of how they install to see if its feasible with these. I'm not against baking them open to black the LED bars out I've baked open headlights before.

    I agree, I think these look very clean, nothing too flashy but I personally am a huge fan of the look. But I know you have some mod ideas in mind which sound rad, just let me know if you want to jump on!

    Looks like these would be just a tad over $250 if we get the 15%. I'd be in for that price.
