    Also, does anyone know of clear non-LED bulbs (amber lit) that will fit into the turn signals?

    What are they? I just don't want the amber of the bulb reflected in the reflector when it's not on.

    Are our OEM turn signals a clear bulb? My Retros turn signal reflectors were left chrome.

    I think I needed something to break up the whole blacked out front end so it's all right, plus this set was already sealed up when he was selling.

    Retro's are hopefully going in Saturday.

    I epoxied the side mount damage and also siliconed around the lens as an extra precaution. Burt used the grey butyl (?) already, but there were some spots I thought needed a bit more work. I would much rather spend 15 minutes doing it now then wait and get moisture in there later.

    Big thanks to joneill03 for helping me with install. Went pretty smoothly with one hiccup. Long story short, I will be without marker lights for a little bit, but should be back in service within a week or two.

    Going to try and make sure they're aimed tonight if I find a wall and flat surface to do it on.

    I think I will eventually try and get LED bulbs and resistors so the turn signals aren't reflecting amber, but I'm super happy for now.

    Every truck should have retros. Makes a world of difference in look and light performance

    I don't know enough about them or even have the money set aside for them.

    I just know i want a dark housing, a bright as fuck projector, and white halos. And i'd need someone to install them because i can't wire anything to save my life.

    wiring on these is about as easy as wiring gets. main relay goes to ballasts, ground, battery, factory headlight plug, and something else cant remember right now. ballast goes to hid and ground. halos get spliced into marker light wires. done.

    Aiming should be done. They still seem kind of high to me though. I even went a little below 40'' at 25' since they seemed super high at that measurement. It may have just been the slight incline of the spot I went to measure them at but we will see if anyone flashes their lights at me over time.

    Sorry for potato quality, I will get some updated quality pictures after finals.
