    Gentleman,

    I have a 2014 Taco, however I want to replace the headlights with a halo look, or demon eyes however they're called lol. If anyone could provide me with the name of some that fit in the 14's and would just need to be installed I'd be greatful!

    Thanks!

    The retrofit source. Best place for projectors/ hid. They also have halos and different shrouds that can give the "cool" lighting effect. They also have an ongoing group buy, so check that out and see if they have what you need.

    Are you looking to retrofit your headlights and adding halos and/or demon eye effect?

    Edit: What Moe said ^

    Gym_jamz I know this is pathetic but I have no clue what any of that is, I am just looking for a bad ass looking set to upgrade the stock ones I have. I figured it was as easy as ordering them online and having someone install them, I think might be wrong though ;)

    I am not a big automotive guy, I am a outdoors man who spends most of his time out in the field hunting and etc. but this is something I've always wanted.

    Unless you build them yourself, you're gonna spend between $1k-$2k to buy new ones complete. I would look into other lighting if your out hunting.

    For single projector hid's that have been retrofitted typically run around $500-$700 depending which projector/ assembly used. That being said you can save yourself half that and do the work yourself. It's quite easy if you get the morimoto mini. Since you need the light output I suggest going the retrofit route because putting hid's in a stock housing doesn't use the light to its full potential like a projector does. Also, there are the housings you can buy on ebay that come with projectors already installed and those run around $400 I think. The thing with those is the light output isn't very good.

    So if your looking for the best head lights to provide the best output then a retrofit with good projectors is the way to go. If you just want the looks of a projector then the pre-assembled hid projectors from ebay might be cheapest, but I wouldn't recommend it.
