    So, I've googled and searched with no answers to anyone trying it.
    Since LED's are the future. Has anyone attempted a '14+ Corolla projector setup yet in a '16+ Tacoma?

    I currently am running Opt7 35w HID lows and XB fogs.

    I can't speak to your question, but I do know I hate Corolla headlights with a passion that makes Braveheart look like monotone, black & white cartoon. Every Corolla I've ever seen has blinded me as if it's intentionally seeking out my eyes. Every. Fucking. Corolla.

    If you do get those lights, make sure to kick the donor car in the nuts a couple times for me.

    We already hold the patent for replaceable laser bulbs in the US. We're going to be at a very prestigious automotive lighting conference next month showing it off.

    Aside from that, the Corolla has unique trapezoidal lenses, so it won't work here. The Murano uses the same projector but a 3" lens, which would be the same as your stock projector.

    Another option is the new MLED Bi-LED projector I am running a prototype of in my FJ. It should be available in January and will outperform every other single optic LED projector on the market today.

    Corolla LEDs are low beam only. You'd want the Koito Bi-LEDs like the 2016 Prius has so you don't lose your high beams

    Just to also clarify and state publicly: HID projectors still perform better than the MLED. We will not hide or falsify this tidbit of info.

    Nope. Can't do it really. The LED in corollas is the whole headlight not just a bulb. Having a corolla it was the first thing I missed with the Tacoma. That said I run Opt7 LEDs in both my headlights and fogs and they are comparable.

    You can tell a corolla is coming just by how much your being blinded. they must actually all come with the headlights aimed way to high.
