FS:FX-R Retro/Mini Retro

i a

 

If you were up in NorCal I would send out my 2012 for retrofit. What's the turnaround time? The taco is my only car and I need the headlights to drive...

 

I want to see what you are up to with the 5 sets you just bought... Any teaser pics? just started mine today.

 

probably see my pics this weekend

i've torn 2 pairs of headlights the other weekend and modified the bowl already... It's just waiting for someone to order before i paint (if needed) and mount the projectors..

I have about 3 more pairs that i need to do the same so i can get ahead of the orders

 

planning on doing any 2012 tacoma headlights anytime?

let me know...

 

whenever they start selling them! unless you can go without your headlights for a while

 

Can the lens be changed on the housing if so how much? mine is kind of yellowish and I want to keep oem

 

the lens can be changed on the housing however i do not swap them out with one of my own.

have you tried cleaning/restoring them?

 

I did but it didn`t come out too well

 

which one did you use?? I hear 3m works reallly really really well..

But back to your question, i do not have spare lens to swap out with yours, Sorry

 

How did the clamps work out for you when resealing the headlight back together?


Any idea of the size of hole I need to make in the reflector to mount the FX-R projector and Gatlingun shroud? I know I will need to trim the shroud a little for a custom fit.

 

clamps? they work perfectly fine.

as for the hole, i dont go by a certain size although if i remember correctly ppl use 2 inch? theres a groove/pattern that i go by when making the hole for the projectors...

as far as the shroud goes, i trim the inner ring so it can sit flushed with the projectors ... at least as much as it can... i also use the black shroud rings to help give it a snug fit onto the projectors... dont depend on that snuggness to keep the shroud on the projector... i add JB weld

 

TY

I appriciate the help. I thought it was 2 in as well.

 

Any thoughts on securing the CCFL ring on the inside of the shroud? I could always drill holes in the side of the shroud and secure the ring with fishing line. The on-Line install guide shows this method securing the CCFL to the front exterior of the shroud.

Here is a pic of my problem.

 

all i see is that ... LOL

 

I see it pretty well. LOL

If you are at work it may be blocked.

Look at it tonight when you get home and are relaxed. i am not in that big of a hurray. I am taking apart the donor headlamps now.
