    Since you have done this before I'll ask you. About how long should a person set aside to do the h1. From removing the headlight to re-installation, roughly speaking. I have avg mechanical skills but have never done anything like this.

    My first time i did it I started at 10pm. Got them pulled apart, sprayed them and let them sit overnight to off gas. Went to bed at 12. Then spent a few hours the next day getting it put tofether and aligned. It's totally do able in one day. Most time is spent waiting for the paint to off gas.
    But for he first time id start at night and then finish up the next day. so probably a night and a good part of a morning to do

    You might want to post that question in the regional thread for Hawaii Tacoma owners. It seems you guys have much different inspections down there than most inland states. It would be awful if you spent the time and effort to put them together only to fail an inspection.
