You do so much for the hid/retrofit community and do it just because you're being helpful. Thank you!

 

Here are my retrofits from @RAD .
Sorry for the crappy photos.





Here are the specs, sorry for the caps.

- SMOKED PASSIVE DEMON EYE

 

Those are muranos, yes

You're welcome!

Edit: just fixed my original post

 

How does one get hands on just them not a whole setup?

 

If you want just the projectors, you can probably ask Rad to sell you a pair. Or you can buy the projectors, clear lens, and pay someone to tune them. I know a few tuners and costs about $50.

 

^ Dam Jimmy. . . Your paycheck will be coming in the mail soon. . . LOL. Thanks for always helping buddy.

All Muranos & TL Projectors we have in house are already spoken for. We have 2 spare sets that we're keeping as we know they'll be used soon. We used to have another tuner do the work but we've been tuning the Muranos, TL, LS460 ourselves. We feel the extra TLC we provide goes further than the reputable Tuner we were using. Nothing says a true retrofitter like one who tunes their own oem projectors.

AWESOME RICHARD! Can't go wrong with a set of TL! I'll be using the TL in my personal Retrofit build soon. I've been debating back and forth. TL projectors by a slight margin. The other Rechelon Tacoma will be getting the presidential treatment. The LS460r projectors with upgraded oem bulbs.

 

For those still on the fence of oem projectors. Here's a reference I took this morning while sunrise. I'll take a better picture sometime this week but it'll give you an idea. Oem Muranos, easily 6 parking spots. If it was darker, you will easily see it lighting up 6-8 parking spots with some change on the sides. This is why it cost a bit more
(On a slanted driveway, hence why cutoff looks crooked but 100% level)

Best part? Not a single glare

 

Is your cutoff in that picture tuned for sharp or more color on the cutoff? I'm trying to figure out which way I'd like to go.

 

I'd say it's more on the sharp side. If I get up close, you'll see some color but as much as what I've seen before.

Want to see color. This is color, too much for my taste but damn does it look awesome hahah

 

Thanks for posting that stuff @gym_jamz, I pulled the trigger on these lights with Rechelon earlier today. I decided to go with the Muranos, buy once cry once. I don't see myself becoming a retrofit tinkerer, so I only wanted to do it one time.

Now the question I'm weighing is tuned for sharpness or color...I traded emails with Rad on that earlier. He said they typically tune for brighter hotspot and more color vs sharpness, but can do whatever the customer wants. I agree I think the amount of color in the picture you posted is excessive, but I do like the look of having some color.

 

Even when he tunes for sharpness, there will be some color. Bigger hotspot is good, that means more lights down the road. Either way, you're gonna love them. Way better than stock!

 

^ There will be color even if you want the sharpness level. However as Jimmy posted, there can be a lot of color if you'd like but some may think its too much. ​

 

We appreciate your business Ryan and we want you to be happy with your purchase. We default the tune typically as mentioned above as we found it to be the best happy medium. Which ever way you want to tune the Murano or TL projectors, they're worth the money over the FX-R. ​

 

Just want to put it out there for reference...Murano with Morimoto 4500k D2H bulb (CBI D2S in the near future!) I finally got my aiming to where i think it is best for my personal preference and current suspension setup (stock coil w/ Bilstein 5100 @1.75 setting). At about 110" / 9ish feet away...the beams are 4ft apart from each other and sitting at 39in from the ground. Love the output and everything about mine. Only thing I would like to get out there for anyone else that is about to order, I would highly recommend you opt in for "passive smoked demon eye". That I can talk about more via pm if anyone would like to know. I tried to do my best with my camera phone but again you have to see it in person to appreciate the output and all.

 

^ OM|OEM|G! Thanks Sam for posting those pictures as that's pure sexy-ness.

How do you enjoy driving at night?

RAD ​

 

I just sold a murano headlight, so about this pay check you speak of?

 

Night drives are

 

How'd you get your Murano to work so well? They seem to mount perfectly all the sudden. ​

 

Touche hahah ok you got that one. You can keep that paycheck and take your team out to dinner

 

Haha just want to clarify, I was already sold on buying from Rechelon, and I can't say that any of these recent pics in this thread really pushed me over the ledge toward the Muranos vs FXRs...it was more of a collection of info that I got from a number of places, including from this thread, from @gym_jamz and directly from @RAD. I really appreciate all of the input from everyone sharing their experience and helping the rest of us with our decisions.
Now I'll be patiently sitting at the mailbox for the next several weeks...
