Default HID Projector Retrofit

Clear Lens FX-R bi-xenons, Greddy 35w ballast, Morimoto 5000K bulbs, Gatling shroud bought from The Retrofit Source, and done by myself. All of it installed was $400. I was originally going with the projectors in the high beam area's but it looked like the beam was being cut off by the plastic on the bottom of the headlight housing, that's why the high beams are blacked out. Luckily the projectors are bi-xenon so I didn't lose the high beams. I'll get some output pics later.

That looks really good. I've thought about doing that to mine but I'm more than happy with the stock light output (I have yet to see another set of stock headlights that light up the road like the Tundra's).

What grille do you have?

Thanks, yeah the stock lights are bright, and with an HID conversion (still using the reflectors)they are even brighter but I felt guilty blinding other drivers so I decided to pull the trigger on the retrofit which is something I've wanted to try for a while. The grill is a DIY custom job. It's called a satoshi grill mod.

Headlights are sweet bro! And since you have the bi-xenons, the look without the high beam in there looks sweet..No chrome surround..Put ya a strobe in place of it, and call it a day! Awesome job!

Why not just leave the stock highbeam and run dual highbeams? I light up the road as far as I'll ever need with my setup.

When I do this mod, one thing for sure is that I am going to tint out the turn signal area too as in my current lights. I have the LED strip for the turn signal, and have strobes in the turn signal area, so no need to worry about the signal not being seen...Also I will be putting the halos and turn signal LED's in them..Most likely will just use my current lights for the retrofit.

I started this project with trying to put the projector in the high beam area so one side got a little hacked up before I decided to take the safe route. I blacked it out to hide the hack job.

I'll try to get some output pics tomorrow night. I wish it could transform to get through, around, or over traffic!! A missile launcher or laser might do..

No, the fogs are still halogen but I don't use them since I went HID. I'm waiting for V-Led to come out with 5k LED's, or I may retrofit those as well, but I would have to find some small projectors.
