    @MuricaTaco I will be honest I thought you parking next to other tacos was going to be stupid but I kind of enjoyed it, strangely

    I'm trying to figure out what you want tho! Lol. TRD Pro style are blacked out as them come, you'll need a refector for the headlight/DTRL indicators bulbs. Unless you go projectors, but then rice you know? Also a grand per light for retros no? TRD pro headlights=best OEM look. IMO. :thumbsup:

    haha, i appreciate the efforts! thank you. but no i agree. i am picky.. i like the look of some projectors. looking into the Spyder ones (with the LED bar someone posted a few pages back). They arent as ricey as some others.

    but yea, retros come out to be like 2grand for everything. YIKES.

    Ever consider crafting your own or contacting someone who custom assembles them?

    2 grand is way over priced. @LSC15 builds retro's for a fraction of that cost...he has a building /for sale thread is his profile. Spyder projectors kinda suck, at least if you like to see well at night time:D

    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.
    Fraction? He's got a 2014, the prices I can find are $725 starting.

    ok i might have over exaggerated a tad ;) but still... even with the retro thing, last time i looked into this, it would be a hella inconvenience for me. The local guy to me was too busy last time and i couldnt drive back/fourth to swap headlights for the job to get done. truck is my daily and i work a full time schedule, so its hard to be without em. probably overthinking it and making it sound like a bigger problem than it is... but its more work and money than i am willing to deal with.

    edit: also, not going so much for power output at night... more so having a nice black housing to finish the chrome removal off my MGM. at a few hundred bucks, the quick plug&play of spyder is appealing to me. again, even $1000 for retros... thats a little more than im willing to spend. (3X as much as something like Spyder) $1000 can buy me quite a bit of other goodies, non truck related ha
