    Yeah if they lived in snow or ice or whatever I could see the point but they do tend to be people that will never actually use the 4wd. But in the end it is there truck not mine so oh wellz. Most people here don't even have 4wd even of they are crazy lifted and all

    I'd love a retro, but it seems above my skill level to get it perfect

    I've checked on here. It's not too much to have someone do it for you, just depends on what you would want(color reflector, halo, what projector, etc).

    If you go with just a projector and housing, it's like $90 for projectors, and the cost of the housing, an I think the guy quoted me $100 labor. If you want a halo ring and paint, add another couple hundred for halo and hundred for paint

    You just take the housings out, bake them in the Oven at 250 for 10min to soften the glue, take the cover off, them you can install the projectors, reassemble the housings, seal them back up with RTV, and it's ready to go back in

    They are ba. For my truck it wouldn't fit just like why I didn't go led. It feels to much like a work truck so to me it flows with standard stuff
