    All these damn blackfriday sales have me wanting stuff so this is a Feeler. I have a set of retrofitted headlights cam on the truck when I bought it they've been great but I really want something with a nice drl and sequential lights. I'm thinking 300 obo but I don't know how to price them as I don't know what goes into a build. Shoot me some offers. Just need some offers to help me decide if it's work selling or just keeping them. IMG_20211108_194352_183.jpg 20210609_190538.jpg

    $300 is a steal. Used stock headlights don’t sell for much less than that.

    Also, post some pics of the light output!

    Hello, it would aid in your request if you would provide a better shot of both headlights for an overall condition assessment. Then if you make out any weighting on the projectors and are the housings OEM? I'm just down the hill from you, Lexington. And, BTW nice Taco. How would you rate the light output? What light bulb are you pushing them with? Thanks

    Oh, and what kind of horns are you pushing? I'm in the market for something louder and better toned than OEM and could use a good recommendation?

    Thanks for the recommendations. I honestly haven't got around to taking more pictures ya know the holidays and all that. As far as the projectors I have no idea what was used as I did not make them myself. The bulbs are morimoto H1 or 2 I don't remember. I believe 6000K also can't remember I can verify but I'll have to did through my email to find my receipt from trs. They do have good output. One thing I have noticed is they are a tad but shakey when hitting bumps at high speed. Can probably be tightened (I think?) But overall great lights. One more thing I just remembered is a bulb looks like it was dropped inside when the PO tried to change it and I assume couldn't get it out. I'll get more pics tomorrow.

    The horns are hella supertones. Much louder than stock and definitely a different tone, I like the tone myself but it's not for everyone. More of a higher tone like a rally car. Easy install and good results another plus was the color for me it was a 3 for 1 upgrade. If you want them more displaying like mine you'll have to make a bracket or use a behind the grill bracket. I used a BAMF light bar bracket that I've had for awhile. Never bought a light bar so I figured it could hold other things aswell. Made a great bracket for these horns

    All good, thanks for the reply. I recently dropped a DRL bulb in one of my housings when changing it. I actually ended up being able to get it out with a set of like 15" thin sis kebab sticks used like chopsticks. It didn't get the bulb out on the first try. I had to walk away from it a few times but it beat taking the housing off for sure. :bananadead: No worries as to getting more pics, I know how it is with the fam and all. Happy Thanksgiving.

    Let me know if you need a set of stock housings to fill the holes after the removal of the retro fits.
