Post your 1st gen retrofit (01-04 only)

Was it easy to wire a switch to the halo? Is there any chance you have a diagram of everything?

 

Where did you splice to parking lights? And is cutting DRL necessary?

 

This is what I just finished up.

 

look sick!! whats the output look like? never seen those projectors on a 1st gen tacoma before

 

Really good! They turned out fantastic actually. Crisp clear line right where it’s supposed to be. I keep forgetting to take a beam pattern pic but I’ll try and grab one to upload tonight. I was surprised they turned out so well. I also am running a 35w 6000k LED for my low beam so that helps.

 

What parts did you order and where from? I have not seen anything like these LED retrofits before.

 

They are low beam only

 

Hopefully that means you like them @JasonLee. I ordered infinity Q45 7 lens projector’s off eBay. Also I grabbed some 140mm Chip-on-Board green LED’s off superbrightleds.com. Finally I topped it off with 2 part epoxy, epoxy clay, and JB weld along with primer, paint and clear coat all from the Home Depot. Also I had a small bottle of touch-up paint from a previous project that happened to be the same color or too close to tell. (Both are glossy black)

 

Yes they are. There’s some bi-xenon Hids but I wanted to stay LED’s for a while to keep temps down. Have some more retrofits in the works to get those high beams back

 

This reminds me of the Cy-bugs from Wreck it Ralph.

 

I'm looking for do a retrofit on my Tacoma. Did you use the Mini-H1 or Mini-D2S?

I've used the Mini-H1 in my Integra and Civic.

Hey, I didn’t use any of the mini’s. I actually used some stock projector 7 lens’s off of an infinity Q45. The bulbs are however D2S LED 35W 6000k

Required lots of cutting and epoxy to basically rebuild the Tacoma headlights around the Infinity projectors.

 

what configuration are you running for the retros? looks great

 

This is my junk yard budget build on my 03. I initially had some modified e46 projectors on there with clear lenses from a non hid BMW, which had a beautiful cutoff, but I wanted high beams. So I opted for the morano since they have a relatively small footprint for bi-xenons. Everything is from pick-a-part, with the exception of the clear lenses and harness from retrofitsource. Altogether costs was <$125.

 

whoa dude that is rad, pretty similar to what i was thinking for my truck. clean af

also going to be putting together my headlights Soon. Does anyone have suggestions on how to seal holes on the housing that needed to be drilled for wiring? Pics appreciated

 

Are these D2S with Apollo shrouds and 2 halos 100mm and 80mm?

what am I missing?

 

I like those
