Gear Head's Silver 2000 TRD Build

Got them almost done.







Thought this was a cool pic. Lights aren't on, it's from the flash on my iphone

 

How do u like those projectors Jacob? Why I ask is i am going to get me some but having to wait until bday in November. I like the look of them and the light it puts out. How did u install them? Do u have to take the lense off to put them in? dont mean to ask so many questions man just doing my research. the black on the inside of the light is freakin awesome. thats what i plan on doing but waiting until i order the projectors then i will though.

 

Let's see em on the truck!

 

wow those halos look massive on those shrouds.

 

I can't tell you how I like them yet, haven't driven with them. I only put them in the truck to make sure the cutoffs were level before I sealed them back up. Yes you have to take the lens off but that was really easy, took 15 min per headlight. I was back and forth on whether or not to black them out but I went ahead and did it because it's what I always wanted to do and it was easier to hide the tab and wires from the halos.

Haha I'll get some pics up tonight! Had to take them back off the truck and put the lenses on. They have been sitting with clamps on them overnight. Hopefully no leaks!!

Yeah dude, I can't wait to wire them up on the truck. I was really surprised at how freaking bright they are!

 

Yea those things are insanely bright.

 

I dropped a motherfucking screw into the headlight when putting the bulb retainer back on Any ideas to get this out without rebaking? The slots in the back are just a little small for it to fall out. This is going to drive me nuts



I rolled up a paper towel and stuck it in the bulb hole so no more would fall in but damn, I really want that screw out and don't want to bake again

 

What headlights did you buy off ebay and how much was it. Im gonna be doing the same retrofit and i want new headlights when i do them.

Those. No complaints with them on my end. Lots of people have problems with them fogging but I haven't. We'll see if that stays true now that I've opened them up and put back together.

Finished up my retro finally!! Waiting for it to get dark to make final adjustments and test them out. Here's a teaser..

 

Damn those are bright!

 

Took it out for a quick run. I'm extremely impressed and happy with them!! Just need to aim them up a little bit

Halos only in this one..

High

On the road, best I could do while I was driving


The cutoff colors are amazing!! I didn't do any color modding either..

 

The halos are so bright! lol

 

your gonna like those if you drive at night a lot. how did you get the hi beam light to work?

 

Ha the thing is I almost never drive at night but I might be getting a 2nd or 3rd shift job soon so that will be nice. And I did nothing special for the high beam, just put the included plugs on the wires coming from the projector and plugged it into the relay connector labeled "projector".

 

That weird mine doesnt work

 

Thanks dude. Wanna put up some more day time pics of halos? I wanna get them but not sure

 

No problem, I have a few on hand and I can take more if you need me to. The halos are so damn bright the only way I could get the ring to show up on my iphone was to take it at an angle like the first one I posted.

 

Truck is coming along sweet! I love the retros on your truck
