    those look awesome, I would definitely do that with mine. Need to get a new set anyways since mine have spider cracks running through them

    if you dont mind me asking how did you split the lens from the headlight?

    I applaud those who are trying to do this mod and make it look good but it's much easier to simply buy a pair of black Depo headlights for $138.00 on ebay.

    Andrew those look damn good! I wish it was as easy to take the tails apart as the headlights otherwise I would've done something similar awhile ago. I've always wanted to try led strips inside the tails

    $140 for the lights, and $150 for shipping to Canada vs 2 hours total time, $10 for epoxy, $10 for paint. Plus the added bonus that I did a job that I was proud of and had fun doing.
    But you should know that, I've seen some of the mods that you have posted on here....

    Plus $75 for the reverse lights, the diffusers for them, the trip to the hardware store for the parts you forget about, and $100 for the V3 Tritons. Paint is $100 at a body shop, then when they're resealed they are finished at the body shop with a new coat of clear. No rattle can here.

    Still making these. Wrapping up my third set this week.

    I may even up my rates if this keeps up. Listing it out above makes it seem like a hell of a deal. Haha

    It's nerve wracking the first time but not too bad. Most of my work here is with new parts and the overall quality of the build, not really uncharted territory.

    Fantastic work. I can really appreciate the time and patience needed to do this work perfect. I've baked many lights apart, cut etc and it's not for the faint of heart. I'll be marking this page for my needs soon as I... Do not have this patience nor hands for it anymore lol.
    I assume you do full blacked in headlight projector retrofits as well? I noted your PMs comment near avatar etc, therefore best to just contact you via TRS #s and emails?
    Many thanks!

    These look sick. How much would they run if you just used rattle can on mine? Lol

    How's the seal on yours? When I had a set done from a fellow island member, the edge was noticeable.
