HID lights

Hi everyone

I want to install HID Lights on my truck but don’t really know what’s a good set up . I have a 17 Tacoma . Any suggestions?

If this is posted somewhere else please let me know . I wasn’t able to find anything .

 

Check out the HID section of this thread:

I have XD HID's in my low beams. XD LED in my high beams.

 

Another thing to mention, something I had wish I known when upgrading to HIDs is the "HID shake". I had it BAD when I put in the phillips 4300k bulbs I ended up switching to 5000k bulbs, a bit less output and that helped me notice it a lot less. The housing in the tacoma has some play, so with the brighter lights you can really notice it going over bumps in the road, especially offroading.. I was out last night at dark on a dirt road and yeah, its annoying to say the least. Some people have it worse than others, just something to consider.

 

Dam really ? I just want my lights to be bright but i don’t know if I can deal with the shaking .

And thanks for the info everyone else . I’ll look at those post .

 

It is true, it is a problem with the Tacoma projector, covered in the thread posted earlier.

 

I have DDM Tuning’s HID kit. No issues whatsoever or shaking.

 

I am running Morimoto 5500K bulbs with Hylux ballasts purchased from The Retrofit Source. No shaking and they have I great output. Stock highbeams and OEM Toyota Tundra LED projection fog lights.

 

Do a retrofit if you want proper lighting without any shaking.

 

A RX350 projector retro-fit is also at the top of my list to do next for obvious reasons^.

 

You won’t regret it.

 

Second the DDM kit. Ive used their kits for years and never any issues. Affordable kits too. Only shitty part is the shipping time from China.

EDIT: Do that retrofit too

 

I had HID on my Solara but the standard lights on my 2019 are pretty good. Not sure if it’s worth the hassle to change out.

 

Did you just do the led bulb

 

No that’s a rx350 projector retrofit. You won’t get that light output from an led bulb for sure. A full on mled projector comes close but that’s also doing it the right way.

 

Pretty sure I’ll regret asking this but what does that retro cost and who does the best retro work..??

 

I used kustom54lighting and a basic retro is about $1100. That includes everything for the hid setup and painting the housings. Anything extra increases the price.

 

Thank you.
