    Agreed. They aren’t too flashy but stand out just enough

    Of everything I have done to my truck, the retrofit was my favorite project. In my eyes, it really sets the 2nd gens apart from the crowd with retro lights and changes the whole aesthetic. I've am approaching 4 years on my retrofit. Building them was a learning process but an easy and rewarding project. The TRS kits are top notch. I bought a second set of stockers and kept my stock lights for if I ever do decide to sell the truck which at this point I pretty much decided is never happening. Let's see more pix.

    Thanks, they were supposed to have more white, but the paint reacted. Kinda glad I went all black with a splash of white instead. The white shroud helps to hide to halos too

    Like I should watch one or does anyone have one? Sorry I’m at work and trying to find a read up to understand more what I’ll need. Also curious as to what the difference between an HID projector compared to an LED projector is
