How long you down here for?

sorry cuz id help you out if i knew how

 

Do you have the parts? Ive done a few retros.

 

yup i will soon hopefully one the gb goes through, when i get it would u be able to do it for me?

 

I noticed you have a 2012, I've only done 05-11 but it should be the same, I'll have to research. Lemme know when your parts come in then we can set something up.

 

sounds good, thanks bradah appreciate it.

 

Oahu members. just got these headlights. using them for my retrofits. there pretty much smoke, with no amber on the corner. just a few question. do you guys think this is illegal for not having the amber part? and since the lense itself is smoke, do you guys think it'll affect the way the projectors project lights(if that makes sense)?

 

I'm pretty sure amber reflectors are a safety/recon item, hence why my clear corners are technically illegal

but I dont think the smoked housing should diminish the projectors that much, they look clear enough to let lots of light through.

my tails are smoked but they don't dim my LED's much at all

 

Yeah the amber corners are DOT required. As for the projector, it will require a HID which is also illegal and won't pass safety inspection. But, you can do what I do and run it anyway and buy a cheap used OEM set and switch them out once a year for inspections.

 

dylpickel2004- got them off of eBay. it was from a private seller. it doesn't have any stamping of any manufacturer on the light housing, so I can't really tell you who makes it.

 

damn, that's what I was afraid of. but since I'm gonna retro it out, I might as well run it right hahaha. we'll see, I'll keep my stock ones on the side in case I get enough tickets from the popos to validate in putting it back

 

thanks man. I'm going with the morimoto mini D2S 2.0. from what I've read should be an easy install. But we'll see since this is my first attempt at it.

 

Those look sharp

 

finished one side. took me almost the whole day. ran to a few problems, and didn't want to half a** it. pics doesn't say much, but it looks a lot better in person.

 

NICE!!!

 

we'll see when everything is put together. I know it won't be as badass as FX-R or the high end kits. went with this for the easy install, affordability, and it has a lot of good reviews. by the way I got my kit off of TRS.

 

thanks man

 

Wassup Oahu? Not to much action on here lately.....just figure I stop by and say howzit!

 

finally got it installed. so happy with it. took me a while to figure out the wiring on the solenoid, but got it done. now just gotta work on the aiming. thinking about getting lamin-x tint for the fog just to match it a little bit. let me know what you guys think.

 

dang, looks tight man. How long did it take u to do the retro?

 

808Bradah- thanks man. took me about 2 days for both lights. my first time doing it. gotta see in the long run how the lights holds up.
