Quick Retrofit question 4th Gen

[RunnerJeff]

Beautiful day here in Southern Indiana, so I am finally doing my second retro fit for my 2005 Runner. I've got a few questions before I start, and I also have to get some supplies from the store.

1. First of all, should I put the CCFL Angel Eyes behind the shroud? If so what type of glue should I use to hold that in?

2. Should I paint the reflectors black, I painted the housing back, I just don't know about the reflectors. I am only doing the retrofit in the low beams (outside lights)

3. For my green demon eyes, should they just be hard wired to a switch in my cab?

Thanks guys, I hope to hear back from you soon!

I don't think the high beams will perform well if you paint the reflector lense black...but it would look cool if you're painting the rest black.

What projector are you retroing in?

I'm putting in the Mini Morimoto H1's. I had them installed already but my alignment was off and then the leveling screws in my headlights broke, so this is round too. I'm also adding demon eyes.

I guess I am old. I do not even know what this stuff is.:redbrick:

use silicone to glue the ccfl and shroud. run 18 gauge for the ccfl and remember to use a fuse. u dont really have to paint the low reflector black, but u can.
