    Yah that looks nice. Is that with the side markers untouched? If so when and if I do something with my stocks I may do that.

    Did that take much extra work to get those high beams to fit?

    Not at all, they fit in pretty easily. Just make sure you turn them on to adjust the beam pattern prior to sealing up the lights.

    Does anybody know what these tabs are for on the rx350 projector? Is it safe to remove?

    Do you guys know if the 2016 - 2021 tacoma headlights are all interchangeable as far as bolting points? And is the led drl interchangeable across all years?

    Gonna buy a set of 2020 sport headlights with the "L" drl's. I also have a meso led drl board swapped to amber leds, that I plan on installing for bhlm. Not sure what year headlights these came off of.

    Thanks in advance!

    Edit, found my answer.

    Kings, 275/70/17, a few custom items, lots of Meso mods.
    All of the 3rd gen headlights have the same bolting points. The Drl's are all the same on all the projector headlights. The New Led headlights are different.

    Probably easier to sell in the for sale forum.

    What ballasts did you use and where did you mount them?

    I used Morimoto 35w D2S ballasts and mounted them with Velcro strips under hood near the headlights.

    Aight, so didn't use an OEM spec ballast. I was thinking a Matsushita or Denso but it doesn't seem like there is any place to mount them, let alone a dry location. Might just do the same and go Morimoto on mine. Just ordered some Osram NightBreaker Lasers for my RX350 projectors. Now I just need a set of OEM housings for cheap.

    There's no need to go with OEM ballasts. You can find some OEM housings for cheap in the BST section. Just put up a want to buy thread and ask if anyone has some headlights they want to sell. I've seen them go anywhere from $150 - $300 for a set here.

    sadly I am not 30 days old yet so I can't post there just yet. I will just keep checking if anyone is selling.

    I think you can post a “want to buy” thread, you just can’t post a “for sale” thread. You should be ok.
