    Yeah, Yeah. It will all be blacked out after R&D is done.

    Speaking of..... Messing around with some Amber DRL demon eyes.
    This is only 1 LED per section!!(4 total)
    Will be printing some custom brackets that will hold 4 per light = 16 total.:devil:

    Since the turn signal bucket is gone, I am thinking about making these switchback for turn signals.

    JESUS!! You're a wizard!
    Outstanding work as with all your unique mods.

    What are those projectors out of again?
    My favorite lights are the LEXUS RCF

    Gracias. Now let's just hope they fit the Tacoma housing.
    They are from the Acura RLX.
    Those RCF's are dope, but the shape doesn't look like it will fit the Tacos.

    IMG_9192.jpg I want to open mine up and black em out, but I'm so paranoid about messing up or getting moisture in there or something. Haha worst case scenario runs through my head whenever I think about it

    BHLM'ing at this moment..
    Hell this is stressful work lol

    Paints 1st coat is drying while i chip away at the "satans snot"
    Got a bit of orange peal on the 1st coat.. Grrrr tiny spot but most noticeable spot of course.

    Opted on spraying the signal and bright cups with lens tint. Worked well!
    Very reflective and covers the chrome. Guess I'll see how it affects the light output.

    Fun stuff. Better throw a high output bulb in that turn socket to compensate for blacked out.
