    Completely different but similar quality ballasts:

    Matsushita is OEM Nissan/Infiniti/Subaru. It mounts to many of these headlight housings (mine included) and can ONLY run OEM bulbs. No aftermarket. The igniter is built into the D2S head unlike the Denso.

    Denso is OEM Toyota/Lexus/Mazda. It also mounts to many of these housings (generally inside as literally 0% of the ballast is waterproof). These can fire aftermarket bulbs, and since the igniter is internalized into the ballast box, we can convert the outputs to AMP connectors if necessary.

    We should be at 10 once this weekend's 250+ orders get logged in. Cheers!

    Well that sucks. C'mon people. Pony up and get rid of those fugly stock lights!

    I was driving through Fairfield this weekend on the way to San Francisco for the day and spotted a retro Tacoma. Just made me want these even more.


    Seriously folks, we need 4 more. Just think, your wait time should be pretty short now that we ordered the first 6.

    What are the benefits of the more expensive bulbs vs the ones included with the kit?
    Also is it possible to buy the harness a bit longer?

    Understand that. Lift and wheels/tires were right after my Katzkin. Luckily I made some decent cash off my modded Gen Coupe so I've been able to spend some coin on mods. Probably be slowing down a bit after this one. But, tax refund time is coming soon so...........haha
