    I had these retrofits done for me by a local company and they came out pretty poor. That being said all the parts are brand new and some enterprising young lad might be able to turn this situation into lemonade, or whiskey, or whatever you please.

    These were done by a company called HID Retrofit in SLC. They are 100% functional but there are issues with the black paint on the houses, like areas where you can see very small paint runs. The sealant is also pretty bad - it's caked on liberally. I don't know if this will impact how the lights rung or keep moisture out, but if I were going to use them I'd peel much of it off and lay a cleaner, more trustworthy bead of RTV silicone.

    These were a brand new pair of Platinum headlights. Leveling motors and all tabs are fully intact. Build list is as follows:

    Diode Dynamics LED strip switchback DRLs
    Panamera Shrouds with RGB halos behind
    Morimoto Mini D2S projectors
    Morimoto D2S 35w 6500k HID and all connectors
    RGB remote control
    MGM color matched shroud and side markers
    Flat black housings
    Leveling motors are installed and ready

    These aren't perfect and the sealant used is a little sloppy, but they are perfectly functional. I'm in these $1400 (including the cost of headlights) and got some money back from the vendor too via small claims court, so I'm just trying to get even.

    ETA: Price

    Would like to get $600 for everything. That sets me straight with my accountant..

    Will ship on your dime, willing to accept reasonable offers. I would also consider trades.

    Will fit Tundra 2014+

    Here is a link to the original thread which will show a bunch of pictures of the problems I had with them and why I didn't install them. I want to be fully transparent here..
