    Just finished my LS 460 install so the old set up is for sale. Located in Sacramento, CA.

    All parts purchased from TRS. Currently installed in OEM toyota 2011 smoked headlights with corners tinted black. the driver side has an upper tab that has been repaired. I was crawling over some beams in my backyard and came down on the bumper dislodging a clip inside the housing and breaking the tab. Other than the repaired tab the housings are in great condition except for some bugs from some recent long drives.

    also when i hit a really sharp bump the high beams appear to flicker for a split second. I talked to trs about it and they said it was my harness. I had one of TRS's really old harnesses and i changed the harness out when i changed to the LS460s to the new harness so that issue was never fully resolved. just want to put it out there to let you know i had that issue. it was never really a big deal to me though.

    I am willing to sell the guts out of the housings ready to install in your housings with minimal work for $350 or I can fix the dislodged clip and sell in the smoked OEM housings for $650

    Parts include:
    FX-R 3.0 2.5"projectors mounted to satin black bowls
    Orbit shrouds
    phillips 4300K bulbs
    55W morimoto ballasts (not used on my truck just an extra set of ballasts)
    Optional 2011 toyota OEM smoked housings with tinted corners

    Parts missing:
    Rubber gromet around the bulb ( I have some original tacoma ones that can be modified but the TRS one fits best but i forgot to order extra ones)
    H4 harness

    Output pictures are about 25ft away with denso 35w ballasts.

    Might have some interest, but a bit more info....

    o pics of the lights on against a wall to show the cutoffs
    o pic of the repaired tab
    o only the 55w ballast, no 35w?
    o have you found the harness?
    o what clip dislodged?

    new pictures will be up in a few minutes.

    all that i have for matching spare ballasts are 55w morrimoto's

    harness is long gone. the messed up one i had i threw away and my spare is on another of my projects now.

    the clip that dislodged was the one for the pivot. they are not very tight to begin with. on the LS460 set i just made i dabbed some JB weld to keep the clip from coming loose. (not on the pivot it self just the part that connects to the bowl.)
