    I just wanted to say thank you for this thread in help with my mod, after browsing and researching, I was able to complete my headlight mod, with the Diode Dynamics DRL switchback board, and 80mm switchback halos! definitely a challenging project! I definitely needed more 24 gauge splicers in the end!

    So I'd have to look at my notes, you need three wires for the switchback halos I hooked up, white (hot) black (grnd) yellow (indicator) there is a control box you wire plug into the Halo connector, and you will need 22-24 gauge t splicer, so both right and left headlights have different color wires, but the easiest way would be to wire hot (white) to the outside Amber headlight lamp ground to any ground available, they are marked as white/black on the truck wiring. And yellow to the inner turn signal that should complete the switchback wiring. If your running a trd trim.

    Kings, 275/70/17, a few custom items, lots of Meso mods.
    Some have a 4th wire to run @50% when lights are on if you choose. Here is Diode dynamics wiring from their website.

    Bought some on Amazon and used a heat gun and dremel tool to shape it. I made one section so it would be able to be screwed in then used clear epoxy to keep it in place. Others have just used the epoxy with good results. But the acrylic sheet molds pretty good to the oem piece

    There were 2 sets for sale this week but both sold. Going quick these days since the prices have dropped so much. Good luck

    What shoes? Dusting off my retrofit stash. Too bad I can't use the TL projectors. It fits nicely after hacking up the mounting bracket, but then the huge solenoid hits the front cover.

    Ordered some RX's. Slowly making progress. Got some custom stuff in the works that I haven't seen done yet.

    One amber LED swap done! I'm excited for these. Thanks to @mesojdm for the tips! retro_drl01.jpg

    I’ve been wanting to do my headlights at some point soon. But... Why do them yourself when you can buy them for $3,500 without LED on eBay??? :rofl:

    The damn truck better come with them for that much!!!
