    Or you can just buy it pre-made at the factory. 2014 Tacoma SR package has it and you can buy the part from the stealership.

    i painted everything. when you unscrew the bezel from the housing then you will see what im talking apart. only the bowl was untouched because it wasnt part of the bezel and cause i actally want to see at night LOL. if i did a retrofit it woulda have been different.

    EDIT: sorry i take that back. for some reason i thought you was talking about the corner city light. the turn signal is not painted cause its not part of the bezel. only the city light refector is; that got painted.

    Retro with D2 minis would be the best bet. $300 from TRS, arrives in the mail in 2 days, plus there is an ongoing GB on here through Andrew.

    More of a pain in the ass than it's worth. You don't have to cut the reflector bowl with the minis.

    :thumbsup: IF you have a spare set of headlights I would def recommend the FXRs over the minis, but for the price and ease of install I would do the minis, I would take a good 2 days on your first retrofit, and take your time and make sure you have patience.
