    I like the idea of LED headlights, or at least a LED ring around the headlight bulbs, like BMW's have...also Carbon Fiber surround on the inside is cool as well, like this photo:

    Gotta disagree about the Tacoma, I think it looks awesome & would be very happy if my VX had similar lights. I know what you mean by the "pupil" but there are ways to hide it and way to make it stand out. Still I agree that many single projector headlights don't look very good. If you go to HID planet forum, you'll see tons of projector retrofits and very few of them look good.

    The mock-up on Patrick's VX does look great but would be hard to duplicate in the real world with the size of our headlight. I will look again to see where more lights could fit. This is just a mock-up on spare parts and will only get made for the VX if it looks REALLY good.

    Actually the carbon fiber can be installed very easily, it comes as a fabric that wraps the reflector. I should pick some up and see how it looks with a black shroud in front of it. Usually I'm not a fan of faux carbon fiber but it might look great in this case.
