SHOW OFF YOUR RETRO HEADLIGHTS

I just dropped mine off. Got some Platinum headlights on the cheaps off a brand new truck. Doing the housings satin black, Morimoto D2s 4.0 projectors, Panamera shrouds with RGB halo beneath, sequential switchbacks replacing the bottom LED strip, and using my VLEDs in the OEM turn signal bowl. Sequential strips will start inside with the VLEDs and travel outward.

Should have some pics of the progress pretty soon. Very excited.

I didn't get a bed rack because of this so they better be amazing.

Oh yeah, having the shrouds and the side amber marker color matched MGM. Might be too much, we'll see.

How'd you wire up the leds on the shroud. And where did you get them from? I want to run the same setup.

How many of you did the retro fit yourselves?

 

Here's mine...

 

Ooooohhh!!! I like those. Do your led strips on the bottom match the halo?

 

They do, at least if there is a difference I can't see one.

 

Is the rest painted black?
How is the output?
I wonder if you paint the shroud white would it look good on my truck?

I want something very different, though classy, and super bright. You accomplished at least two of those three. How about the output?

 

For those of you that paint the front signal reflector black, doesn't that make the signal dim?

 

Yes everything is painted black on the interior. The output is very good on them, a lot better than the stock headlights. Maybe painting the shroud white and the interior area where the daytime running light/turn indicator light is on the stock headlights might work/look really good? I had Eledoubleu do these for me. I went with all black because whenever this TRD Pro grill shortage is over my entire front end will end up being blacked out.

 

Doesn't seem to at night, plus my halo's and led bar are switchbacks, so I wasn't to worried about the signal reflector being dimmed out a bit.

 

Thanks. Are you using led bulb in the factory location?

 

Actually just using the factory bulb at the moment. I plan on switching it out when I a do a complete light overhaul switching out everything left to led bulbs.
