Morimoto Mini H1 6.0 projector retrofit

Hello,

Just wondering if anyone did a projector retrofit on their 2012 Yaris.

i am planning to attempt this retrofit myself and just wondering if there's any tips or things I should be aware of.

I am planning to paint the inside of the housing as well.

Thanks

Check to see if your whole headlight can fit in the oven.

2 used headlights on ebay $170, projector retrofit kit paid around $300 for everything (projectors, ballasts, bulbs, harness, butyl), paint around $50 for 4 bottles = $520 + countless hours of labour :P

Nice build! Looks exactly like mine except for the fact that mine doesn't emit light from the passenger side. Did you run into any problems with this retrofit?
