You make all other TH-cam DIY guys look like hack jobs. I’ve said it before you cinematography and editing is spot on your even getting better, I went back and watched your videos 6 months ago and there is a noticeable change in the way you put your productions together that really streamlines the whole video.
We just need him to talk a little more and maybe include your wife and kids those snow bikes need to make a comeback we don't get those in Australia for some reason maybe because we have snow in one small part of the whole country
much like yourself ive got a 3rd gen 4r and a 1st gen tacoma. i want to put 4r glass headlights on my tacoma. havent given it a close look for mounting yet. i know the grills have different shapes for the headlights would need a 4r grill on the tacoma. dont know if its possible but my 4r headlights are like new after 23 years and tacoma lights are crap after 18. after thinking about it some more the hood would prob have to be changed too.
Looking good as always, and work even better👍.... although I think the sidelight/indicator surrounds should be flipped, it looks sad and kinda droopy (poor ol girl), lol, maybe the other way up would make it look mean and angry, if you get what im saying.... not taking nothing away dude, just me being me, pmsl👍😉
hello, I'm a user from Russia and I can't understand what year this car is and with what engine you couldn't write me in the comments thank you very much
I'm trying to rig up a similar switchback system on my truck and bought shrouds just like these with the same wiring system it seems. On the wires for the turn signals the original has the green and white. The harness for the switchback has the black box with the black and yellow going to the shroud. Then it has four wires coming out of the other side of the box (black, white, red, yellow). I couldn't see how you rigged the other four wires here and I don't see much on the forums that's helping me. Could you give me a brief description as to how you hooked those up?
Stellar work as usual man. I've used several of those Cerakote headlight kits with amazing success, they work extremely well...especially if you want brownie points with your mother in law! 🤣 Morimoto is also top quality kit, I'm running a 55w HID kit with their bulbs in my Tahoe, and I have a set of their XB headlights on my Silverado. Insanely bright - they are a huge step up from the factory HIDs. Funny you mentioned TRS, too...Nick C. over at there is an acquaintance of mine, great dude. Good choices all around, man!
Halos should have been put in the opposite headlights. The way they are now, the Taco looks sad eyed. They would have looked angry the other way around. Other than that, awesome build! Thanks for sharing.
Did you mark your old lights on the wall before the retro? I'm about to do the same thing but forgot to mark old cut offs. Thinking about installing prior to putting lense back on to get cut offs lined up then pulling back out to put lense on and bake back together. How's your cerakote kit holding up? I tried it on an aftermarket set and it didn't last for sh#t
Great video bud , im confused so retrofit has the whole package ? As u have so many links ebay , amazon etc , then retrofit theres a package $300 and change , or i can buy separatey ebay , sorry not sure if i explain my self correctly thanks
I wonder how black chrome spray paint would work on headlights. I think Duplicolor makes one called shadow chrome or something like that. I think it’d turn out nice, and since most of us don’t have a sandblaster, might be a more doable option.
Some folks seem to be using clear coat for headlight restoration using 2k in a rattle can, along with a similar sanding routine to what you did on these. Results seem promising. You have any experience with that?
That truck is truly one of a kind, frickin’ awesome! Great job! Just wondering if this light retro kit would fit into a 1998 Toyota 4Runner. I’m currently looking for a projection kit for it. I installed LED light bulbs into the stock fixtures and totally hate the broken up beam and it just doesn’t have the reach of the beam I would like. Thanks Austin for another bitchin project, can’t wait to see what you do to the small Toyota “streeter” project! MAKING TOYOTAS GREAT AGAIN!👍🏻
Definitely a great one 🔥. I plan on doing some headlights for my truck but thank you for ideas and inspiration from your work on the builds keep up the good work
How did you wire the switc backs exactly? I have all the same parts in the mail for mt 3rd gen 4runner, very curious what exactly was done for wiring the switchbacks.
Love the videos man. Well made for sure. I was wondering if you had a bumper kit for. 2012 Toyota Tundra. Not an off road style though. Also one that removes the plastic trim piece under the grill. I’m looking for the low profile look like the factory bumper but nice like what you make.
How exactly did you fit the shroud to the projectors? I bought the same kit as you and am having trouble with keeping the shroud on. Not sure if I should shave the plastic opening on the shroud down?
slam me up against the wall and kiss me if I'm wrong but does it look like the halo rings are on opposite sides? if they're supposed to have the "angry jeep" look for the headlights then shouldn't they be swapped? either way truck looks so good !!
I think you've installed the shrouds the wrong way around. This way doesn't look like an "angry face", it's more like a pitty face, idk hahah It looks good either way
I was thinking at beginning how could you be so excited over headlights lol . At the end I was pretty into it too :-) They look awesome and more importantly perform awesome . Lighting is one of those areas top brands and more money works out best . Cerakote headlight kit looks interesting product, I got an old clean sf9 forester (wife's winter car) with milky lenses and this product looks ideal simple solution to try . Good job , this truck everything lucked out pretty sweet ...

