2000 4Runner Xenon/HID retrofit
Finally I decide to take original headlights a part and install Bi-Xenon projectors from Infinity FX. It took me about 4 days to do both headlights. I couldn't find original shroud so I just made my own face plate and painted metallic black. I am still waiting on new wire harness that will let me use Hi and Low beam. The light output is amazing compare to stock headlights, the beam is very wide and lights up the road in front of the car evenly. You can look at some pic I took at my Retrofit page. I'll take some more pictures after i'll install new harness and properly alight the projectors.

Those Bi-Xenon projector lights are bright as hell! When factory installed they are focused and placed in precise angles and directions to avoid blinding on coming traffic.

It feels great! I tried to fit Q45 but they were just way to big and i didn't feel like creating custom housing, plus it's nice to have hi/low beam.

Looks awesome. I just did a rebased HID with a shield on the bottom portion into my 4runner. I get a good cutoff like, but i can't get that nice projection, plus the light output is soso.

i saw Pauls truck the other day and his new lights look really good. Nice work by him, the cutting and the wiring. These lights are such an improvement.
