    we are working on what should be the first for the Tacoma and about a handful of these retrofitted into other vehicles.

    This is an LED projector that is low beam and high beam.

    It will look the same as any other retrofit except it will be LED with no wiring or bulbs required strait plug and play.

    We will have this set done and put on our truck for testing this weekend and pretty excited about it.

    Notice no bulbs :). Won't need harnesses and the ballast it will come with will already be prewired and mounted on the headlight

    Advantages
    -Plug and Play no extra wiring required just take your old lights out and put these in (still extra wiring if you decide to get LED halos or demon eyes)
    -Super fast instant light
    -Low Power Consumption

    Disadvantages
    -Output less then HID projectors, this is really the only disadvantage and we captured the output in the pictures, these are unedited pictures and are true pictures of the output like you would see with your own eyes.

    I would compare them to our Basic Mini H1 projector without the need for HID kit and wiring harness.

    Be cautious mounting the LED driver on the plastic headlight bucket. Mine got pretty toasty sitting on the bench during testing, so I mounted them to an aluminum plate and to the body of the truck.

    How do you think the internal fan will do being it's in a sealed enclosure?

    Got mine done too! The fans are pretty loud, but once in the housing you can't hear them.

    This is perfect for anyone that just wants to plug in and go! No wiring harness required and everything is on the headlight so no extra stuff in the engine bay.

    Nice I'm sure that was fun :) for output I still prefer HID but for less parts and easy install these are the way to go

    Not too bad. I <3 the raw output of HID aswell. I just figured I'd give the I.lens a shot due to the simplicity of wiring/etc. And I'm a sucker for anything LED

    Nice retro. Do you notice these tend to have a brighter/more focused hotspot than conventional HID projectors?

    Yes up close but hot spot is just one factor as you know. They lack distance and width that you'd get with an upper class projector
