    I loved using this kit because you attach the 3 in pad to a drill and that saves your hands big time from wet sanding.

    500 grit (gold disk) / 800 grit (white disk) / 3000 grit (grey) and then polish with the supplied orange cutting pad.

    I've got some meguiars headlight coating on the way so i can make sure it doesn't fad immediately

    Reached out to Andrew and Ambiguous and after some back and forth i settled on this kit. The output from these are supposed to be sick. 4 Bi-Xenon low/high beams are gonna be a massive improvement on the stock halogen setup.

    I bought some used GX470 off FB marketplace for 120$ shipped and remarkably i was able to separate the old internals without damaging the tiny plastic piece that holds it all together.

    BXBuilt had a coupon code for 20% off as well so i had to cash in while it was active :cool:

    Painted the internals black and they'll cure for the next few days until this stuff comes in. Looking forward to getting it back together.

    The tiny tan pieces that have to be preserved or you gotta buy a whole new set of headlights (my cheap ass wasnt going to do that lol)

    Update:

    Still havent installed the projectors since i got done spending almost 8K in the tacoma getting it a new engine and ready to wheel at GSMTR in TN next month lol.

    The front end had a terrible squeak, ended up being a bad spring tensioner bearing. Replaced it and we are good as gold.

    It's done boys. I refinished the headlights and got the GX back together.

    All in all it was a month long journey. Came out looking great!

    Next for the GX are brakes.
