1st Retrofit

This will be my first retrofit attempt. Definitely not a professional painter, but I’m pretty happy with how the paint scheme turned out.

 

Nice job and it looks professional to me!

 

Do you have a before and after pic?

 

only see 1 Pic and they both look the same!

My mistake didn't read it right!!!

 

Which projector you using?

 

G5-R

 

I’ll have to see. I just used the standard factory Tacoma lights, used oven cleaner to strip the chrome, scuffed them and sprayed with factory Pyrite Mica then taped and sprayed with matted black.
Now I just have to figure out how to put this all together. Lol

 

Looks good! Before you put the lenses back on I would recommend checking the light cutoff to make sure it’s level before putting everything back together. When I did mine, I didn’t check cut off and it was slightly off on both lights and it would have been easier to straighten it out prior to putting all back together. Just my .02.

 

Great advice. Thank you!

 

Im at the same place on my build. lol Except I didn't do the silver like you did. Looks good though.

How did you mount the shroud?

 

The shrouds just usually mount with 5 minute epoxy

 

Here's my first retrofit. Put them together about a year ago and haven't had any issues. I may be redoing them to add a amber rear halo or something like that.

 

Following this thread. Inspired. Been wanting to do this. Looks great so far!
