    Output shot. You can see how the driver's side is slightly rotated clockwise. I'll fix that the next time I have a few hours free.

    Curious as to how you would fix this when you already glued the projectors like so

    I was hoping an easier answer haha Mine is slightly off by a degree or so. Doesn't bother me as much, but I want it perfect!

    Haha, mine was the same way. I actually stuffed washers in between the housing and the fender bolt to raise mine back up to level so I didnt have to cut it back out, but mine was only off by a degree or two. The fender bolt is plenty long enough to be able to put about 6-8 washers and still bolt down too. It would be nice if we had a rotational adjustment knob though.

    This is sick. Question: what is your opinion of using tsx clear projectors on a Tacoma retro? I've had them sitting in my garage since two cars ago and glad I still do have them but I realize I would lose high beams with them.

    Is this the same stuff you guys sell on your site or something different? The only reason I ask is that in the last two kits I have done it black vs. they factory grey.

    TRS should have the gray Koito butyl rubber. Be warned, it comes in a block and you have to heat and cut off pieces to use.

    Looks wild with the LED ring on. Makes me want to strip off the paint and tint the shroud instead. Lol

    Do you have lenses like this for the side markers for a 2013 Tacoma? My current side markers are not very visible during the day. Looking for a way to make them pop more.

    Thanks

    Left - Fix rotation issue
    Right - Re-tune cutoff for more color
    Both - repaint shrouds
