jag00035,
I have the 2006+ projectors because it came w/ the vehicle, but if I didn't have it, I wouldn't bother getting them.
Because they are expensive, the projection isnt that great & the beam pattern isn't sharp.
I would do a retrofit. I've done a TSX projector retrofit on a Lexus SC300 before.
And I'm sure you want them to look OEM like nothing was done to it...I'm the exact way!!
I included some links for you to check out...

...there's also pictures of HID Kit, TSX, S2K & LS430 projectors on 4Runners.

Thanks for the advice, K.C.
Unfortunately, I don't have the know-how or skills to retro-fit the projectors into my headlights. My plan was to get the 06 headlights and then get an HID kit so it wouldnt have the glare the 05 headlights would with the same HID kit. Does that make sense? And is there any way to cut down glare from the HID's on the 05 headlights?

Putting an HID Kit into 2003-2005 & 2006-2009 headlights both give you glare.
For both, you need to lower the headlights.
For the 2006-2009, not only do you lower the headlights, you have to do the Squirrel Eliminator Mod.

And since you have Halogen Projectors & NOT HID Projectors,
you'll end up having a Squirrel Finder.
Not a problem if you have Halogens, but a problem if you have an HID Kit.
Squirrel Finder
Squirrel Finder is the little box above the cutoff line when you turn on the headlight.
The Squirrel Finders will produce glare to oncoming traffic specially if you put HID kit in the 06+ projector style housing.
On-coming cars will flash you, because they think you have your high beams on.

not sure what keywords you searched but I guess the searchid's only last so long or are only accessible to the users who enter the search.

I did not realize it would only last so long or only work for the original search person. I was just trying to get people to use the search feature more.
