I want to.. But the truck has less than 500 miles on it.. Wouldn't want to f*k it up..

 

Yea, I'd do it. I did do it

If you fubr it too much, worst case is a few hundred for new ones ($114 ea. for mine) or some used ones on CL..

 

Hopefully I can have time while I'm over there and I can help you do it if ya want. Do you know what you want? As far as colors and stuff go...

 

colors? for the BHLM?

 

would u be able to do the bhlm for me too? haha

 

You can paint the blinkers black, pain the reflector, color the blinker and reflector orange to match...

I recommend painting everything satin black, then painting the reflector and blinker orange. Looks nice, ill post a pic of what it looks likes after work today.

Yes 808 I probly could!

 

I picked these up on eBay for the set. Cost was like 165.00 plus 50.00 shipping. Not a bad deal. More props to u if u do it urself.

 

200.00 doesnt sound like a bad deal... how are they holding up?

 

Here are a few pics from my BHLMS

Now when i say choosing a color look at my reflectors (pic 1&2) in the different pics. I have colored them orange to match each other. The other one has just been tinted darker (pic4). All lights, i have left the blinker bowl chrome and opted not to paint it. You can paint it if wanted tho. I used Krylon stained glass spray paint to paint the reflectors.

I have also painted the bulb shield in one of the photos. (1&2) I am the only one who i have seen do this before. There is a whole other thread on that topic. It DID NOT hinder light output in any way.

I also have an HID kit if anyone is interested.. Pretty cheap, probly like 40 bucks and no shipping if anyone wants it. Get back to me tonight if you do. It has a slight flicker in the passenger bulb but hardly noticable.

And if someone is really interested i would recommend doing a retrofit if your going to be in your headlights. Light output is outrageous and amazing!

Pic 3 is stock lights

Without further wait, some light pics:

 

OHHH I GET IT!! NICE

 

Asianized checkin in from exit 8 aka wahiawa

 

Thats pretty sick! i was gonna do mine too but i was scared...lol

 

what if the turn signals burnt how for fix that

 

Did the bulb burn? The blinker cover? The bezel? If plastic pieces are burn you have to take the light apart and swap them out.

 

Fake TRD Sport on Craigslist

This guy is trying to sell a fake TRD Sport on Craigslist. Looks like its a base truck with TRD Sport stickers.

Hahaha I like that... So classic. I wonder if its really 4x4

 

I passed recon with them as long as the reflectors are not painted.
That goes for the corner lights too.

 

What about retofits though? My reflectors are painted because with the retrofit they're not needed.

 

From my understanding the retrofits are not legal. I dont know anyone who has passed recon with those. Safety check is possible if they let it go or dont notice but some people fail. HIDs are only legal if the vehicle came with them. Most projector headlights have a seperate non-projector lense for high beams. Thats why the some ebay lights pass.

 

That is totally gonna suck if I fail...
