    Can you take comparison (before & after works too) pictures? I'm interested in switching to LED lights.

    Yeah. I've seen the Low-beam kits, but wondering what the difference with the high beams would be.

    Are you running the full Morimoto HID kit? I wanted to buy one but I already have ballasts that are only a year old from another company. Just bought the Morimoto H11B bulbs to run on it

    Weathertech front floor liners, window vent visors. Custom bedside decals. OEM bed mat, tonneau covrew. Added D rings to bed.
    My wifes 2012 prius V had factory projectors and had "glare" like this above the cutoff and like in post number 9, when she was close to a wall. When she was not right against a wall it wasn't noticable, and she never got flashed by oncoming drivers. Stock projectors, stock bulbs and everything.

    So I installed the VLEDS 5000k 4500 lumen leds in my high beams! I took the led bulb and match up the depth with the halogen filament when I tightened up the base of the led bulb with the set screw. Here are a few pics of it at the daytime on a piece of plywood! I will get some night shots shortly!!

    Stock halogen on the passenger side and led on the driver side!

    I'll get some night shots shortly, just about to leave the bowling alley and grab a bite to eat and head home. I'll get some somewhere on my way home!

    Question for TRS….How hard is it to separate the headlight lenses from the housings and swap projector lenses for better cutoff and color flicker? Is this an option you are looking at providing in the future? I'd love a full bi-xenon projector swap to be a plug and play affair like you had for the gen2 Tacomas and just override the factory high beams. LOVED my mini-D2S setup from you guys on my last truck!
