    Hey guys,

    Well I sold my tacoma finally and am in the market for a new one. So I was looking at the BHLM of many tacos on here and noticed that there are so many different variations!

    So show off your BHLM variation! Pics encouraged!

    iPex Headlights seem to have some cheap but stealth looking ones. Just gotta seal them up again.

    Heres a few to get started

    You should just get a retrofit done. Then you can run all black...

    Awesome start! Thanks! Also pertaining to taillights anyone ever heard of these things?

    AVS Taillight covers - Only thing I want to know is light output but besides that they look badass!

    A few things
    So do you guys just take the headlight apart and basically spray everything black except the actual reflector bowl? Sorry I'm new to this mod.

    Yep! Unless you retrofit the headlight, the reflector bowl is crucial to light output

    Here is my BHLM that I just finished up. I'm personally partial to the chrome reflector bowl so i mixed it up and painted my shrouds Magnetic grey to Give it the same effect but with a different twist.
