That's REALLY nice. Is it as easy as removing the headlight housings, removing the projectors and swapping in the new ones?

My only issue is they told me it was going to be the Mini H1 projector. I'd prefer them to do a low beam only projector, and not a bi-xenon! I guess I'll have to do my own retrofit.

Sweet! I still have my Minis from a TRS group buy on Tacoma world.

For those of you interested, they have group buys going on all the time.

This is the cutoff from the Morimoto Mini projectors the kit will use. As you can see, it makes the drop in ricer kits look like a joke.
