What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

Haha ya.. Im thinking of doing another one with a legit game ball, I just got that ball cause it was like 2 bucks while the game ball was like 20.. It was kind of a sample run

 

Same here..I also bought a set for my front parking lights but they are way too bright..back to orange it is

Retro's = check

everything else, on my list= uncheck!! LOL

I love your wheels btw!

 

got my retros in..



this seems to be the go to forum, maybe someone can tell me why the light is so slanted on my headlights? i feel like i need to spin the projector in my housing but the lock rings make it so they cant turn...

 

What brand are those? And with retrofits can you put any bulb in them? Like the stock h4 housing?

 

looks like they aren't angled right..obviously. lol. sorry i'm no help..i got mine and they had been angled already.....did you do them yourself?

 

I was wondering the same thing..i have 8k bulbs but I am reluctant to try them out. don't wana mess anything up.......my retro's came with 6k bulbs

 

Those things look nice on your truck man. Wish I had got a chance to put them on mine.

 

Do they have to be hids? Can you use halogens?

 

You snooze you loooose!! lol..jk..thanks again sir! they are great!!! Great price too

I am pretty sure you cant use halogens with these

someone correct me if i am wrong please

 

Hey I am just glad to see them getting used. I am thinking about getting a set for my mustang.

 

i have no idea about the bulbs, yes I did them myself, i guess i just find it weird they are both at the same angle.

 

Where'd you buy the projectors? Or kit or whatever you bought?? I'm highly considering doing this as I'm blind at night

 

Will do I'm not after the look I just really need to be able to see better at night, I'm not after the hid look.

 

Its because you used the notch on the lock ring, which slightly tilts them because toyota slightly tilts their housings. I grinder my little alignment nub off and aimed them straight

 

Sylvania Silverstars are a very bright bulb

 

I talked to the retro fit source back when i got mine. There is a ring that is suppose to put the projectors level but the way they made it makes the projectors sit slanted. you need to grind the nub of the washer looking piece and align them yourself.

 

Do you know how to disable them? Or do you just like cut the wire?

 

^^ alright buddy thanks a lot for the help!

 

Well, finally going to get rid of my AEM Brute Force CAI and try out the deck plate mod. I took advantage of AutoAnything's Cyber Monday discounts and bought an AIRAID modular intake tube and an aFe Pro Dry S air filter for my factory air box. They should arrive at my parents' house where my factory air box is and be waiting for me come Christmas time. I just need to order a deck plate now and ill have everything I need to do the mod. This way, I should get the same (or at least similar) results from my intake as I do now with my AEM Brute Force CAI, but I'll also be able to close it off when I go through high water or creek crossings. (one day I'll throw on an ARB Safari Snorkel too). I should have pics up shortly after Christmas. CAN'T WAIT!!! OH! And I should also be able to sell my CAI for about $50 more than it's costing me to do this mod with the filter and intake tube included!

 

Thanks...
