3rd Gen BHLM and light mods

Cleanest channels I’ve seen with no pry marks.

 

This is what I got. It was only 99 bucks and I didn't want to kill myself with an ATX PS

 

Thanks!! It’s my business. Zero pry marks. Perfect sealant removal. 400+ sets sold and shipped. I take a lot of pride in my product. Most of my customers never see this part nor can appreciate what it takes to get it like this.

 

Would you mind sharing your tip on the perfectly clean/no pry channel? I’ve wanted to do a retro since my last truck but never got around to it. I really want to give this a go on this one

 

After that many sets you really just get a feel for the rubber. How to work it. Where to pull from. How hard to pull. It’s really about experience. Honestly there’s no magic trick to it. Imagine doing one and sucking at it...and my first one was terrible. But at 50...100...200 everything just makes sense.

 

Looks Great, Ok where did you get the TRD side marker is the decal or a stencil?

 

Vinyl stickers I have made. I’ll post the maker

 

He’s on TW. @rrentrop awesome stickers. I’ve used them for dozens of installs. Hit him up.

 

what brand of retrorubber does everyone use? Is morimoto pretty much the standard?

 

I've always done TRS just because it's easier to buy the rubber from where I bought the rest of the parts as well

 

Yes

 

Almost ready to tackle this one just a few more parts. If I am running more than one switchback any pointers on how to complete this with the cleanest install? I believe that each one requires its own driver and right now I am doing D/D DRL's and Halos. Do I add one tap then split that to two different drivers?

 

another quick question. Do most people bake the lights with painters tape on the lens to protect it from scratches? I think I'm going to begin mine this weekend

 

Tape not required. I’ve never used it.

 

I did the tape to not scratch the lens

 

I would recommend tape, the lenses are pretty easy to scratch. Scratched mine up a bit. I would tape, then if you have a ziplock big enough throw the lenses in there so no dust gets on the other side. It's a pain in the ass to get them clean without scratching them.

 

I need these @rrentrop sent you a PM

 

Just lay em over and trim the edges up. It doesn’t need to be perfect as it has some leeway in the channel to fit back in the frame.

 

These are almost done. Had someone else do some of the work which was a mistake. Going all amber. Halos will be constant Amber only. Drl board, turn and switchback marker light will be turn signals.
