So I'm a huge fan of HID lighting, done quite a few conversions so far. So I got high quality E code Autopal H4 housings and a 10000k Bixenon HID kit. They are a piece of cake to install, just plug and play..... Here is a couple pics of the light output and color...

Those look relly good. Nice modern option on an old truck.

Where did you get the housings from? I need a couple of sets.

E Bay, bout $40. They are the best I've found. They give a nice sharp cut off. Those cheap housings just "thow" the light out, no direction at all. These put it where it needs to be.
 
I have done this mod on a few cars for people. Can you post a link to the Ebay seller you used? A HID conversion is one of the mods I still have to do on my 88 I am restoring:) I will be doing a 4800 to 5000k bulb that is about the same as what came factory on my S2000

Cool....I have a K&N drop in filter in the OEM air box that seems to work pretty well but, I do plan to build an aluminum air box that will pull more cold air.
 
We need to make a sticky thread for classic DIY mods. And put all the good stuff in it. I'm going to have a few DIY mods coming up, whenever a get my truck back.

Moderators help us out!!!

I totally agree, every year we lose more and more vendor/aftermarket support for the 1st and 2nd gen 4runners. It won't be long until you have to either be or employ a full time fabricator to keep yourself in parts.
 
No, you do not need them, you already have a composite style head light. To do a HID conversion. All you need is a good HID kit (bulbs and ballets) and you are good to go:)
Yep, thanks puddydad, you are correct. just figure out what type your bulbs are and get that kit. Plug and play from there.

I see they moved the "ads" thread to our forum.

I have read through some of the archive pages and alot of questions are about wanting performance and diy aftermarket mods. We could even
have diy maintenance in the thread.
