Projector retrofit?
I ordered all the stuff needed to do a projector retrofit today. My question, is there anyone in the Nor-Cal area that's done this? I'd like to see it in person how it all comes together.

I have but I'm a bit far away from you. It's pretty simple but just be careful. There is a TW mid day in August in Benecia if you want to check mine out then. You can PM if you want some tips.

So I still haven't tackled this project. Since I have so much into it and don't really want to screw it up is there any recommendations on who to send all this stuff to do it?

I know I can do the work, as far as taking things apart, machining the headlight to fit the projector. It's the aiming and the little things that can turn into big things that I'm concerned about.

what kit did u get? if u go over to hid planet forums they have aiming techniques that work really great. if u got the mini's then its really easy. if u got something else like the fx-r then it will be a bit more complicated.

You can always go with @rickashay , but you probably don't want to pay that much. His work is worth it though. Otherwise there was a guy in Redding that was doing them. He is on TacomaWorld and has done quite a few sets. I'll try to get his info for you.

If you find the guy in Redding, post the info please. I'm fairly close to there and I've been wanting to do this for a while now but I'm not too sure about my skills.

Here's his info. Not sure if he is still doing them, but it's worth a shot. His number is in the post, but I don't want to keep posting it so just get it from there. Who wants a projector retrofit? - Tacoma World Forums
