    Bummer, I've never seen one or owned a Grillcraft, so didn't make any sense to me. :eek:

    You can probably pull it out by using needle nose pliers. The screws are not very secure

    Always seemed like GC was a nice product. Is there no other way to mount them or is it a chintzy grill? or nice grill with shit mounting options?

    I got my retrofit headlights installed and during the alignment process I noticed that the vertical adjustment knob on the driver side wasn't moving the output at all. I then realized that the whole reflector bowl could be easily moved by pushing on the back of the projector. Is there any way to fix this, short of taking my headlights apart? Or am I missing something?

    You might ask in the lighting section. I have no clue about retros, but not sure how many people who do will see this post to help you if it's buried here. Or shoot a PM to Andrew @ TRS

    What?! Damn that sucks!! I dont see how they could have gotten it out(without opening hood) without screwing it all up. I mean its a lot more secure then some aftermarket grills (some other grills are held on by zip ties).
    Sorry dude!

    Drove it to work, something I pretty much never do and, put my license plates on. Forgot, I added a sticker, has absolutely nothing to do with Toyota, TRD, off-roading, etc.

    Put my new black tail lights on and also installed my U-bolt flip kit. I use LED bulbs for my blinkers thats why it's not amber (clear until blinking, then amber).

    Looks good, do they not already come with LED's? I had assumed the Depot lights were already set up that way. I see your from Orlando. I used to live in Oviedo, bout 20min. north of Orlando.

    Thanks Ebay. Like $138 shipped i think it was
    Thanks!

    Yes they do come with the brake light LED's(the circle) just like OEM. For the top and bottom bulbs (orange blinkers and clear reverse lights) they are just a regular filament bulb just like OEM. Basically its exactly like the newer LED lights except all the Chrome is black.
    I use a clear LED bulb style light for the blinkers because the regular orange bulb makes it look almost like the whole lens is orange.
