3rd Gen BHLM and light mods

Here’s my SR5 BHLM retrofit, version 2.0.

Parts Used:

• RX-350 Projectors
• Profile High Lens 2.0 RGBW
• 12” Diode Dynamics LED strips
• 80mm Diode Dynamics Halos
• Profile 80mm smoke rings
• Profile 12” SuperStrips

 

Clean and different I like it!

 

So my googler isn’t tuned properly and the search on TW didnt fully answer my question. This seems as good a place as any to ask.
The plan in my head is to swap the drl board to the DD rgbw board and it would be very cool to also have a rgbw halo drl. Firstly, I’m struggling to find a rgbw halo and secondly, would the DD BT controller work with other brands of led manufactures?
Kinda feels like I may be asking too much to have them both rgbw and hook up to the same app.

Also anyone have experience with adding smoked tint to the halo/drl. Did it turn out well?

 

I don’t think there is an RGBW halo. The DD BT controller does work with other brands. I’m using it to control the Profile High Lens 2.0 RGBWs in my retrofit above.
Due to the phosphorus coating on the halos and led strips, the tint film doesn’t stick, trust me I tried. I ended up using profile smoke rings to tint my DD halos. They worked pretty well.

 

Does anyone have spare side markers? Accepting reasonable offers =p I want to try a few ideas out before I get everything cracked open.

 

they sell them online in just about any color you can imagine.

 

I'm seeing a bunch of overlays and bulbs but not the actual lens

 

I have a set of smoked ones I'd part with

 

Thanks for the offer but my plan is to try out smoking with a stencil so I'm trying to find some stock oem side markers

 

The orange ones? I might have a set of those too. I'll look tomorrow

 

That would be amazing, TIA

 

Turned out great! How did the turn signal amber?

 

I used an acrylic amber sheet cut it heated it with a heat gun formed it to the black grate and used epoxy.

 

OK, I didn't stop where I have these today. Will be tomorrow. But I am 95% sure I have them, so if you just want to PM me your address, I'll send them to you (and I'll confirm that I do have them). No charge, I have no use for them.

 

Got my diy bhlm in with amber covers. One tip would be tape your headlight covers in full taking out and going back in. That stuff scratches easy.

 

Thanks for the tip! It looks great on the truck and I can't notice any scratches.

Does the amber side marker have a light underneath it or is it justa reflector?

 

Has a light under the cover. Thanks.

 

Anyone know how to get the side marker to be more orange to match this? Is there a way to tint or re-color it somehow?

I’m gonna guess you could probably use that. The same stuff I made my signal covers out of. Just use the stock to draw a template. Cut with a fine tooth jig or band but go slow. Epoxy in place?

 

Have you seen them in person next to each other? Pretty close, installed I feel like there is virtually no difference.
