    I just lay them down on the frame rails. Anyway, you can just unbolt something and mount the ballasts under the bolt. Or mount them anywhere with sticky velcro or 3m tape.

    Did anyone change your parking lights to an amber LED? If so what did you use?

    Thought I'd chime in with my thoughts on my recent deal with Rad and Burt.

    I was initially turned on to Rechelon Aesthetics by my buddy Rick @squint0241 who had a set made by Burt a year or so ago. But then I had trouble contacting him and found a bunch of very unhappy customers here on this thread so I became extremely skeptical. Then @RAD came along and really busted his butt to right the ship. He improved communication as well as expectations and turn around times. With the near 180 degree turn in customer service I decided to give them a try. I reached out to Rad and every correspondence was handled fast and friendly. Based on that I got in on the latest run and was extremely surprised to find out my wait time would be inside of 5 weeks. I put a deposit down on November 28th and was informed they were completed by the promised deadline on December 22nd. I got an email confirm of shipment from USPS and they were picked up on the 23rd. To my surprise USPS knocked on my door Saturday afternoon ahead of the anticipated delivery date (which should've been today). After a quick review and a few messages to some great guys like @gym_jamz & @LeftCoast I decide to tackle the install yesterday. I got them installed and did a very quick adjustment to them, I will fine tune them sometime this week. Here are my takeaways, the service was fair, fast and friendly. Burt takes great care and the retros were clean, wrapped and packaged extremely well. Rad did a great job coordinating with Burt and working with me to make sure I got exactly what I wanted. I would definitely recommend Rechelon Aesthetics for anyone interested in a retrofit job. Thanks again guys.

    Question for everyone running retrofits: How high do you set them at 25 feet? Every source I checked has the proper way to aligned them left to right but only say set the height at the side mirrors of a passenger car. But with so many cars out there on the road is there like an average or some standard? So far mine are set fine but I'll probably raise them up a bit or wait till I adjust my coilovers. But I'm just curious given the fact we have lifted truck the angle is a little steeper than sedans with projectors. By the way I came up with a height of 40" at 25 ft.
