    I will try and see if I can make a video with my phone. But it is very simple.

    1. Disassemble bulb by twisting from "lock" to "open".
    2. Pull Bulb out from base.
    3. Place rubber boot in between bulb and base.
    4. Re-lock the bulb to base with the rubber boot in the middle.

    Let me know if that works or if I need to figure out the video function on my phone lol. :)

    Please post a short video!!! I think it would help others that are new truck owners. From your instructions sounds simple enough though.

    Thanks for the help!

    For those of you that have the HIDs, do you think the pictures do them justice on how bright they are? I got some 6000k on their way, I have seen pictures but how much blue comes through really, I doubt the pics are that accurate.

    I would be confident to say that most of the headlights with blueish tint that you see on stock cars would be 6000k

    Attention Buyers:

    All the orders were placed yesterday morning. Today all the kits will be shipped out to be delivered to me. Should only take a few days to get them. I will let you guys know the day I get them and you will receive a tracking # once I print out your label to be shipped. :)

    I ship out via USPS Priority Mail. With you being so close you will probably get them the next day.

    Attention Buyers:

    There is a small delay on getting the kits. The 3000K bulbs held up the order a little but I will have them in my possession next week and will ship them out the same day that I receive them. I am very good at getting them all boxed up and to the post office asap. I apologize for the delay and thank you for your patience.

    Yea I know the precautions. I always use protection ;)

    For replacements hid bulbs do we just pm slim? Just incase one dies or I don't like the 6000K and want whiter bulbs.

    Hello Slim, I just joined Tacoma World and just stumbled upon your group buy ending this evening. I am sure I joined before the 15th but was obviously not looking this direction. I was wondering if you have room for one more member. I want a set of HID Bi xenon slims I believe for my 2006 Tacoma double cab! I wanted a light set similar or better than my Porsche that has the following for lighting:lows HID D2S and Highs are H7 bi xenon.
    If you can work your magic and slide me in I will get you my particulars immediately and pay through paypal also rt away.
    My name is Trevor Jenkinson and if you can MSG me with your answer here is my e mail:
    Trevorjenkinson@rocketmail.com
    I am sorry to have replied so late but I was reading all the tech forums and other stuff until I stumbled upon this. I really want a set bad and I hope you can accommodate me.
    Let me know.
    Kind Regards,
    Trevor
    If you can
