    Hello Guys,

    Any suggestion on HID headlights for my 2013 Taco V6 TRD? I did some searching on this sight but it seems like I am more confused now than before I did the search. Any help would be appreciated.

    You're going to want to retrofit projectors into your current headlights, or just buy a set from one of the makers on here. If you just stick HIDs into your stock housings, it won't help at all, I've tried. Projectors are 100x better.

    If you can do it yourself you'll be looking at $200+ for good components, if you buy a set you'll most likely be looking at $500+.

    You can buy your components here if you want to do it yourself.

    Agreed with Carson. I had HID and the output of the light is just every where. It's really hard to aim the lights. Go retrofit if you got the money.

    Check you local laws and make sure it is not illegal to do this in your area.
