    The lights arrived completely safe and well packed from TRS. First impression...these are HEAVIER than I expected. Makes sense, I guess I just wasn't prepared. Also, I opted to take these headlights straight to a clear bra installer before removing the blue protective plastic. Putting 3M/Xpel on these is very inexpensive to keep such a lit up piece in perfect shape.

    Side by side, the lights look so much better without all the chrome and orange. SO MUCH BETTER! (and they aren't even installed yet)

    Do not be afraid...follow one of the youtube tutorials when it comes to removing your lights. If you have already removed your grill before, this should be even easier. It is only a few more minutes of steps. I did not break any clips or fasteners by taking my time. If the blue clips pop off your flare, remove them from the fender and secure them back on your flares before re-assembing at the end.

    BEFORE (PRO Lights):

    AFTER (MORIMOTO):

    These lights are bright! Not "pull me over" bright, but the "missing piece of what a $45k mid-size pickup should have standard" bright. Be sure and undo the orange/red loop on the back if you're keen on sequential turn signals. If you want solid blinks, leave those wires connected.

    The fit and finish on these lights is top-notch. I took some close up pics for those that are on the fence about purchasing these. I almost waited for the 2020 factory LED's and now I am SO GLAD I did not wait for those. These appear to be superior in multiple ways (i.e.- projectors, warranty, sequential turns).

    Any questions pertaining to install, shoot em' my way. Hope this helps those that aren't sure about picking up a set. Cheers

    Yup. And thanks. All functions are the same as stock. If you don’t want DRLs on, you can leave them off.

    How hard of an install was the 3M/Xpel stuff? I've always wanted to put a layer on my lights.

    Alright alright alright. If you knew me in person, you’d know how much of a procrastinator I am. I will this weekend, I promise.
