Retrofit Builds for Tacos

thought i took this when they were gun metal.........

 

i thought this was posted in this thread. i did a similar build a while back except kept the bowls chrome

 

How much for the red set the way they are ? Shipped ? I got some oem I can throw ya to make another set

 

Almost all the sets I post here are builds for other people. Posting them to give you all a visual or an idea of what you want yours to look like.

 

Gotcha man is there any way you could point me in the right direction I’ve got a spare set and I k ow I’m gonna paint the shroud red just don’t know where to go from there .

 

these will be posted in the For Sale Forum soon. they will have all wiring, 6k bulbs and ballasts to complete this kit. will be painting them black as well

 

simple build:

Morimoto Square Projectors w/square Apollo Shroud
Restored Lenses

have you used this shroud before? i have it and im going to be setting up demon eyes with it. my biggest concern is the amount of light that will possibly be coming from the back of the shroud, if any.

just kinda looking for some insight on it. ive got a 12v setup coming soon so i can test everything before i set it up and then seal it back up.

thank you.

 

At this point I have not, but it’s the choice for an upcoming build I will start as soon as his parts arrive

 

simple build:

Acme Mini H1 with Mini Gatling Gun Shroud

 

Do you have any experience with the Tacoma specific halos they sell? I'm trying to figure out the best way to mount them.

I included both ways I found out. I got mounting wire. I think I have to do it inside the bowl, because it seems to mount easier that way, and won't be just floating around

 

Sorry I would never use them or build with them, but I would mount them to the frame and not the bowl. If you mount on the bowls you may have issues when adjusting your beam.

They looks to be about the same size as the open part of the frame so I would use tie wire and secure them at the 3 points on the halo.

I hope it helps.

 

yeah, like i said, i have the wire to hang them with, im just not a big fan of how far away the halo points are from the frame. its going to be like theyre suspended.

i appreciate your input. this is my first retrofit, so its a bit of a learning process

 

I fucked around with my broken bezels and came up with that. Just giving you an idea if any of your future builds ask for these dumb halos haha

 

thanks!! these remind me of wrangler lights..............

 

Any pics of the back side of the lights? What kind of mounting hardware are you using?

You do damn nice work! I’ve done two retros, one on my ‘94 which was easy, the other on my e36 M3 which was more involved. (Cut a hole in the low beam lens on ZKW euro housings and made the projectors protrude through)

I know what’s involved, your pricing is excellent.

 

David does absolutely fantastic work. His attention to detail and the finish on his projects are as if they came right from Toyota.

 

What's your turn around time? Just wondering if I would need to order a 2nd set of lights for a little while or if you would prefer the new depo's to retrofit vs the OEM housings?

 

building when I can
