    Everything is SOLD!!!!

    TW,

    I'm cleaning out the garage and have decided these parts need to go.
    Located in El Paso, TX.
    PayPal preferred, but local cash deals are an option

    ---

    1) ARB Bullbar indicator lamps (turn signal / marker lights). $35 shipped CONUS.

    I replaced each pair of bulbs with LED variants. The turn signal / DRL bulb is an amber Sylvania LED and the marker light is an amber LED projector bulb that I think I purchased from Superbright LEDs (it's been about a year). It's a good look. The amber marker light matches the OEM Tacoma amber marker lights on the side of the headlights perfectly. I'm a bit OCD when it comes to wiring, so I sealed the back of the housings (where the wires connect to the housing itself) with black RTV silicone and I secured the wiring looms with heat shrink tubing. The wires are sheathed in corrugated tubing and the pigtails terminated with Weatherpack three-prong connectors. I can build the buyer two 4' pigtails - with matching Weatherpack connectors - for an additional $10, or you can simply splice the existing harness into your setup.

    2) IPF Dual Beam 900DB Driving Lights. $150 shipped CONUS.

    I picked these up in a trade and never installed them. The lights are used, but in great shape for being a couple of years old. I have a set of DBs on my Tacoma and love them! They are very bright and have excellent range. Essentially the 900DB is IPF's H4 round headlamp in an external housing. When I installed my DBs I built my own harness, so I will be including a BNIB 900DB wiring harness along with the original box and installation manual (all pictured).

    I will mark each set of items SOLD when they are no longer available.

    The IPF900 is a dual beam H4, basically headlights in an external housing? That's cool and the price seems good. Interested but the timing is bad.

    Yes, they're stellar driving lamps; probably one of the best options if you desire a set of halogen auxiliary lights. I've run Hella Rallye 4000 (metal) lamps and a 31.5" LED lightbar on my Tacoma - the Dual Beams (DB) win hands down. I also installed a set of IPF 960 driving lamps on my last Jeep Wrangler and, in my opinion, the DBs out perform the 960s despite the much higher price tag of the latter lights. As an added bonus, the DBs use the same bulb (H4) as the OEM Tacoma headlamps, so that keeps things easy and uniform. I also like the classic round driving light look on a bull bar.

    Like I mentioned in my OP, I have a set on my Tacoma and intend to keep them there for a long time. I built my own wiring harness and utilized a dash mounted OTRATTW 3-way ON/OFF/ON switch to control the HI/LO beam function. The switch is powered via my OEM headlamps.

    -Up on the switch and the HI/LO beam function on the DBs mirrors my headlamps (when the headlamps are on).
    -Off (middle) the DBs are off of course.
    -Down on the switch and only the HI beam function on the DBs mirrors my OEM headlamp HI beams (this is my preferred setting for DD duties).

    The two additional HI beams give me more than enough focused light for my needs - especially out here in the desert where there are not many street lamps. They're invaluable on the long, straight highways and two-track dirt roads in the area. I would estimate the range to be around 400m.

    I'm sold, these are the lights I want. :) Hopefully you still have them when I have cash, but GLWS if someone else is lucky enough to grab them right now!

    Yes, this is a great deal. I'm not sure why ARB/IPF does such a poor job advertising these lights - they're a great product. I guess they've thrown all of their advertising eggs into promoting their new Intensity LED lights (which are made by Rigid BTW). I just cannot stomach spending that much dough on a set of driving lights for my weekend warrior Tacoma.
