    Sweet! Let us know how that goes!

    You can absolutely run Amber only! You'll ground the driver and wire the amber/orange wire to 12v source. leave the white wire alone!

    Ideally, we recommend turning the halos off when headlights are on. Usually the customer will have it on a switch inside the cab. :)

    Ohhhhh. I made an assumption u drove throughout the day. My bad. Carry on.

    And yeah 1 of my Morimoto 35W powered HIDs is sharper than sets of halogens for sure.

    The same shit everyone else has.
    Thanks. I wonder if I can run a ground to kick off the halo when the headlights come on? I dont like the idea of adding an unnecessary switch in the interior.

    And lastly, Im kinda bummed. I just placed my order for a mini D2S retrofit - order #100129418. I applied the Tacoma World discount "TacomaGroupBuy25", in the order along with my screen name. It showed it applied it, but in the invoice it was NOT applied. Can I cancel my order and try again so the discount applies? Or can you adjust the total on the invoice and refund the difference for the TW discount?

    I emailed Andrew about this and I am posting this in here as well in case its seen here first.

    I'm having trouble getting the bulbs to fire. What are the red and black wires that come with the harness for? Halos?

    Switch those and see if the bulb works still. Then try the ballasts.

    Have to select the kit. Not individual parts. Then select from drop downs and select what you want

    Curious... do you know if any of the shrouds will fit inside a 2016 Tacoma headlight?

    I'm wanting to run the 80mm RGB halo as well.

    Yes. That's why it's called a retrofit.

    It did the same thing for me last night...won't display the discout after applying the code. I just figured it was a glitch on the mobile site, was planning on trying it from a desktop tomorrow.

    The same shit everyone else has.
    See my last post on the previous page.

    I had the same issue with the discount. I placed the order Friday evening anyways and emailed Andrew about the issue. I heard back this morning via email and my refund/discount is processing already.

    Stand up company to work with.

    I just checked the order. It is in fact in queue for a refund! Sorry about that!

    They're pass through wires. Some headlights are internally wired. Let us know if you can get the bulbs to fire up!

    For those that are having issues with the discount code. I am looking into it as we speak. You're more than welcome to call in and place the order if you like. Ask for Jimmy and I'll take care of you! :)
