Looks real good!
Im wondering if you noticed much light loss by doing it? I really like the brightness on my lights as I have some night vision issues. Did you lose much from what it was originally or not even noticable to you?
Thanks

BTW. anyone else having veiwing issues on this page? I keep having to slide the page side/side to see it? I adjusted the zoom ect.. but its still messed up even at around 50%? Just this page it seems or is it on others too? Is it my vision screw'n with me since Im talking about it being bad? lol

Get your socket wrench and take that sucker off...
Okay, I've been trying to get this last bolt out and I simply can't get it off. I've tried using a screwdriver head and a 10mm socket and I can't get either to seat on the bolt so I can unscrew it.

Any tips so I can be successful?

I'm trying to get the headlights out so I can do the Mini Morimoto RetroQuik Xenon swap.

I considered taking the front bumper off so I can get access to that bolt... but I failed at that, too. I referenced the .jpg file here and the fail happens at step 2d in the Removal section. I'm sticking the taped screwdriver into the seam and prying it open (pushing down a little... creating probably a 1cm gap or a bit more) but I don't see how it's going to release.

Anyway... if anyone has any tips I'd be grateful... I have tomorrow to get this done. Or if you live in the Edmonton (Canada) area and could help me out that'd be super awesome and I'd have to buy you pizza or something.

Thanks.

Wow this is awesome. Was just about to spend $200 on new headlights. Considering doing this instead!

I blacked out my headlights about a year ago and noticed that there was a little condensation inside the glass a few weeks ago. Must have not sealed it back up properly. I ended up just buying a set off of Amazon that were already blacked out. I got them last night and noticed that the glass is also smoked a little. I think they look really good, much better looking than the originals.

Here you go: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Had to do a little opening of one of the parking light tabs, but wasn't a big deal. Other than that, they fit and look great

I have an extra set of 06+ projector original Toyota chrome housings if anyone wants to pre-paint them so that this would be a simple swap out procedure. Shipping them is not gonna be cheap, but if you're interested please send me a PM with an offer. Thanks.
