    We've PM'd about this back and fourth a few times, but do you have any lights available with broken tabs? Still ready to go on my end.

    What's this setup? Just standard BHLM or RX upgrade, paint and smoked sides?
    Thank you

    thank you, and with that setup did you require the "black box" (ballast?) to be mounted?

    Yeah I mounted them with double sided sticky tape and tapped the harness into the inner fender.

    How new are these headlights, in great shape? Little hesitant to trade off my brand new stock lights.

    With the rx350 you will have one ballast per headlight and a relay harness to mount inside the truck and the splitter is a non-issue just plugs in to split the signal, switchback is more complicated.

    They are all in good used condition. They are everyone else's trade in's. Any lights that come in damaged are not used for normal orders and are always offered at a discount.

    If you are hesitant, it is always an option to send your stock lights in.

    Thanks. Looks like a bunch of happy customers. Now I just have to decide on what to get.

    I rec'd my order from Kevin last week and was able to get installed and thankful to be able to share some photos.

    Here is what I got:
    - Retrofit
    - BHLM
    - White Halo
    - MESO Stage I side markers, no switchbacks
    - Kevin's custom amber turn signal covers




    The aiming process:




    Got @MESO puddle lights installed too (to go with mirror turn signal LED's, interior white LED's and QQND change holder - thanks for the quality products, Meso!)

    So I have to ask, why @no vtec 4me ? I'm a little partial to VTEC's - wanted to be like @rtzx9r in his thumbnail photo with the same collection. The S2K has a nice HID setup too circa 2005:



    And for memories sake, my old truck's retrofit....this work by Kevin is a vast improvement:


    Kevin was extremely helpful along the way, I highly recommend his work. I'm so glad I got out of that Morimoto XB group buy that lasted for years it seems like - due to over-promising and under-delivering. Thankfully, those guys are starting to get their lights now.

    Looks great. If you don’t mind me asking, what was the price for this setup?

    Finished two sets up this weekend :D

    I’m all caught up on orders. I will be putting together 2-3 sets of lights over the next 2 weeks to use up some parts I have in stock and offering them for sale before I take more orders.

    Thank you!!

    Think it was $1,270 + sending back OEM lights. See page one of the thread for the menu and pricing.

    Got these suckers installed today! I'll make a more proper post in the upcoming days. I ran short on time due to a softball clinic we hosted but I managed to get a couple of pictures before I left.
