    stick out a bit far imo
    if they were a bit more recessed and had black bezels they'd "fit" better with the truck

    nice job though!

    Nice page man I just subbed! Will have to catch up on some of the stuff when I’m off work. How’s the plastidip holding up on the door handles? I’ve been wanting to do either that or vinyl wrap mine but the wrap is intimidating and I’m not sure plastidip would withstand the frequent use and/or our summers up here. (Sorry for thread hijack!!)

    I went with the Larger ones, kind of like the Grand General 77650's mentioned above. I had Purchased some smaller LED ones but there design basically put them way too far back in the grill to be seen... at all... by any one... ever LOL. I really like the smaller LED's but when I stumbled uppon these at my local Canadian tire the fitment was almost spot on so It made life easy to mount haha.

    @dskakie
    To be honest, I ended up taking the plasti dip off the handles. With 4 coats it was great, it didn’t show any signs of wear after 4 weeks.
    I took them off because I’m taking it to the shop to get them painted Legit. I really like how it looks with black handles.
    Yes vinyl can be tricky, but you can do it

    This looks so good. Do you have any more information on how you attached/wired these?

    @Optimaltaco dude those look GREAT!!! The question is; how bright are they? I ordered and used some similar to yours before but they weren't bright enough :/. Do you have any night shots? I’m interested haha! Thanks for watching

    Is this in the legit pro grill or the vanculture?

    I'm liking these ones but not sure about how far forward you have them mounted

    Thanks! they are just mounted to the grill with very small tie straps, and I wired them up together then it goes to a generic 9006 headlight connector I had from an old HID kit so that way I can take off the Grill fully, then I just tied into the Side Marker lights.
    I looked back and found its from a company called Optronic model number is MCL15AFS, but when I tried to find them on their website they have a slightly different bezel but I believe once that's removed it should be the same light.

    Its Pretty Bright at night time which I was super impressed with!
    It's a real pro grill I got from my local Toyota dealership. It actually sits as far back as it can go, I did need to trim it a little bit but nothing major.
