DIY Projector Retrofit - Super Easy! - Save Money, Do It Yourself - 1st Gen Tacoma

This has to be one of my favorite mods that I have done to my truck so far! If you are on the fence, just do it! And do it yourself! It is really pretty easy and that hardest part for me was just removing and installing the bumper!

This Acme H1 Bi-Xenon kit from The Retrofit Source worked out awesome! The quality of the projectors is great and the Morimoto motocontrol harness worked like a charm.
