    Couple of pics of my retro with the fxr, still going to paint everything black. There's the gap I was talking about, talked to Nate from TRS and he said with the FXR's your gonna have a gap cause there so big. This hasn't been the easiest thing, but getting there. Lemme know what you guys think, and thanks for the help everyone.

    Is this group buy still on? I need to get some Morimoto projectors?

    My headlight burnt out and found info about HID's ..... Can I use the FXR or Morimoto instead of the normal headlight if I do a Bi-xenon setup? I have a Tacoma 2002 (see below image) Will the Morimoto be easy to install or will I need to do some Dremel and Boiling water to take off the lens and might as well get FXR? does anyone have these already installed in the headlight so no modifications are needed?
    Thanks from a newbie,

    Yeah that is a ballast test lead I am pretty sure. I wish I knew about this group buy. Was it 25% off the prices listed in the first post?

    I did not want to read 981 posts, so my question is if you put projectors in the head lights, you pretty much loose you brights. Since i work with laser all the time, i know quite a bit about optics and how they perform. If you have a Plano Convex lens ie... projector headlight, it will only have one focal point, brightness has no effect on focal length.
    So what are you guys using for your brights?

    Edit:
    Good ol YouTube showed me what you guys are doing, the projector itself has a shutter in it. Smart!!
    Now i need to find some Bi-xenon projectos!
