I have personally done 5 retrofits, 2011 Ranger, 2013 F150(twice), 1999 Tercel, 2007 F150, 2014 Yaris. Its not that bad. I will say though, my Gen 3 headlights were held together with permaseal and it was a NIGHTMARE to pull them apart. If I remember right it took 6 attempts per headlight at about 250°F.


Here is a shot of my 2014's retrofit. I basically blacked out the housing except for the chrome trim pieces and turn signal reflector. I deleted the amber reflector too. I would like to eventually do a set off M-LED projectors in a factory set of Japanese market housings, but those projectors are $500CAD for the pair, oof.
