    Didn’t see those. They look really nice. I wonder if it’s just the pic that makes the top cutoff diff color. But they look way better than the alpha owls. And yes I get tons of comments about the blinkers being sequential on the xb’s

    I personally didn’t want to take a chance on those novas so I’m probably gonna get the Morimotos bc of the known quality etc. who know the novas might be excellent but I don’t have the cash to take chances lol

    Apologies for the delay with the update on the new harness...found out I'm extremely allergic to yellow jackets and have been down for about a week :annoyed:

    But install and testing should be later tonight with additional alignment and cutoff pics

    Just finished up! The new harness for the 18+ OEM LED trucks works perfect with no warning lights at all. I assume they should have the harness available at mass in due time.

    Leveled out finally, just cannot get the damn rotation out on the driver's side. Not sure if it's my truck, the lamp, or there is a rotational adjustment. Reached out but won't hear anything until next week. Definitely glad not to have that warning light anymore. Makes the center screen useless at night.

    I've tried shimming, twisting, and any other kind of method of turning it...just cant get it! Luckily it's on the one that got wet and will be replaced if I can't figure it out before then.

    Side note: The screws where the lamps are held in place into the plastic clips are just a little too flimsy for me and the amount of offroading I do, so I removed them and used bolts and washers to secure them directly to the metal frame where the plastic clips mount in to. Just a thought for anyone that doesn't want to risk them bouncing around

    Sorry for the crappy pics

    So it looks like not many are interested in the lights. If theres 20+ participants I will offer a group buy on these. But members need to be 100% sure they want these. TRS opened pre-order for dealers so let me know guys :)

    Does the 19 SR5 have LED or Halogen? If LED, you will be waiting for the new wiring harness. Mine are sitting in the box until the harness is available.

    Power washed my truck on tues and no water intrusion occurred. Have not had any fogging issues or anything else yet. I used the stock screw for mounting the lights and the top one for the exposed tab doesn’t get very tight. But it hasn’t loosened up and the headlights don’t bounce so maybe one day I’ll swap it out with an actual bolt. But so far no issues and I still haven’t installed the other flasher that doesn’t have halogen drl’s. I simply did the de-pin on the grey wire to stop the halogen blinker drl. It’s functional as it should be as designed.

    Good to hear some positive feedback. I wonder what the deal with that top mounting tab is? Seems it should align just fine unless they messed up the molding and didn't realize.

    I think some of them might of been boxed and shipped wrong. And after sitting in a box the tab moved some? I was happy to confirm mine had no problems with the tabs. The plastic feels super solid and not cheap. Either way 5 years of a warranty is awesome
