Building the Worlds Brightest Quad Projector Headlights on my 3rd Gen 4Runner

Рет қаралды 17,441

Күн бұрын

Today’s video will be showing the entire process of building out this set of 3rd Gen 4runner headlights. I’ve spent the past few months going through countless iterations trying to find the perfect way to get these projectors to fit in this small housing but the final product is well worth it. It’s a long one so buckle in!
UPDATE!!! These quad projector headlights now use the latest biLED projectors. I have found them to be brighter, more reliable and a LOT cheaper. That means I can now start selling fully built headlights at a much more reasonable price.

FYI I’m almost done with an LED Projector variant of this quad projector setup if you are interested. It actually has quite a brighter hotspot with maybe slightly less width, but that’s what fog lights are for anyways. Plus it’s significantly cheaper with much less wiring. I’ll have fully built setups available soon as well! Keep on eye out on the Instagram channels for updates @snowboundcustoms or @snowboundt4r

Great mod. I have the bx built projectors from TEQ customs but my passenger side is always shaking, no matter how many times I have tried to tighten it. I wonder if that drill jig will work on a 1st gen tacoma?

@SnowboundCustoms Жыл бұрын

It won’t work (I think). I’ll try to make a separate one that works with Tacomas. And ya, it probably shakes because there isn’t much surface area for the projector to clamp onto the factory housing. I made these holders a very tight fit so it fully encompasses the bottom of the projector and they’re pretty rock solid in there with 0 shaking

So end result; Both low/high beams are on at the same time while lights are on? Is it possible to have outer diameter light rings to potentially aid turn signal or only dusk parking lights installed! You’re only using morimoto mini’s? Can you provide a X comparison; LED vs HID to compare light throw/quality. Thank you, nice video. I am working 55+ hours a week, so might build pre order. Cheers

@SnowboundCustoms 3 ай бұрын

Hi, I was using the morimoto Micro D2S with 55W. In the end I’ve stopped selling these HIDs in replacement of the new LED projectors I have now. The LEDs are brighter, less expensive and much reliable that what I was getting with the morimoto. In regards to halos, I don’t add them to lights anymore like I did in the last. They are really all too dim to be using on a vehicle as a turn signal if it’s bright outside, and you can’t see them at nighttime either because the projectors would be turned on. Oh and also yes, all 4 lights work together at the same time for both low beam and high beam!
