    ^ You've got yourself a lot to work to do in filling all those empty slots. . . That sounds like a great problem.

    Issue with the halos is the wires to both plugs were swapped neg to pos, caught it when I had my tester out and switched, soldered, and heat shrinked it all back up as good as new.

    All I have to say is I'm crazy OCD and am probably your toughest customer. I can't even express how impressed I have been with you RAD not to mention the lights themselves look amazing and so damn flawless. Here's the deal guys, ordered them and got the Multicam black bowls, down the road they were having issues getting all that paint from the airbrush to properly cure, so we decided to do black instead. No big deal I told them and they could have just sent them out and who cares down the road but they were open and honest about everything. They took care of me like American companies used to do back in the day. They prewired what they could and seal everything up flawlessly. Were they expensive? HELL YES to me anyways. Are they amazing? YES!!! I always prefer quality over anything else and I do things right the first time always, even if it's not the easiest or the fastest. When I get a new Raptor in a few years I'll be going back to these guys again for a build. Buy once, cry once boys... RAD keep up the great work

    Such kind words as we value your business sir. Like any business in their early stages, we've encountered problems that needed attention. We've learned from them & will only continue to strive further in a positive direction. Thank you and i'll admit. Those lights look amazing with your textured themed front end. Wish I knew you had that as we could've done that texture in your headlights.

    Lol...Jimmy's a good guy indeed and we appreciate him helping out when I am not in the thread. We've been helping him out as well behind the scene on his build. We look forward in his progress and will continue to assist.

    Time for me to rest up as I just got back from the shop. Its been a long day and all thanks to that fantastic retrofitsource back order. They can't help it but it came at the wrong time. That means longer days with no play.

    Night fellas...

    Thanks for the kind words! Love helping people.

    As Rad mentioned, him and Burt has been helping me with my personal build. And let me tell you, retrofitting from d2s to muranos is no rookie job. Murano is hard and I have to give it to these guys who do it everyday. If they're not perfectly placed, the solenoid will hit the housing and you'll be cussing back and forth!

    Oh btw, RAD can't hire me, Matt Kossoff beat him to it :eek: say what?!

    Do you have a pic of them installed? I must have missed it if you do...glad you got it working. My only concern is wiring up the halos when I get mine.

    RAD was patient as we had a 30+ message conversion and 20 + email exchange as I asked questions and changed my mind on colors, etc.

    Very stoked to get those bad boy and install them soon.

    ^ Supa Hawt Fiyah . . .

    ^ :thumbsup: Always here to help. OEM Projectors like the Acura TL | Murano | LS460-R requires detailed attention. Thats from trimming the projector body correctly. Getting it to mount into the oem bowl organically takes a lot of trial & error. Tuning the projector prior to install and then properly aligning the horizontal beam pattern is time consuming. You can see how these oem projector installs cost a bit more for many reasons. The quality the client receives out of them and the time it takes us to make it happen.

    BTW - When you get DS2 Projectors from us, we don't just screw them into the bowl. We still mount them in properly as we do with the FX-R. That's by measuring them and adding in mounting screws. We don't want to take chances and rely on just the locking nut. We understand our clients like to take their trucks off-road on adventurous weekends. So we want to make sure they're properly secure for longevity purposes.

    @Mph6779 Your KOITO LED Retrofitted lights will be one of a kind indeed. We're proud to have added those to our list of projector options. Those were the most challenging to get it to fit into the Tacoma headlights. However challenge accepted and they came out spectacular! They simply look amazing on your truck and sure look good. Ty kind sir for those kind words. We appreciate your business and thanks for serving our country.

    Kind regards
    RAD

    Thank you sir. . . We answer emails all throughout the day as we receive a lot of them. We do our best to answer every email in complete detail to address every question, concern, or inquiry. We understand the average person will have limited knowledge on what they're buying. We do our best to explain and help guide our clients through the process. The goal is to make each and every build we do personable. I personally enjoy working side by side with our clients to include them in the process. So answering 30+ PM & 20+ Emails with one client is honestly a typical thing for me. I do this even with potential clients going back and forth in helping them make a decision to o avail. So don't feel bad @TacomaArto as I have some email communication with clients that stretch over 100+.

    BTW - ALL EMAILS WERE JUST ANSWERED THIS MORNING

    [ WE WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TW FOR YOUR SUPPORT ]

    Kind regards

    Running a separate hardness/button is the way to go. It will allow you to turn it off and on with the beauty of expanding the life of the Halo. You don't want to run the Halo on when the main projector is turned on as well. It will give off more heat thus resulting in possible potential issues with the Halo. Does it require a little more time to install the wire harness? Yes indeed but the benefits imho is greater. Plus, I love to load my Tacoma dash with cool buttons! Nothing says your more badass than multiple buttons everywhere.
