    Same thing I have at the moment. Great light output and cutoffs.

    Thank you. Is the rx350 the only other projector worth upgrading to from oem? There are a lot of Morimoto projectors on the TRF website that are cheaper than the rx350’s so I’m just curious

    OP may have more on this but the RX350's are direct bolt in with a tiny bit of trimming. They are an amazing upgrade. There are a lot of new quality projectors coming out and Morimoto makes some quality products so you may have to do some homework and contact The Retrofit Source or similar company to find out what fits.

    The rx350 is used because it’s a bolt in solution. It only requires a small bit of trimming and is a great performing projector.

    So I pay the $320 you send me a set and I send my high lights for you to mod for someone else correct?

    Ended the year with a good set. Bhlm, switchback halos and switchback drl’s.

    24ACDD48-1736-4BAD-B23F-B6935AF35D1A.jpg

    For anyone that is wondering all sets with halos/drl’s/demon eyes/anything wired in with the drl’s will all come with a soldered/heat shrink’d harness using the factory drl connector so it is all plug and play. The only thing you need to tap is the turn signal wire for switchbacks, wire taps are included!

    I won’t be taking any new orders until 2/1/19, just need a couple weeks to get caught up!

    Did you see that thread for the parts for sale I tagged you in? Good price.

    Hey Kevin - not trying to be argumentative, just trying to share my experience with videos helping me thru things I've never done before. I watched the video link you shared - my concern is at the 3:00 mark in video, https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...ont-winch-bumper-install-instructions.446516/ they simply pull on the bumper and make it look easy to pry off. Maybe I just have bad luck, but I did the same as shown in a different video and that's where part no 52116-04070 (driver side) and part no 52115-04070 (passenger side) snapped. Not an overly expensive piece ( $70 for pair) but I thought still worth sharing to save someone a few bucks and frustration in having to order part before being able to finish install.

    I did, nothing I can really use. The projectors have stock lenses and the bulbs/hid kit aren’t exactly what I like to use. Thank you though!

    I actually used the pictures/write up in that thread for a guide the first time I removed my bumper, and atleast 10 times later I’ve never had an issue. I’ve never watched the video. I just posted the link to try to help people out since I’ve had quite a few people ask me for tips removing the bumper. Hopefully people see your comment and are extra careful at that point!

    Kevin -hope you don’t mind me asking another question on this thread. Many wise members on here...

    My builder clips the DRL connector immediately coming off of the headlights. I had Diode Dynamic Switchbacks installed. From my understanding, the Driver that came with the DD DRL then connects to the wiring coming from the truck.

    I was hoping for plug-n-play as much as possible. He originally did not send the connector, just got them today. image.jpg

    Not enough left to pigtail into. Can I pull these out and insert new wiring?

    UPDATE:
    image.jpg

    Just wanted to share I was able to get some help on how to remove connectors.

    Looks like you can probably just have enough to extend that and push it back in.
