    DO THIS MOD, i did it myself, and i've never done anything CLOSE to this in my young life. It's not bad once you start, just read the instructions and if you ever have a question(i had a metric shit ton,) there are PLENTY of ppl(myself included) that can sort you out.

    I've had these since Feb and i'm never going back to halogen again!

    Anyone experience the headlight housing turn a bit brown at certain area after baking in the oven?

    damn you LOL I just called Andrew and he said the easiest set up for my 2013 double cab
    would be the mini H1 with either apolo or orbit shroud

    ive installed plenty of HID's before but never done a retrofit. I was told with this I don't have to cut the back of the headlight reflector. am I dreaming here?

    The d2s require some grinding either on the reflector bowl or the metal adapter plate for the bulb.

    Yeah, savings would surely increase if I could stop logging on to TW. Haha. So if you order tonight we should be down to just 2 more needed. Let us know if you pull the trigger.

    So I've done BHLM on a few different vehicles and it's actually pretty easy. My biggest concern now is color choice. Thinking of color matched MGM bezel with satin black reflector bowl and then MGM projector housing. So many options.......
