    First mod I'm doing on my 2015 will be the HID retrofit. ever since driving my moms Acura I've been obsessed with the cutoff and light output of HID's. What I can't decide on is whether i want to leave the housing and reflector stock chrome, go with the BLHM look, or even trying to color match part of the housing to barcelona red (thinking barcelona red on the housing and black or chrome for the reflector portion). I can't find any pics of a retrofit where they left the housing and reflector chrome, anybody got pics of that? Even more of a longshot but I would love to see a pic if anybody has done it would be a barcelona red colormatched housing. I wish there was a gallery of everybody's retrofits, maybe its out there and my search skills were bad. Thanks!

    The reason we don't leave them chrome is because sometimes light will shoot random directions against the chrome.

    Some light does come out of the shroud vents and from behind the shrouds. Al depends on the housing and what angle is shoots the light.


    I think a set like this would look amazing on your truck!
