    go on ebay, search for headlights for toyota pickup, they cost anywhere from 20 to 50 bucks shipped.. make sure they are not sealed beams and have a h4 bulb.. then order you an hid kit from ebay seller name smartforcars for like 90 bucks ?order the color you want with a h4 bulb.

    ok they all come with a glass lens.. not plastic...

    the one with the round projector style thing covering the bulb probably will be brighter ? but deff looks like cheap ebay lights if you ask me...

    the other ones are cheap ebay lights but bright as hell with hids and the little middle peices fell off of mine but my ride is extremely rough.. so i will be ordering new ones soon or 4 runner head lights

    Those fake universal projector lights from eBay do not give you the sharp beam you expect from projectors. The light pattern will be the same as standard lights. That lense in the center is just a gimmick. I bought a set and found that out. Then I decided to use the eBay housing and projectorvbodies from cars in the junk yard to build my own projector lights for my corolla. Look at the bottom of this link.
