That looks awesome man, I really wanna do this to my black 2014 because I know it would look sick but im really hesitant about taking my headlights apart. Was it easy to take the headlights off/apart? Also what did you use to black them out? And one more question lol are those HIDs or just some regular blue colored bulb?

 

Looks clean! I wanna do mine but afraid it won't seal correctly

 

Looks great, good job.

 

X3... I wanted to this since I had my Tundra in 2011.

 

In my experience (I can't speak for the OP) getting the headlamps out w/o scratching anything was more difficult than actually taking them apart. I did mine by baking in the oven, but I've helped do ones in the past with a heat gun.

If you add additional sealant, you shouldn't have any issues. I had noticed a small bit of condensation once in my lights but I haven't seen a thing since.

 

It's 100 times easier than I thought. Only difficulty I had was getting the 3rd bolt on the headlight cause it's up in the fender and you have to feel it to unbolt, not able to see. And I had an extra set of hands from my gf with doing the unsealing and reseal, but i coulda done it alone

I used krylon fusion gloss black, didn't think the semi or matte black looked as natural in a headlight as the gloss does

And the headlights are 55W 6000k HIDs, they're a little more white than blue because they're 55 not 35. And my fog lights are 35W 6000k HIDs, the 55 was too bright in the fogs

 

So was I, then I read of it doesn't seal correctly, all you can do (not the prettiest fix but not like you'll ever see it) is go by a clear sealant gel and line the rim where it comes apart, and let it cute. It'll seal it right back up

 

I agree, getting the lights put is the hardest part for sure. And I also used the oven too, just make sure you follow the oven ON/OFF directions cause I've heard horror stories of people messing that up. Otherwise the sealant is always fixable, whether you want a pretty or ugly fix. If you end up with moisture, it's not like its permanent. I live in a dry town, and I used a lot of sealant, so I don't think I'll have a problem.

 

I just bought a pair of OEM headlights from a member on here. I figure by having another pair already off the truck, I can take plenty of time to do this right.

 

I'd love to get my headlights done with a retrofit and some LED strips or halos, but i can't justify spending that much money haha

 

Well your set up is sick either way haha i wish i knew how to do that stuff but in blue, id love to have a blue backlit grille and blue lit driving lights/eyelids

 

Thanks !!! If you're really interested in this, its not that difficult. I can tell you where to get the stuff and how to do it.

 

NICE!!!!

Too bad you are so far away in AZ, otherwise I would try to bribe you to do mine...

 

Haha you're in Cali! There's plenty of TW members there if you asked!

 

Great job and look great. I really want this mod on mine.

Where did you get the "How To" info from? Can you post a link?

 

Uh...there's this "little" thread that talks about this at the very top of the LIGHTING section...
