No good pictures unfortunately. The projectors are ds2 minis or something like that. Stripped the chrome off the shrouds and color matched them.

Got that big Tacoma halo TRS offered for a while,and demon eyes, but I haven't hooked them up yet, because it's a lot of wiring I'm not sure where I want to hide.

I got a smoked reflector for the sides and I put some VHT on the blinker lense.

Far from perfect, but 1/4” wire loom over added wiring goes a long way toward not looking like a hack job. Larger loom for groups of wires, of course. Black zip ties every 6” or so and black electrical tape on the ends looks more professional.

I keep it on hand so I’m not even tempted to leave the wires bare. I just ran out recently so I can actually remember where I bought it. Autozone for some over 1/4” sizes and Amazon for the 1/4”. Cheap and might even offer a bit of protection to your wiring.

Night-boss gets on me if she sees wires hanging down

What is everyone using for housings for their retrofits? My OEM ones are faded and figured I could go with cheaper housings like TYC or DEPO since I will be retrofitting them and resealing anyways. Just a bit concerned with aligning them and the lenses fading/peeling prematurely.

I was looking at them, seems almost too good (cheap) to be true tho lol. Have you used them? Worrying about fading/chipping even if I ceramic coat them
