    This angle sucks, but was trying to show the demon eyes. I don't have any good quality photos that show the lights off on the truck...

    All these retro fits got me all excited. I have my tail lights on order and once I deprive myself of money due to christmas, I plan on getting back in touch with @eledobleu regarding my headlights.
    There sure are a lot of options and it's easy to like one thing today and then someone more the next, but then back the other way lol.

    Eledobleu,

    So, I'm guessing that these are the Panamera DRL shrouds (whoops, just noticed at 32 seconds in, it says Panamera DRL shrouds)

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kl0OBCzhlp0

    ... and since they have LED's in them, you don't need to use a halo behind them. Would these DRL shrouds fit the RX350 projectors?

    I sent you an email about a hour ago. I'd really like to have a retrofit done on my OEM set and if there's any sort of Black Friday special I'm prepared to send $$$ now and my OEM's out on Monday.

    Thanks,
    Dave

    Okay, so now I'm confused ... Moto is the video I posted on #43 of your truck? The video says retrofitted by Eledobleu and the license plates say "Sahotas". If it is ... looks great!

    and if it isn't ... don't feel bad. On your DIY:MotoTundra's D2S build - post #25, I said you did a great job too!

    Lol ... It's all good. I like what you did with yours as well!

    Glad to see they're holding up! Hope you don't mind my pretty much copying what you did ... I love the Panamera DRL shrouds and LED strips.

    I met with Sahota and bought his trd dual exhaust. I was really impressed with his headlights and had El make me the same ones. I de-chromed my black truck but have the chrome shrouds. So, stefan702, you can't go wrong with either the chrome or the black Panamera shroud on your truck. You're gonna end up happy either way. I would recommend a slight tint on the amber side light, just enough to tame the color without attracting unwanted attention from police.

    Warren,

    I kind of thought the amber reflector was alittle on the large side. Did you tint yours? Got any pics?

    Thanks, Dave

    I asked they be tinted but it somehow didn't happen. El said it's not exactly DOT legal to tint 'em. In the end, the lights are such an improvement over stock and so unique (Sahota and his lights are 3 hrs away) that I'm quite happy. But, I would tint 'em just a little. I'll try to get ya some pics tomorrow.

    Top or bottom??

    Top is fully blacked out, including the DRL bowl.

    Bottom has chrome shrouds, reflector left amber and the DRL bowl left chrome.

    You guys are right. Either way looks damn good!! Haha

    Bottom for me atleast that's the route I'm going. I did a set for my Tacoma that I had, lasted me almost 4+ years and was by far one of my favorite mods. You could also color match shrouds if you wanted.

    Yep, I'm going with the bottom one. The top one looks darker than I would have expected ... almost looks tinted. Maybe with the lights on it would look better.

    I ain't got the balls to do this by myself! I'm trying to get a hold of Eledobleu to do this but I think he's out enjoying the Thanksgiving weekend ... lol, can't say I blame him. If he's unavailable, I know of Lightwerkz in New Jersey or El Stig garage in Chino, California can probably do it.
