    They are in the works. The jewel eyes are very complicated to fit in the Tacoma housing. Plus new adjustment pivot points will need to be fabbed to retain the cutoff level adjustment.

    These lights would be much easier;
    Design and CNC a bracket to bolt all 4 together. Bolt said bracket into Tacoma bucket. Cut off back of bucket and housing, make new cap.
    Sounds easy, right?

    Just 10 years of use.. They looked light crap so I refinished the outside, but I realized there is some damage on the inside too from the high beam

    Not as bad as my stepdads old 4Runner. The high beams melted all the way through the plastic on both sides

    Wouldn't there be worry about heat? Seems like you'd melt those plastic lens covers...

    @mesojdm Could heat output be mitigated with LED projectors?

    Maybe for the lens but for the rest of the housing it will burn hotter. LED's are hotter at the base on average. Might need to add a pc fan to the housing if the heat sinks are still inside the housing though I doubt they would fit.

    ^yeah...I've decided against this. Even though 4 highbeams per side would be total awesomeness,, the heat that would generate form Quads would Kill the front lens. Hell, they couldn't even keep them from melting in the DRL spot.
