Hid's or Projector Headlights
I got a 2012 Sr5 and i love it, just wish it had projectors in the headlights, does anyone know if there is any oem projectors that will fit, or recommend any good Hid's

Well they come together. You would need the projectors to properly use HIDs. Check out the retrofit source for tons of useful info and products. Also there is a great forum: hidplanet with some more great info.

On second thought, are you looking for a set of 4Runner headlights for the 5th gen that already have projectors in them from the factory? If so, I would imagine they are a direct swap.

This is actually my next mod. I'm going with the FX-R bi-xenon retrofit kit from TRS, installed in Trail headlights. I should have this done within the next couple of weeks. 5k Lows and 3.5k fogs.
How many people would be interested in a Projector retrofit kit? I just opened up an account with TRS and can get GB pricing for everything they carry.

No 5th Gen ever came with projectors. You can just put in a HID kit if you want, but the best option is to do a retrofit.

I just went with basic HID's as I couldn't justify paying 2k for a projections since I usually only keep my cars a couple years. Surprisingly, I never got flashed.

Where did you get the $2,000 number from?

I bought all the gear on my own already. Gonna try it myself but just fyi all, ebay has some fairly cheap headlights.
I did a quick search and couldn't find the company I bought it from but they still have it on their website at am-autoparts
Toyota 4Runner Headlights & Parking Lights at AM Autoparts
I have no affiliations with them.
Spare headlights are the way to go!
Edit/update: the company has good email responsiveness (within 1 day) but no phone number contact and they got my order wrong... twice... sent me passenger side non-smoked bezel. If that's what you're looking for then they have it! They also compensated me for the trouble. |

That was just a round off number. I think Philsey on here spent around 1k but he did the install himself. I was thinking around 2k for lights and install. Maybe it would be closer to 1.5k.

It depends on the components you use. I guarantee you can do it for less than $500 easy.

Sweet! These will definitely not cost anywhere near $2,000. I will try to setup 2 different group buy's. One where people can just buy the complete kit without install and another where you would send in your headlights to get retrofitted. I do know we will need at least 10 complete units to get the GB going. If I see enough interest I will start another thread to organize the GB. We will definitely get this done way below the $2k mark, installed.
I will get my set completed first so you can all see the outcome and then start the GB then.
edit: Thanks to Philsey for the tips. :)

Are you planning on doing the retrofit yourself?
