    I'm struggling to find what amount of work goes into replacing the stock Halogens in the projectors with HIDs. It looks to me like you would just have to throw a different bulb in, no?

    I bought mine with it done by prior owner. Really nice cutoff, he said install is extremely straightforward.

    3" toytect lift, Magnaflow, TRD intake, Xenon depot LED fog and high, HID low beam, antidark underhood lighting, LED bar mounted in grill, Ram mount phone mount, 20% tint all around, BFG KO2 275/70-17 on SCS Stealth 6 Silver wheels, Nfab side steps, Weathertech mats with TRD tags, Vintage Toyota shifter, Carista software tweak. Sprint Booster, LED drl upgrade.
    It's not a bad install. I went with Xenon depot hid in my low beams. Most difficult part is finding clean mounting area for ballast. Then just tightening up the wiring. Makes a huge difference compared to stock. 4d99e47540cd073464496c336df126bb_7c00499d5c842c2b1c1eea4a94c1a10ccdd62fac.jpg

    Forget HID guys, I installed something called Broview LED headlights. They are really amazing for me. The reason I bought it because I saw there are a plate part beside the low beam leds, this pretty layout let I get a good light pattern. And I saw the same design on philips H4 halogen light. The plate part blocked a part of light emitted from the left side, it will effectively avoid glare oncoming traffic. I will post a pic later.

    Post a pic of the output. Everything I've seen, HIDs can't be beat

    You will find that the left lane darker, brighter on the right
