    I just ordered these headlights for my 2007 Tacoma off of ebay..
    I paid $160 for them and I'm wonderding if I have to also purchase HID blulbs and if I do what would be the best looking ones. If I have to order the bulbs I'd be looking for the ones with the blue-ish tint. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

    Thanks I appreciate that. I have Silverstars in my headlights as of now. Do you think I would be able to run those in the new Headlights I ordered?

    I believe that the ebay ones take H1 bulbs...at least that's what mine are, and the stock bulbs are H4

    ebay ones are different bulbs i have the ones you bought, and to be honest the output is good to me, not saying there as good as a retro fit but they are equal to stock in my eyes, im running 6000k hid, stay away from 8000k way to blue and visibility is worse

    Hahaha I know what you mean! I was looking that these exact one's until the guys at TW here told me to go to the TRS. The Retrofit Source is where its at! I just got mine in the mail and im putting them on as we speak! Haha but to answer your question it is an H1 bulb, and blueish tint is 6k for the HID

    Kevin, I put 5K's in my ebay lights...if you can wait, i'd see if there is a round 10 group buy for the retrofitsource (TRS)...you can save a bunch (25%) it would bring the projector kit to about $250

    sorry...miss calculated...cost to retrofit with H1's would be $202 +shipping

    My headlights will be here tomorrow, I have all the wiring preped for the l.e.d parts of the headlights. Will I be able to put my silverstar bulbs that were in my old headlights in the new set?
