    This.

    A good company is being supported by these buys.
    Think of it as when Pep Boys puts oil filters "on sale"

    TRS isn't going to set something up as an ongoing GB that's going to cost them money.
    It also gets more people attracted to TW... and my favorite part... for every person who installed one of these retrofit kits, there one less moron with plug-in HIDs in their stock housings blinding other drivers.

    Does anyone know how I'm supposed to get this jagged edge out of the cutoff line?

    I got the lights at the same height now (after this pic) but I want it to be a straight cutoff line, not jagged. any help?

    Lower the right one and aim it slightly to the left

    That's (kinda) what it's supposed to look like.

    The cutoff is below centerline on the left, and slightly above centerline on the right.
    This prevents oncoming drivers from being blinded, but it casts more light farther on the right shoulder to help see animals, pedestrians, and turning vehicles.

    Just lower your right headlight to align the low and high cutoffs.

    No.

    That will result in the beams crossing and oncoming drivers will be blinded by the right housing.

    The center of the cutoff should be EXACTLY centered in front of the housing.
    If the bulbs are 60" apart (Tacoma is somewhere around there, not sure exactly), then the cutoffs should be 60" apart as far out as you can measure.

    Well that makes sense. I already lowered the right light, it was just after the picture. Thanks Rich

    I am personally glad that TRS does not make you have more than 100 post because I am new to TW and honestly found out about you guys off researching discounts for h1 retrofits. I am very happy I did find out about this forum cause I recently bought a new 13 tacoma and have found a lot of useful info off the site. So far this is my truck its still a work in progress. hope you guys like it!

    X2, Just became a member... recently purchased a 2011 SWB DC from another member, still have a 2010 DC Prerunner that I will sell once I redeploy. But just looking at all the threads I have a lot of plans for the SWB when I get home!!

    Need to have the image hosted online like Photobucket, or you can upload as an attachment, right click, copy location, then paste it into the "picture" icon on the message menu bar.

    We'll verify the person is a valid and legitimate member and not one of the many that just searches google for coupons. That's all.

    and I think that is perfectly fair. Thanks!

    So basically if you're doing the right thing and not trying to cheat the system, you're good. If not..well no retros for you at this good of a price :D
