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
For many years I have been watching fabrication and builds. You are the best out all of them. You're attention all the smallest things are amazing. I wish you can get students to teach. Keep up the great work!
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?
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
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!
New to this channel. I must say great job. I hope you never stop making content because your level of detail and motivation is crazy for somebody working solo.
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.
Just subscribed, great work bud, you're one talented guy. I have a 2000 Tacoma and just love seeing the potential my old truck has through your videos. Hopefully one day my truck will look half as good as yours. Thank you for sharing your work and ideas with us all!
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 ...
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.
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?
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.
Impressive work on whole truck,with all the modifications you’ve done.I would probably not wanna to even drive it after it’s done.good video as always.keep on doing what your doing 👍👍👍😎😎😎
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
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!👍🏻
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?
That's terrible grammar what I was trying say was I understand why you don't talk much in your video but I'd like to hear you try but I must say you talk along more than you used by the way this not criticism just trying to help
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 work Austin, those really set the truck off! Makes the front look even meaner! I really hope you find a set of wheels you like and try to sandblast them and powder coat them the color you want. I've never seen you do a set of wheels and I think that would be awesome!
@7Marrez are you talking about the green Raptor Liner Yoda? If so, yes! I wonder how he's liking it! That was a great truck! I'm still wanting Austin to build a Tundra with a 12 valve Cummins under the hood!

@@austinniemela Excellent work mate, Your efforts don’t go unnoticed.

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.
Now it looks 2022 factory fresh! The headlights really bring it together and updates the look. 👍🏼
Thank you!
Still loving every bit of your builds. Watching from Nairobi, Kenya..... oooh yes, you've got a footing in Africa 🇰🇪✌️
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!
Unbelievably underrated
For many years I have been watching fabrication and builds. You are the best out all of them. You're attention all the smallest things are amazing. I wish you can get students to teach.
Keep up the great work!
Awesome! Thank you!!
Thanks Austine....I like the way you do the hard stuff, to get the best, reliable products.

Hope you enjoy it! Thank you!

I appreciate that!
I have used the Cerakote kit and it worked great.
That’s so nice bro just speechless honestly wow
No way!!!! Beautiful headlights!!!
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
Amazing finish!! Need those on the X.
Those look awesome! Props to you my dude.
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!!!
I'd get rid of my RAV4 in a heartbeat for that beautiful truck sheesh great job dude 👌🏽🔥
100X better!!! Well done! 👏🏼
Amazing work love the truck you built
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. 🤙🏼

Awesome thank you! All you got to do is get out and get wrenching!!
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.
Love the videos! We need a paint job video on the 4Runner if you still have it?
Geez…those things kick ass bro!!😍🙌🏻🔥
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 .

Good job , this truck everything lucked out pretty sweet ...
Damn! I was really hoping for an easier plug and play solution, but these look so fantastic I might be worth trying a DIY.
amazing work as always uso🙏
Turned out awsome! Great job!
Thanks!
that really looks bad ass
Great work like always 👏 👍 👌
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.
These Builds are Just Incredible... Every Video is Just The best on TH-cam... Cant wait to See what's Next!💯👊🤙
Great work 👌
Omg yes. I want to do this to my prado.
F yeah! This is what I was waiting for, so I can do mine.
Nice work. I love my Mostplus LED. Hated projectors. Shine out way farther. Projectors do seem better in the rain though.
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.

Wow I’m sold
Amazing work, as always. Thanks for sharing, man.
Now looks nice 👌🏼
Very nice bro, what are the watts of the ballast you used
Hello!! Question did you connect wires white and red together with your headlights wire?
Love the lights will be doing mine soon. But did you build or buy the grill?
Damn I want this truck BAD
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.
Impressive work on whole truck,with all the modifications you’ve done.I would probably not wanna to even drive it after it’s done.good video as always.keep on doing what your doing 👍👍👍😎😎😎
Thank you! Yea it may sit in the shop😂
Definitely have to put full coverage insurance on this old yota
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
Good job buddy
Thanks man!
Question what wires did you connect the switch back shrouds to
Killed it 🔥
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?
What size halos did you get? Looking to do the exact same setup but don’t know what size to go with. Thanks!
Next build : 1 ton truck, regular cab on 44s diesel :D

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!
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?
Well done
Where did u get your gauge pod for your gauges
That truck is worth like a brand new trucks love it
Would like to see links for the projector and bezel mods
Hi Austin I need your advice on a welder would you go the miller or the Lincoln
Austin should specified under two grand
Honestly I love my Hobart 210mvp! And it’s around $1000! It really any mpg around the 200 amp mark would be good!
@@austinniemela I understand you don't but please talk us through you process
I m not saying to copy these guys but vehcor and ginguim and even you silly looking bros man don't worry I'll still watch you
That's terrible grammar what
I was trying say was I understand why you don't talk much in your video but I'd like to hear you try but I must say you talk along more than you used by the way this not criticism just trying to help
Austin does these headlight has hi/low beam
They look bad ass👍
Thanks!
So how much was the entire kit projector lights? Everything included?
Are you adding a roof rack or are you keeping it slick. May need to ad some KC lights
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.
Which harness did you buy? The ebay link has multiple options for you to choose from before putting it in your cart.
H4 if your vehicle has H4 factory bulbs
What size tires and wheels do you have? Any lift?
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
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 work Austin, those really set the truck off! Makes the front look even meaner! I really hope you find a set of wheels you like and try to sandblast them and powder coat them the color you want. I've never seen you do a set of wheels and I think that would be awesome!
Thanks! We will see!!
@7Marrez are you talking about the green Raptor Liner Yoda? If so, yes! I wonder how he's liking it! That was a great truck! I'm still wanting Austin to build a Tundra with a 12 valve Cummins under the hood!
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.
Love your content.
do you remember where you got the black corner lights from?
Bro you make me want to be a better Toyota owner! ✌️🤣
👍🏽🇺🇸👍🏽 headlights look awesome
I always wanted to be his assistant, I learn a lot, heheh...
At 17:32 your front end just looked sad..... 😆🤷🏼♂️
Nesecito ordenar para mi Toyota Tacoma cómo se llaman los focos y todo lo que tengo q ordenar
How long and at what temp did you bake your lights to melt the adhesive?
200F for 10 minutes!
👍🎊🎊🎊After a lot of work, you can see the incredible result.🎊🎊🎊👍
Dope in 2024
Can i do this exact light build for my toyota hilux 98 ???
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.
Do you remember where you got your taillights? If you know and can link it in the comments that would be amazing!
where can i get the magnifying glasses
Are you doing the 1977 Toyota hilux rust truck
Should have painted the inside of those lights the same color green as the truck
How can anybody see your turn signals if they're built into the headlights?
How much to build an alh block, I live in Washington
Could you leave the link of the product to seal the headlights please.
Greetings from Chile bro! ✌🏻

Will these fit on a 1993 Toyota pickup?
