2017 Tacoma trd pro headlights

@1bad2k sent you a PM.

 

I got these ones off Juan just this weekend

 

Here is my contribution. If you're going to spend the time to separate the headlamps, you might as well perform a proper HID retrofit to gain much better lighting than the factory halogen projectors have to offer.

 

Well go on... RX swap?

 

That's what I was thinking. Gotta move up somehow to a legit projector and a d2s bulb!

 

Oops, I guess that information would help. I installed a set of RX350 Bi-HID projectors with STi-R clear lenses that was tuned by @theretrofitsource. As you can see in one of the photos, they also etched TRD into the lens. Hands down one of my favorite mods I've done so far.

At some point, I'd like to do a full LED retrofit but waiting for the technology to improve before I make that move.

 

Nice. What bulbs you running?

Looks good. What bulbs are those? I have the 4.0s and CBIs sitting waiting. Going to do the shield mod on the projector too and I've considered getting rid of my 35w ballasts and running the Hylux 45w's. I can't wait to see the difference!

 

Let me know if anyone wants some lights built

 

So do you just send them your headlights?

 

I just got this guy too! 30" for the lower bumper opening. I need to get it all installed.

 

Just cut it in half and throw each side in the headlight bucket.

 

Haha super custom jewel eye headlights.

 

That's what I'm running in my tuned RX's. They are just starting to break in and the color is just right.

 

I once installed aftermarket lights on a car to get this blacked out look. they leaked after 1 month, filled with water and stained the inside. junk.
I am thinking about doing this mod to my taco oem lights, but how do you seal these back up properly so that something like this doesn't happen?

 

Morimoto RetroRubber.
Or Bubble gum.. preferably Big League Chew

 

Hit up Orion at Project R Customs! He was more than willing to work with me and tweak my ideas for the headlights until they turned out like this:
And it cost 900 for all parts and labor using my original headlights

 

^ did he use a mini H1 in the high be spot?

 

Yes, its a Morimoto Mini H1 projector. All morimoto parts including the led strip and amber/white halos. The halos are on two separate switches and can be run always on in amber or white

 

Right on

@reece54 I've got a set of "PRO" style for sale in the classifieds. Looks identical, but mine will Blow the OEM's out of the water on performance.

 

Here's a pretty good How To on YouTube.
