Projector Retrofit

I believe he is speaking of replace the halogen headlight system with an HID one.

 

I'm not aware of anyone doing this yet, at least not on this forum. I just installed some 6000k HID's in my halogen housings last week and the glare isn't all that bad or noticable. I had to lower the beam pattern quite a bit to avoid blinding oncoming drivers but all seems good so far. Best 80 dollars I've spent in a long time.

 

I have not seen it done yet on a Pri, but take a look over at HIDPlanet. Might have to do a lot of searching, but that site is full of HID retrofits with projectors.

They are not very HID kit friendly...some are even "projector only" *snobs.*

But there is some excellent info if you want to get into a projector retro. I did one on my pre-Pri (Tacoma) and the results were outstanding. IMO if you want a high quality HID retro in your Pri then projectors are the way to go.

Also, if you want to take it on, the smartest way is to order 2 headlight assemblies to allow you to work on them at your leisure rather than trying to do it to your existing assemblies. But there is the extra cost involved. If you chose the latter be prepared to be without your Pri for a while. Feel free to PM me about my experience. There is quite a bit of planning involved if you want to do it without big headaches heh.

 

I di this with morimoto ds2 5.0. 50 watt ballasts and xb d bulbs

 

I have done it on my car with good results, but for the amount of work I would go with an LED drop in bulb since they are getting so good these days.