Thanks man! I have been trying to dial in the filming and editing!
@@austinniemela Excellent work mate, Your efforts don’t go unnoticed.
We just need him to talk a little more and maybe include your wife and kids those snow bikes need to make a comeback we don't get those in Australia for some reason maybe because we have snow in one small part of the whole country
I second that and his work is phenomenal as well! Have a fantastic day
If you like this then you should also watch Tavarish. He has a similar set of camera angles and good format.
That’s so nice bro just speechless honestly wow
Just awesome work. Don't know though which is better , all your cinematography editing or your mechanics ...both top each other ...cheers !!
Thanks you I appreciate that!!!
Wow I’m sold
Very nice! I really thought you was going to turn the lens into glass before I watch the whole video but still turns out perfect. 🤙🏼

Geez…those things kick ass bro!!😍🙌🏻🔥
F yeah! This is what I was waiting for, so I can do mine.
Amazing work, as always. Thanks for sharing, man.
Now it looks 2022 factory fresh! The headlights really bring it together and updates the look. 👍🏼
Thank you!
Love the videos! We need a paint job video on the 4Runner if you still have it?
Hello!! Question did you connect wires white and red together with your headlights wire?
Next build : 1 ton truck, regular cab on 44s diesel :D
At 17:32 your front end just looked sad..... 😆🤷🏼♂️
👍🏽🇺🇸👍🏽 headlights look awesome
Are you adding a roof rack or are you keeping it slick. May need to ad some KC lights
What size halos did you get? Looking to do the exact same setup but don’t know what size to go with. Thanks!

Should have painted the inside of those lights the same color green as the truck

still haven't figured out tach problem?

Awesome job with the retrofit and restoration of old parts! Nice to see it in such a detail. A lot of work, but it sure does pay off!
Great looking truck!High quality on everything you’ve done on it.✌️

So how much was the entire kit projector lights? Everything included?
🔥💯👌🏽
Do you remember where you got your taillights? If you know and can link it in the comments that would be amazing!

Are you willing to do this conversion to my 1st gen Tacoma lights? I will pay 😂

Yeah the led bulbs suck! Yea you could retrofit these into a 4runner!
Thanks Austin for the reply back! Have a great Easter with the family!
Hello would you like to make me some for my 2002 Toyota Tacoma? I wouldn’t be able to make them myself
Nesecito ordenar para mi Toyota Tacoma cómo se llaman los focos y todo lo que tengo q ordenar

Are you doing the 1977 Toyota hilux rust truck
Will these fit on a 1993 Toyota pickup?
Is it me or the passenger front tire is mounted wrong? Sorry it just seem to not symmetrical with the driver side
How much to build an alh block, I live in Washington

Love the lights will be doing mine soon. But did you build or buy the grill?
Still loving every bit of your builds. Watching from Nairobi, Kenya..... oooh yes, you've got a footing in Africa 🇰🇪✌️

