aftermarket projector headlamps

[Cable Guy]

Can anyone recommend? I keep seeing the same pair all over the web, just branded differently.

Have you checked XenonDepot ?

re: projector headlights

They have the same lights I'm referring to. They're on ebay also, just priced cheaper.

I am looking into this as well. I will let you know if I find anything out.

Cable, are you wanting the entire headlight housing w/ projectors, like the 06+ 4Runner headlights? Or are you wanting projectors only so you can do a retrofit?

I imagine he is talking about these aftermarket ones:

Those are the ones. Any info. / feedback would be appreciated.

Personally, I think these things would be ok if they didn't have all of the extra crap on them. I guess, an optional "halo" light ring would be fine, but the extra little leds and all that just clutter it up and make it clash with the rest of the truck IMHO.

Honestly, I was bummed about that too, since I'd love to get some good projector headlamps for my '04, without having to deal with the seemingly un-fillable triangular gap left behind on the front of the 03-05 models when retrofitting with 06+ factory units.

Oh well, guess you can't have everything.

So I guess my feedback on these would be that they are a bit "over-the-top" for the 4runner, although admittedly they're not as bad as some of the aftermarket lights that I've seen.

i bought those, then took them off 2 weeks later. The light output is terrible. It was def a step down from stock. I ended up getting the 06+ headlights, trim, and a $65 HID kit, and called it a day.

Where did you buy the "trim" is it painted? There would be a triangular gap between the grille(03-05) and the trim below the 06 headlight, will the 06 grille fit in there now?
Thanks

I ordered the trim pieces from partznet, about $75 with shipping for the pair. You are correct in that there is a triangular gap. My truck is black so you dont really notice it at all, looks almost like it could have been designed that way. On lighter colors, such as white, it might be more noticeable. I think others have tried putting the 06+ grille on the 03-05 to solve this problem and it did not work. Try to find other threads etc. though that discuss this. I only read one guys attempt at it.
