Andrew @ TRS 2014 Retrofit

For my next trick, I have etched the number of this set of 460Rs onto the solenoids:

 

this needs an UPDATE ANDREW

 

After only 3.5 weeks, my parts are back from the body shop:

 

Is that misty midnight? look straight black

 

It's Piano Black. The Misty Midnight was for the demon eyes, but had to change those plans.

 

damn I wanna see your retro done already

 

when do you think its goina be done?

 

This weekend. I have three Tacoma retrofits to do at once.

 

Mocked up. This is gonna be good

 

Sidemarker in and checked. All good there.

 

Don't forget front and rear pics of projector without shroud!

I am interested in these things!

 

Which sidemarker is that? I hate the stock W5YW's. You are gonna make me redo my headlights again!

 

That's a 2014 Nissan Rogue's LED side marker, made by Koito. The lens is a Carclo 20mm rippled cut to fit the opening in the headlight bezel.

 

Yeah I recognized the lense, but that LED looks great. Wish I lived closer to you.

 

Going down now:

 

Do you have an easy way of squeezing the headlight back in for mockup? Taking mine out yesterday I had to really "yank" on them cause that side bracket kept getting stuck under the bumper

 

There really isn't an easy way, but it is much easier with the lens off!


Andrew, don't forget the pictures....

 

You still have to spin it to get it out, but once you do it, you'll have the lights in and out in no time.

 

Best I got of the gluing process:
