Retrofit Options Overview
Housing Colors
The headlight housing is the outer shell that holds the headlight components, including the projector, reflectors, and LEDs.
SRQ Fabrications offers multiple headlight housing finishes to match your style and build:
- Chrome: Maintains a factory-style look while enhancing reflectivity for a clean, OEM+ aesthetic.
- Flat Black: A non-glossy, stealthy option that eliminates reflections and provides a rugged, tactical look.
- Gloss Black: A sleek, high-shine finish that adds a modern touch while keeping the headlights bold and aggressive.
- Color-Matched: Custom-painted to match the exact body color of your vehicle, ensuring a seamless and cohesive appearance.
Shroud Styles
The shroud is the decorative cover that surrounds the projector lens inside the headlight housing.
- Apollo 1.0: A classic, smooth design with a subtle, OEM-inspired look that blends well with any build.
- Apollo 2.0: Features a more modern, aggressive design with added detailing for a refined aesthetic.
- Apollo 3.0: The most detailed of the Apollo series, offering a sharp, intricate look with extra styling elements.
- Turbine: Inspired by turbine engines, this design has a high-performance feel with angular vent-like details.
- Panamera Switchback 2.0: A premium shroud option that includes an integrated switchback LED strip, providing both white and amber functionality for DRLs and turn signals.
Note: If you want your shroud to be backlit, a rear halo is required to illuminate the area behind the shroud.
Front and Rear Halos
Halos are ring-shaped LED accents that enhance both the aesthetics and functionality of your headlights.
- Rear Halos: Mounted behind the shroud, these provide backlighting, creating a glowing effect around the projector and enhancing the shroud’s visibility. A rear halo is required for a backlit shroud.
- Front Halos: Mounted on the front face of the shroud, these create a distinct halo ring effect that is highly visible when the headlights are on.
Both front and rear halos are available in two configurations:
Switchback Halo:
- Features white and amber lighting.
- Functions as a white DRL (Daytime Running Light) under normal operation.
- Automatically switches to amber when the turn signal is activated.
- Ideal for turn signals and corner lights, offering a clean, OEM+ look with enhanced functionality.
Color Change (Neopixel) Halo:
- Offers full RGBW (red, green, blue, white) customization.
- Can be controlled remotely to adjust brightness, colors, strobe effects, and fade transitions.
- Includes an amber override function for turn signal integration, ensuring road safety compliance.
Note: A Bluetooth controller (available as a product option) is highly recommended for Color Change (Neopixel) halos, allowing full customization via a smartphone app.
Demon Eye Kit
Demon Eyes are compact LED projectors installed inside the headlight projector lens, allowing you to add a colored glow effect when the headlights are off.
- Produces a vibrant glow inside the projector lens, giving the headlights a bold, custom appearance.
- Can be paired with halos for a cohesive lighting setup.
- Does not affect headlight output, as the color projection is only active when the headlights are off.
Note: A Bluetooth controller (available as a product option) is highly recommended for demon eyes, allowing full control via a smartphone app.
Lens Etching
Lens etching is a customization option that adds a laser-engraved design onto the projector lens, creating a unique, high-end look when the headlights are illuminated. This does not affect light output.
- Toyota Logo: Features the classic Toyota emblem, perfect for maintaining an OEM+ aesthetic with a custom touch.
- Honeycomb Pattern: A modern, aggressive design that adds depth and texture to the projector lens, ideal for those wanting a more unique or high-performance look.
Notes:
- Lens etching is visible both when the headlights are on and off, but it becomes more pronounced when illuminated.
- This is a permanent customization applied directly to the projector lens.
- Works well in combination with demon eyes for a more dramatic effect, as the glow enhances the etched design.
