Not exactly new to the projector but I'm not exactly experienced. I've got this project underway while I am installing suspension and finishing up the rust proofing on the 06. Hopefully the rust proofing and suspension will be finished by the end of next week.
I generally drive during evening hours. I work one 2nd shift and for the most part i enjoy it since it carries far less drama than day shifts. Anyway deer are rampant and I've found that if you output enough light not only are they easier to see but if they are blinded well enough they freeze instead of panicking and running into the road.
I will be doing a set of RX-350 projectors in the high beam reflector spot on the inside and a 2.35" projector in the outside projector area. Unlike the stock setup both projectors will have high and low.
The rx projectors have a nice wide beam and the 2.35" are a little more narrow. Both will be running hid from morimoto. I did a set in the 98 4runner and was fairly impressed with the light output. It was much better than the stock setup in the 4runner.
I will be also replacing the drl with something a little brighter in the turn signal input. The turn signals will be handled by switchback halos mounted on the outside of the projectors.
The housing will be a flat black conversion because it's easy to find high temp paint in that particular color and I think it looks great with the projectors.
I've ordered a spare set of oem housings to keep a lid on downtime with the new 4runner and allow me to have an indoor project of sorts. The RX projectors are on their way as well. It would have been neat to incorporate the afs function but I do not believe that I have the ability to make that work since it would need input from the steering wheel to function. Stay tuned for pics and info.
