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

Thinking about doing the wheels and chrome on the bumpers matte black this weekend, opinions? Should I just leave the wheels as is? I don't mind them so much but thought they may look better black.

yes, the bull bar will be coming off

 

That's what I followed

 

Black

 

He didn't even cut up the housing, did he?

 

And speaking of retrofits... After waiting months for trs to get mini h1s back in stock i got impatient and ordered these after reading many good reviews. Quite a bit cheaper than morimotos too. Il be comparing them to older morimotos.

 

Not needed with your headlights.

Just heat, seperate, install, and reseal.

 

Hmm why did you show me this..... I think I better lift the back end of my truck first. Gotta get ride of Cali lean. But maybe after...

 

Don't need to cut as long as you get headlights with butyl in them. Ive done quite a few sets its not hard at all

 

I might end up asking you a few questions in a few weeks/ months. Sorry..

 

They seem to be super bright so far. I have to cut my housings a little because the bowl is bigger on these.

 

Have at it man I'll gladly answer it's twice as easy as you think it is

 

Wish I had that view after school!

It's really not that hard at all. The especially if you not doing halos or anything. I would buy new headlights though that are clear without all the lines

 

Like 10 minutes out of town, Redfleet State Park in Utah.

My problem is I don't know what I need, all the little bits and pieces and wiring harnesses and stuffs.

 

Here is the headlights.

And buy the kit.

Boom done. You need to choose what sealant you want, what shroud you want, and a wire harness. Can't remeber what one you need exactly. Go to the group buy thread and they will know! It's really not hard!

Do some research on Google, ask guys here if you have questions. It's not hard to figure it out all the information is on TW. Just got to look.

 

It'll all come with time. 350-450$ is a lot to drop on lights for me... Even if they would make me get all the bitchs...

 

If you didn't get anything in the kit that cost extra, besides the sealant.....

$282 with the 25% off is $212. Plus the $100 for the new headlights. So $312. They are so worth that as well you will wonder why you never got them sooner! Lol

 

Spend 200 on a lightbar. More bitches, less money. WIN WIN.

 

morimoto is top of the line stuff and i dont think necessary. buy the projectors and you can find much cheaper decent hid kits with the harness for under $100

My first set of retros cost about $175 alltogether. ebay housings, hid kit, shroud, used morimotos.

Upgrading the projectors now because of heat damage

 

ever second car and minivan on the road (almost literally) has a lightbar nowadays. boooooring.
