    i sold my 2009 tacoma a while back and i still have a brand new set of headlights that i retrofitted. this was my second time retrofitting these type of headlights in my tacoma.
    i used the ballasts for another build but the lights themselves were un use for about 60 days. i ended up selling the truck rather quickly after i put these in. the reason they are new is i had a set of smoked lenses previously that got messed up and i decided to go clear the 2nd time.
    so i bought a new set, put the projectors in and then 60 days later ended up selling the truck.

    the morimoto bi xenon kit sells for $150 but you have to do the retrofit yourself. and you'll also need to buy the Spyder lights, take them apart and swap out the projectors.
    i think ebay sells the lights for $175 so by the time you get everything you need you into the project 350 + bucks. (plus shipping)

    i am asking $120 for the assemblies and the only thing you need to buy are ballasts ($110.00) and a harness ($35.00)
    http://www.theretrofitsource.com/co...moto-3five-dsp-hid-ballasts.html#.U7dWOhZUNOc

    and the harness which are 30-35 bucks (ask the retrofit cust service which harness is best for you)
    so for a total of 230 + 35 + shipping = $280.00 ish (depending on where you live)
    you can upgrade your truck with real Bi-xenon without baking the headlights open or messing with anything. the whole kit is plug and play and the lights are already aligned for you.

    the lights i have are exactly like these with the CCFL (the brightest halos you can get)
    they are in perfect condition! and ready to install.

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/FITS-2005-2...2009|Model:Tacoma&hash=item1e8d9d809d&vxp=mtr

    if you want actual pictures of the headlights i am happy to text, email and i also have pictures i took when i removed them so you can reverse install with step by step pictures.

    so if you've been thinking about this mod, but didn't want to spend the money or didn't think you would be able to tackle it on your own i already did the hard work for you.
    if you can work a socket set and screw driver, you can install these headlights.

    These seem more like eBay lights not morimoto retrofits

    A number of TW members have successfully retrofit the Mini-H1 into eBay housings because they liked the look but wanted the better housings.

    Advantage is you get the proper high-low operation of the H1 projector and a good pattern.
