    I'm posting pics of the lights i've built which would hopefully help those out what are looking to retrofit/get a set built for their truck. I will keep this going as long as I build and will post pics & details of parts so you can get a visual and maybe help you decide on what you like for your truck. if you have any questions please feel free to reply, quote, or pm


    BSP w/Apollo 3.0 & RR w/Panamera both have white/amber switchbacks

    I would be intrested would you do paint matched? otherwise I would be fine with black. Also can you paint the chrome so that the projector has no chrome ?

    little bit of both. i currently have 2 pairs of headlights, 3 different shrouds, 1 pair of switchback halos, 1 pair of red demon eyes, 1 pair of "TRD" lenses, and 1 pair of "TRDPRO" lenses. i have enough parts to build 2 sets just depends on what people want in the build.