Hope you enjoy it! Thank you!
Definitely a great one 🔥. I plan on doing some headlights for my truck but thank you for ideas and inspiration from your work on the builds keep up the good work
If I order the Cerakote Resto Kit from the link will you get a little kick back? Would like to help your channel out that way if possible.
Yes I get a small amount of you order through the link! Thanks!
👍👍👍👍👍🇬🇹🇬🇹🇬🇹🇬🇹🇬🇹🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Where did u get your gauge pod for your gauges
where can i get the magnifying glasses
I have used the Cerakote kit and it worked great.
It's that a turbo diesel?!
Kinda looks like Johnny sins
that really looks bad ass
Build looks cool. Wish they would outlaw the projector lights. They blind other drivers.
What year is this truck
🤙🤙🤙🤙👊👊👊👊🇺🇲🇺🇲
I have a Hilux mk3, I just can't make the bumper because the tools are very expensive in Brazil, and almost triple the price in the United States. 😂🥵
Доброго здоров'я привіт з Одеси Україна.
How did you wire the switc backs exactly? I have all the same parts in the mail for mt 3rd gen 4runner, very curious what exactly was done for wiring the switchbacks.
You change halogen to HID lights. I like it too much!
Love the videos man. Well made for sure.

Thanks Austine....I like the way you do the hard stuff, to get the best, reliable products.
Que color es?
slam me up against the wall and kiss me if I'm wrong but does it look like the halo rings are on opposite sides? if they're supposed to have the "angry jeep" look for the headlights then shouldn't they be swapped? either way truck looks so good !!
Nice work man it looks great!!!
Btw are you related to Devin Niemela or Cameron Niemela on TH-cam lol?
Thanks! Cameron and Devin are my brothers!
@@austinniemela I thought so lol, it’d be cool to see you guys do a video together.
delete delete
I bought BXBUILT over priced and it wasn't worth to wait and still waiting on it I've been looking for a video like this for a while
These Builds are Just Incredible... Every Video is Just The best on TH-cam... Cant wait to See what's Next!💯👊🤙
Damn! I was really hoping for an easier plug and play solution, but these look so fantastic I might be worth trying a DIY.
I think you've installed the shrouds the wrong way around. This way doesn't look like an "angry face", it's more like a pitty face, idk hahah It looks good either way
Also I am looking for a low profile rear bumper. Almost like a roll pan but still sticks out like stock but maybe half as much.
👍🎊🎊🎊After a lot of work, you can see the incredible result.🎊🎊🎊👍
👍🏼👏🏽🔥
How can anybody see your turn signals if they're built into the headlights?
I'd get rid of my RAV4 in a heartbeat for that beautiful truck sheesh great job dude 👌🏽🔥
Nice work. I love my Mostplus LED. Hated projectors. Shine out way farther. Projectors do seem better in the rain though.
😎👍
Awesome job. Any chance you are going to put this truck on a t shirt like you did your red truck? Also when will you get some more stickers in.
I was thinking at beginning how could you be so excited over headlights lol .
At the end I was pretty into it too :-)
They look awesome and more importantly perform awesome .
Lighting is one of those areas top brands and more money works out best .
Cerakote headlight kit looks interesting product, I got an old clean sf9 forester (wife's winter car) with milky lenses and this product looks ideal simple solution to try .
Good job , this truck everything lucked out pretty sweet ...
Can i do this exact light build for my toyota hilux 98 ???
I love the passion with which you do this staff man, how did you learn all these, mechanics, electricals and even painting. I wish learn from you man
I'm from Mexico and I really like your videos and this time I really liked what you did with those headlights, greetings friend
Would like to see links for the projector and bezel mods
For the wire harness link, which wire harness did you choose?
The finished headlights look amazing! Very proficient job!
I have a question - are the indicators visible during night when the low beam is on?
That truck is worth like a brand new trucks love it
Your next build needs to be a First Gen Sequioa.
Question what wires did you connect the switch back shrouds to
"why is he cooking the headlights?
Oh. OK!"
I always wanted to be his assistant, I learn a lot, heheh...
