    So I'm seeing if anyone has bad luck finding after market head lights?

    If not, does anyone know of someone who would do the BHLM locally in phoenix or flagstaff? I don't have the patients or time, otherwise I would

    From what I have seen nothing really. I have been looking too. I also am on the fence on doing a full blown retro fit, just can't seem to pull the trigger on the price.

    See it's not the light I'm worried about, it's the look. I don't want chrome, I want black haha

    I wouldn't mind buying the retrofits
    But I don't have a spare set of lights to experiment with....

    also I live where there is a lot of moisture so I don't wanna ruin that either

    Not to mention the price of oem Toyota assemblies are $$$$$$$$$$$ ! Best price I have seen so far is $500 for a pair. From what I have heard the aftermarket sets are really not that good of a choice for the retrofit.

    The quality of aftermarket headlights is never equivalent to OEM . Pay someone to do you BHLM, must be someone local to you on this forum that could do it .

    Oh I agree about the aftermarket assemblies being lesser quality. I am not sure where the op is located but there a few guys on here that do the bhlm and or the retro mod.
