    See if he can fit a set of S2000 projectors. I have run them before in a landcruiser and there is nothing better from a light output perspective.
    Caesar is good and he may be able to do it. If not, the 350's bolt right it with not much work.
    The permaseak will suck so let him know they have this on them.

    I will consider that, and no I haven't done it and I don't wanna learn/practice on such expensive lights lol.

    On black Friday I ordered the morimoto d2s 4.0s and CBI bulbs from TRS. Those s2k projectors are super nice though!

    You will be happy with the work! Remember that it takes about 100 hours to burn in new HID bulbs meaning they will get about 40% brighter after 2 months use.

    I was really excited to hear the RX350 projectors are pretty much bolt. The out put photo you posted lookes 1000x better then OEM, the "squirrel finders" drive me insane when I park against a wall. I had the morimoto mini H1's in my old RSX and while entry level they were really good for what they were. Can't wait to do the RX swap!

    Oh yeah for sure. I just got trd pro retrofit back from Rechelon Aesthetics for the '13 and still burning them in. They did TL Projectors with Philips XV d2s bulbs. I love em, ready to see how the 4 hi mod looks with the CBI's on the '17!

    Just as a note- we did an HID retro back in 2006 for my landcruiser and it is still running perfect today. No moisture, only changed bulbs once since then

    S2k's would be dope, but for the amount of labor to get them swapped in.....a tuned RX with clear lens yields close results and is literally bolt-in.

    On the headlights, it is both cheaper and a better idea not to buy the OEM TRD Pro headlights. They are expensive and won't improve your light output.
    Take your existing headlights and retrofit them using RX350 projectors. Then paint the interior. You get 2x the light as the stock setup.
    If you don't know how to do this, either review the threads on this forum and HID Planet to figure it out or outsource the work to HID Illusionz or Lightwerkz.
    This will be the best mod on your truck.

    Citadel truck is sharp, as are the cars, what engine is in the Roadrunner or did you say already, my high school coach back in the day had a convertible GTX, and one of my classmates Dad was a top salesman at the local Mopar dealer and he always bringing cool muscle cars home, he used to take us out and pin us back in the seat, big fun for 10 yr old.
