    Hey guys i am really set on putting some new projector halos on my 07 taco. I have been researching anzo and spyder brands but am wary about the reviews. Some say the lamination comes off after a while, the lights are prone to water leakage, leds go out and many other quality issues. Have any of you guys had dealings with these lights? What are your experiences? Also what brands do you recommend for an aggresive projector halo look? Thanks very much!

    Have a custom set build. @LSC15 can help you with that even though it's expensive it's worth it.

    Buy the design you like. Buy a Mini H1 7.0 retrofit kit from TRS. Do a retrofit.

    The projectors included in any aftermarket headlight are crap. That includes Anzo, Depo, Spyder, etc. They're all cheap halogen projectors that often have worse light output than your stock headlights. The best way to get those designs and have good light output is to do a retrofit, or buy from someone that does retrofits.

    My suggestion would be to buy a FX-R or Mini D2S and retrofit them into your current headlights. They have a large number of shrouds to choose from, giving you the custom look you want, as well as different types of halos (including RGB, switchback turn, etc).

    Thank you for the suggestions snowbrdd. That was actually one of my concerns as ive had projectors before on a mustang i owned and the light output was lousy. Are there anymore website references i can check out to learn more about retrofits? I would like to do it myself cause spyders are the only brand i like the looks of so far. Thanks for the help!

    HID planet is where you can find many comparisons between different HID projectors.
