    Just ordered a pair of D2S's and 5800k 50wt bulb from you guys last week to retrofit my 2005 Tacoma. Perfect timing! What brand housing was that you guys are using?!? I bought one that looked EXACTLY like it and was Spec D brand. The G DAMN thing was sealed with permaseal and I demolished them. Wound up salvaging the clear reflectors and clear turnsignal lens. Please for the love of all that is good and holy link to where to get those headlight assemblies that look like that but are sealed with butyl?

    By taking the reflector bowl out and placing it on a bench ~25' from the wall, why wouldn't it be more beneficial to leave the reflector in the housing? Do y'all use a jig to place the reflector bowl in to align it perfectly? I'm installing 4.0 d2s in the same headlights, will the alignment washer set the projector level regardless? Thanks in advance! I'm very excited to complete my install!

    We left the reflector out of the headlight incase the reflector needed to be trimmed more when aligning the beam pattern up with the factory beam pattern. We don't have a jig, but we used tap to mark where the headlight/reflector is sitting to ensure that it's in same spot as before. That can be seen in this video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/fIZ1mZpwZaieh7w.html The alignment washer will set the horizontal level, but may still require some tweaking. You'll also need to trim the back of the reflector as well so that the nut will thread to the threads. Good luck with your retrofit, we'd love to see it when it's completed!

Id like to know from anyone that has done this retrofit. What are the chances of actually being pulled over for it or is it really something that as long as the headlights are properly aimed and not glaring the shit out of people cops wont be able to tell the difference.

With lenses in good condition and the the headlights aimed properly, you shouldn't be causing anyone any grief at night.

Would like to have seen you start the retrofit using the factory removed headlights. What you stated with was not the same factory headlights.
