Anyone familiar with retrofitting?

I am wanting to buy new housing for headlights and retro fitting some projectors...i found some but im not totally sure if they would be the right size or anything...i have a 2002 taco so if anyone has ever done this just let me know if what a good size is and what i need to look for...these are the lights ive found...........http://www.amazon.com/Bi-xenon-Proj...JHP4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1326694239&sr=8-1

my friend did his 01, maybe this will help you out

 

Yeah it helped a lot! Thanks!

 

theretrofitsource.com has everything you'll need. hidplanet.com has all the info you'll need. See my build for my retrofit, end of pg 1 and pg 2.

 

Alright thanks! and yeah yours gave me the extra push to want them haha

 

But is there any other place i can get some for cheaper? like what size do i need? i was looking at 2.5 for a good price with halos but that website is a little more than id like to spend

 

They aren't vehicle specific, hence the word retrofit: "An act of adding a component or accessory to something that did not have it when manufactured."
TRS makes the Mini h1's...they aren't just casually sold around the web. Stick with ordering through theretrofitsource. If you don't want to worry about cutting/aligning go with the Mini h1's. Also check the hidplanet forum classified section, TRS is having a "garage sale" with some projectors for cheap. Iirc they have the mini h1's for like $60 a pair.

 

Or you can just have me do them for you

 

Retrofitsource is high, but the products/customer service are worth every penny in the end. Their kits are top of the line and not too bad to install... if I can do them I'm pretty sure anyone could. The biggest thing is just taking you time and doing it right the first time.

 

Alright thanks! and i guess ill order those when i get around to it! and how much would you charge? haha i mean i could do it but you have experience with it!

 

Yeah i could take my time but i dont have a job and my parents wouldnt let me order 300 dollar headlights plus housing and having to make them and modify them haha

 

Could you maybe send me a link to the mini h1s? i cant find them...and also would i need a mini or normal one? i dont know difference

 

Hey check this link out...would any of these fit? http://www.hidplanet.com/forums/showthread.php?43571-2012-TRS-Projector-Yard-Sale!

 

Any projector would work...just a matter of cutting the back of your housing to make them fit. Then aligning them, then finding a way to mount them. The mini projectors require no cutting, they fit in the existing hole in our headlights and hold in place with a lock ring in back. And retrofitting is far from cheap. You will spend $300 just on the retrofit kit...another $50 on a extra pair of headlights to work on. I'd do it for $100 labor.

 

Dang maybe i should just go with some cool headlights....I mean i found a kit but then would have to buy hid kit and all the other stuff!
