    Got my projectors put in yesterday and I'm super stoked with the results. Big shout out to @hyper15125 for making an awesome product and being super easy to work with. I HIGHLY recommend

    Thanks guys. Yeah I love em. Worth every penny for looks and performance. They were built with black housings and Panamera shrouds which I wired to the parking lights. They turned out great

    Although they look good both ways, I prefer this look. He already had these built so it was perfect timing

    Properly designed and built projectors like those are the only way to fly! Hopefully some of the idiots running plug-n-play HID bulbs in their stock housings will take notice.

    It's ok. My own son had a set in his car for a while. But somehow when I was washing it, they fell out and broke.

    When you do get and install a proper HID Projector retrofit, you will not believe the difference. And oncoming drivers will thank you.

    They look really good on your truck man. Saw the post when he put them up for sale. I'd be all over them if they were all blacked out. But that set up is exactly what I want, but all blacked out to go with my blacked out look I'm going for.

    Nice job and glad to see you got them installed. Kudos sir! :thumbsup:

    Beam pattern is spectacular. Very very nice and clean looking setup. Could easily trick a non-tacoma owner that they are factory lights.
