1995-1997 Tacoma HID conversion

Hey there everyone,
So I've been searching and searching and I cannot find a legitimate HID/projector kit for the 1995-1997 tacomas. From what I have read it seems everyone has had to retrofit their lights but my question is what is the best lights to get and how hard is it to install ?

 

Bump

 

Why not just buy them from another member? I know there's a couple guys on here that specialize in it.

 

Oh I didn't know that! Who?

 

:/ I'm not sure. I'm trying to search for them but the search engine on the website is pretty wack.

Once I find him, I'll refer you to him. Who knows he may pop up in here.

 

Legit as in legal? U wont find any because if ur vehicle didnt come with an hid option from the factory then its illegal to put them in.... projector or not. Thats across the US..... wether cops wanna bother with it is up to them

 

Didn't know that. Bonus points for the good info.

 

@A7xschecter6661 or @LSC15

 

I did not know this. My old 2000 Tacoma had projectors but it was a kit and was basically plug and play. And I never had any issues with cops or anything like that.

 

There they are.

 

You can buy replacement headlight housing that you can retrofit HID kits into them without much issue, but quality is in the toilet in my opinion. Ebay has some that will bolt right in, I always hate taking out the whole front grill just to replace a headlight in my truck.

 

Iv seen all the eBay stuff, I don't know if I'd trust any of it though

 

Don't trust any of it, most of them have the focus of a disco ball.

 

buddy got some 9003 hid bulb replacements for his avalon. work really well. only about 45 bucks for a kit. got them off ebay.

like these

 

Good for blinding the shit out of others

 

Had your Buddy already retrofitted some projectors into his stock halogen reflector headlight housings?

 

Sorry for all the pics but here are some of the sealed beams I have done. Got some others ones I did too but didnt want to put too many pics

 

There is no specific model year retrofit kits because they are universal. the only difficult thing is finding projectors and shrouds that will fit within your headlight housing.
The retrofit source has the best quality HID parts, but you will have to build the headlights yourself, or buy the parts and pay someone to do it. I believe @LSC15 builds them for your model year

 

no the replacement HID lights just fit into the stock housing. but they're bright AF.

 

@Digiratus , you wanna explain or shall I?
