I found it, and read it, and can honestly say that I was sad when I got to the end. The same sad I get after the last bite of a Frosty from Wendy's. Its over?, bumrash. I guess its like a guy watching an adult film, in the end you're just touching yourself...and your headlights still suck.

Your work is clean, Grade-A-RickAshay. I'd like to send you some extra business but it looks like the late 1st Gen Tacomas came with plastic lenses. And I dont know if the durability of plastic lenses merits a source upgrade. Plus, if I got serious about projectors I'd be asking you questions like The4kbeast asks about suspension components (which I think is a good thing). And I dont want to have to be killed for asking too many questions.

Thanks for making the world a better place.
Hahaha that's a funny post! Sorry I didnt see it sooner.

Hey no worries, plastic lenses are actually better for projector retrofits, we're just stuck with the glass on our 3rd gen's. All of the newer lenses are in fact, plastic and are much more durable than the glass plus they can be re-finished once they start to "haze." PM me if your interested in getting something going for your Tacoma!

UPDATE: I just polished off another set of 3rd Gen. 4Runner headlights for a customer. They turned out pretty cool so I thought I would share:
