Retrofit and BHLM Headlights

Just wanted to update this a little bit, as I've been driving on these for about a month (and still love them).

I have the Amber DRL's and Meso Stage 2 Amber Side Markers, I also have Meso side mirror turn signals. All these LED's are bright. Super bright.

The factory headlight turn signal bulb was now the weak point. It was completely adequate, but not lighting up buildings like everything else was.

I wanted a bulb with a built in resistor, I didn't want to tap anything, and I didn't want another driver box.

GTR Bulbs from Headlight Revolution has a solution. And Headlight Revolution doesn't have a great reputation, but these bulbs were shipped from TRS/TheRetrofitSource.

Ridiculously bright. Cleaner looking light. If they last, then definitely recommended.

So no resistor needed with them huh? That’s pretty cool. I always had issues with resistors going bad with my led turn signals.

 

Yup, no resistor or resistor box (resistor is built into the light) and no hyperflash. I'll try to get a video at night showing these off. Stay tuned!

 

Love seeing my name at the top of the list on page 1.

 

Sounds like you found what you were looking for. In the future, if you want ridiculously bright LEDs check out VLEDs. They make some of the brightest bulbs out there, made in the US and their customer service is top notch. I used to be a fan of TRS, but learned they mostly sell the same cheap made in China lights that you can get on Amazon, just with a steep mark up. I now try and stick with VLEDS or Diode Dynamics products.

 

I have all Diode Dynamics (well and MESO) lights everywhere else in the truck. VLED didn't sell an all in one bulb like this. They have some killer lights, but unfortunately the 7440 bulbs they sell either need a resistor tapped into the OEM harness wiring, or for you to run a driver/resistor box.

$74...seems a bit steep for bulbs. probably pass

 

Took a video of the truck last night, sorry it's in Portrait mode.

I know the Raptor lights aren't for everyone, these are the smoked amber ones from R4T - They are surprisingly bright even put up against all the rest of the high end LED stuff on the truck. They are hooked up with a R4T DRL harness so it's a pretty slick install.

EDIT:
Yes I agree $75 is steep for two bulbs. I tried to find something more cost effective but it simply doesn't exist. However, factoring in what I have spent on the rest of my lighting, it's cheap. Truck is almost ready for a build thread LOL

 

cool lights though. The sequential DRL turn signals is cool. I think the LED turn signals in the middle are bright as hell in the video. Im blind just looking at the video.

 

Got these installed over the weekend. Great support from @no vtec 4me on a few issues I encountered. Super happy with how they turned out!

 

Great looking lights and amber goes great on QS. I remember when he started doing these. Has become Very reputable and does great work. I will be sending him some one of a kind headlights to make repairs on when I get the time and $.

 

Putting some finishing touches on these lights for @Hogbaseball06

Cement color match, quad projectors, quad amber halos and amber drl’s. Such a sweet set up!

 

I want to see these installed! I've been thinking of trying the color match on my inferno but its a lot of work to find out it doesn't look good.

 

I'll take pics as soon as I get them installed! Not going to lie nervous about the color match too but they look great and really like all of @no vtec 4me work.

 

must see these installed….

 

These are the stock lights in my 2017 SR. All I’m looking for is for the housing to be black on the inside. Just a basic setup where I can swap these lights for a new set with the black housings exactly like a 2017 trd pro. I don’t want to mess with any electrical or changing of bulbs and what not and I want to keep the amber side markers. Purely an aesthetic purchase. If I buy the new headlights from you with the black housings and keep my own how much $$ would this run me?

 

Message incoming!

 

Got some nice sets of oem headlights sitting on the shelf if anyone wants a retrofit build!
