leave it chrome.

 

Is that what you did? Can I see a picture?

 

No. Haven't done it yet. But it's what i want to do.

Here is what it would look like.





I'd love to see photos of them mounted myself. But i think they look great like that.

 

I vote match the bowls and shrouds. Either leave em both chrome or paint em both. To me, it looks cleaner and seamless this way.

 

I think you might be right.

 

Chrome on chrome.

 

Yeah I'm not a fan of the chrome on chrome, too shiny

 

Pretty new to this but why don't i see RGB halo or demon eye option from TRS? is it not offered on the group buy? how do they wire in? Looks pretty simple so il just build my own instead of paying $1000!!

Also I don't see the 5500 bulbs (shown in the first post) as an option. Also if the 55W blast decreases 1000K i should go with 6000 bulbs yeh??

 

I believe they are both on the site. They are both new items and were on pre order. I just received my rgb demon eyes yesterday.

 

all i see is the amber/white halo and no demons

 

There is a search bar on top of the page. Type in and it should come up

 

Or it's under led products then led accessories.

 

found them, thanks. it appears that i need 80mm for the front gatling gun 2.0 and 90mm for the vent halo. for one, i don't see an 80mm option and two, i don't know what vent halo is.

 

The vent halo is a pain in the butt. I just did it a few weeks ago.

 

it goes behind the shroud i guess?? i want the ones that mount on front in RGB but there is not an 80mm option as recommended for gatling 2.0

 

what is the best method for painting the house and shroud black? just primer, paint, clear coat?

 

I scuffed with a pad, self etched primer, then paint. No clear coat as I figured there is a piece of plastic that protects the paint from the elements.

 

I have seen people use bleach to strip the chrome off, sounds like to didnt do that. not neeeded?

 

I used oven cleaner to strip the chrome off my shrouds. Didn't do it on the headlights because 1, didn't want to deal with the mess, 2, didn't know how it would affect the glue since I did not buy extra, and 3, looking at TRS videos they just scuff then paint.

 

I also scuffed up shrouds with a pad, a little oven cleaner, self etch primer and Krylon Fusion gloss. I'm very happy with results.
