Retrofit thoughts

Looks great!! I love the LEDs at the bottom! I chose the original panamera shroud for mine.

 

They look exactly like mine .... You're gonna love them!

 

I think this is the most popular look among everyone here. Few different ones out there, but this one is everywhere, ha.

 

Yeah, while there is some sort of customization available the biggest difference would be the things we can see such as LED strips, shrouds and housing color. The projector might be different but even those aren't worlds apart different. For instance, I can't tell by looking at Hackers or yours Wes if you are running the same projectors I have. One thing I can say, they all look great no matter how you decide on doing them and while I still like the Spyders I had, these look much cleaner and of better quality.

 

these are the best looking lights I have seen on here I don't like how most of the others have all the chrome for some reason that chrome in the headlights looks cheap and ricey but these all black insides look super clean

 

I really like the black, but I feel the projector gets lost in there. Would like to see those LEDs on. I like the chrome though, as it stands out and in a way matches the lens where the LED strip is. Do these all black ones have the LED drls? I would have preferred to have them Silver body color, but didn't want to mess with all that.

 

Again, that just comes down to a personal taste type of thing. I agree that the black shroud looks nice, but only because it's different. I like my chrome shroud as I think it plays off with the LED strip well. At night when these are on the light output is so bright you can't see the color difference of the shrouds at all, but the strip stands out much like I'd expect Moto's demon eyes would!

 

Hey guys, can a retrofit be done on spyders?

 

i agree wes it does look like it gets a little lost in there but I just don't like the chrome around the projector maybe if that was painted silver like you mentioned that would probably look pretty good

 

Sell the spyders and get some retrofitted from scratch

 

Yes, Joon ... a retrofit can be done on the Spyders. If I recall, Leo said he could brighten up the LED strip on them as well as upgrade the projectors (I believe he said there were only a certain projector that could fit though)

 

Nah, I don't have spyders, I just like how they look better but light output is more important.

 

Yea I heard the light output isn't great but they are pretty cool looking!

 

welp, let me know when you sell your spyders.

 

I as well like the look of the Spyders, but the fact that the light output is weak and you can't use the level motor unless you rig it, I passed on them. VERY happy with the retros, and still really love the look. Especially on our Silver trucks, and all the black contrast that I have on mine.

 

Lol ... one step at a time for me brother! Being one of a few that has run both the Spyders and now retro's I can say that the Spyders look great during the daytime as the strips even while off stand out. However during the evening the retro's come into their own and look better than the Spyders. Better light patterns and output and everything just looks cleaner. I'm holding onto my Spyders in hopes that someone will want to trade their platinum OEM's for them because I think the LED strips look even better on those than the retrofits.

oh and just like Wes said about the being able to level my lights on the run again ... wow, I can't believe how much I actually missed that feature. I love that if I'm blinding someone just head of me that I can lower the cutoff below their rearview mirror

 

Thanks! Everyone has their own taste, I kept the chrome in my DRL reflector but with my black themed truck I wanted to go black with the headlight reflector and shroud.

 

I'm agree with your point, while I liked the black shroud I preferred to keep it chrome to match the DTRL reflector, everyone have their own taste but at the end shrouds look great chrome or black.

 

D2s retro I did my self on stock sr5 lights check my build out for more pics. I did 202 gloss on the trim and flat black on the bowls and shroud did something a little different on the side reflector to.

 

After paint before installing the diffuser panel and led switchback strips

 

Those are tits mate. This is something that I would want!

 

What color truck?

 

Disregard I see haha

 

Black

 

Damn that looks good. Stop making me jealous.

 

Haha sorry man thanks for the compliment tho!

 

Thank you for the inspiration

 

No problem let me know if U need any help

 

I have multiple questions:
Is that a charcoal color on the shrouds?
Can you see the TRD inside the housing & is it a sticker?
Do the switch-back strips just lay in that chanel?
Thanks, your truck is bad ass

 

It's flat black comes off. A little grey tho
Yes you can see that red trd stock in the housing
Switch backs are in the filler panel with a diffuser my build has more pics

And thanks man!
