The $150 Retrofit How-To

[thebwlife]

Would there be any interest in me writing this up? Parts list and how-to's?



Just gauging interest before I spend the time to do it.

I would appreciate a write-up. Please do!

 

[Whiplash Willy]

Yes Please!

Interested! I’ve done several with FX-Rs and D2S minis on Tacomas but never on runners. I would love to see how it’s done. i read somewhere that you actually have to remove the bumper but not sure..

Been looking into this before I get my trail!

Please!

Ok - I'll do it. I'll start working on it this weekend. It's a pretty involved process, but not terribly hard.

Also just FYI don't heat up the assembly on the lens. Rookie mistake....

Now I get to buy a new headlight also....

They are based on the VW Tiguan. Very basic and no frills...

Sub'd. I've got a set of OE trail headlights in a box in the garage waiting for me to nut up and retro them. Always happy to learn from others.

If you don't mind me asking, where did you pick up the projectors? I'm trying to decide if I should do the mod or not.
