    Howdy VIP, what you did with the white Tacoma was amazing! Sad to see it go, it was an amazing truck! but also glad to see you joined us folks on the 'dark side' with the great new truck! congrats man! Cant wait to see what you do with this one!


    As far as headlights, the best you can buy are H4-4 real dual hi/lo beam HID.
    True Hi/Lo HID is the only way to go!

    Thank you man that means a lot! This new one doesn’t have a cool story behind it tho.:rofl:

    If I had projectors I would definitely get HID’s! I eventually want to do a Morimoto retrofit but thats years down the line. Old man Matt has sold me on the UHLM
    Buenos dias señor
