Here's a pic of how she looked before. This phase got old pretty fast! Went through axles all the time, and rubbed through my fender liner into my engine harness, lost all of my exhaust heat shields over speedbumps, etc..

Just did the retrofit today with Morimoto Mini D2S since it fits in the H4 Cefiro housing without any fuss. The E55-R shrouds suck *****, had to do a lot of cutting and it didn't come out perfect, but it's good enough for me. Still need to aim them, but so good so far.

Nice I30. Wheels do look good.
Seeing you're in UCSD, I take it you live down in San Diego. Have you been to any of the SD meets? Aware that we have a SoCal Maxima (SCM) group? Head on over to the West Coast Forum...

You should have used the H1s. The new ones are awesome while the D2S' are kind of suckish.

Yeah, I hopped on the TRS group buy on the tacoma forums and didn't realize until later. I just needed something better than the halogens with the RHD reflector aiming which was giving me no light, especially on the right side of the road. These things are miles better than halogens.

I go to school down here so I'm bouncing back and forth between SD and the bay area. Never been to a meet but will check it out! Thanks. Always been a huge fan of your car lol
