Haha actually it's my mom's kitchen. I had to use the oven to get those lenses off, so what can you do? It's a little work, but pretty straightforward. The improvement over stock is AMAZING. I'll get some output shots later today.
I did use a bezel, just haven't taken any pictures since I put them on and sealed it up. I'll put those up later today as well.

Props for doing it right, instead of plugging in a cheap "HID" kit. Good to know I won't be blinded by you in SLC.

Did you heat up a pizza while you were at it...

looking good, are those shrouds the ones from Home Depot? I'm glad to see another person "see the light"
just make sure those are sealed up really well and the stock vents are not obstructed, i fought a fogging problem in my passenger side light for months, i thought that i had it sealed up, but there was a small pinhole that let in just enough water to make it fog

Thanks man. I figured that I might as well look out for my fellow human beings. Plus the projectors put out so much more "usable" light that I just refused to do it the "cheap and easy" way.

I baked them at 300 degrees and left them in for about 6-7 minutes. As for the pizza, I definitely should have thrown one in, but I probably would have gotten some all inside the projectors! Maybe next time around...

Awesome! I picked up some FX bi xeon projectors and bulbs for cheap a couple months ago. Just need to get the ballasts and some extra headlights and my 2000 4runner will have a bi xeon retrofit too!

How do you flash your high beams?
I see lots of OEM cars and retrofit cars w/ bi-xenon setup, but it seems odd not to have a way to flash the highbeams. Flashing the HIDs is NOT a good idea.

I understand how bi-xenon's work, the light output never changes, they're always on "high beam" if you will, the reflector changes the light output based on high or low beam setting. But cars w/ bi-xenon's from the factory don't use their internal reflector for flashing the highbeams, they all have a halogen light to flash.

Here are the output shots! I finally got them aimed properly and man, I honestly almost pee my pants every time I turn them on. Literally, they turn night into day.
