    Good idea on the reflective tape! That's why I kept my OEM sides.

    Finally got everything installed. They look great, but man, what a pain. I can’t believe anyone is able to get this done in a weekend.

    My last hurdle is wiring up the Meso stage one side markers. I incorrectly assumed that they would be plug and play, like everything else that I’ve bought from him, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. Can anyone help me out?

    I know that I’m not adding much value to this thread since I didn’t do anything particularly unique with my headlights, but man what a difference they make! The Meso side markers are amazing.

    In the process of a headlight retrofit. Going to be adding drl RGB board, demon eyes and RGB halos.. but on the halos I’m wanting to make them angry eyes. What is a preferred successful method for the angry eyes? Any help is appreciated :thumbsup:

    Consensus of 70mm dust cap for the back of the projector? Or should I go 65mm?

    What about temp and time? 300 for 10 minutes seems general consensus

    Anyone got any permaseal tricks? I tried the cold method, the heat gun method, and in and out of the oven method. Cold didn’t work much but when it did the channel was clean. Heat gun method did more damage than help. And the in and out of the oven method didn’t work the best. I did 300 degrees for 10 minutes for the oven method.

    The rest of it's still on the truck I bet. They didn't want to remove the bumper so they just cut them looks like. Someone did that and ran them that way without issue.

    Did you add an amber insert for the turn signal or is that just an amber bulb?

    Just a reflection. I didn't do anything to the buckets and that's the stock bulb.

    Just finished mine the other day. Royal pain but damn it was worth it. Rx350 projectors with Osram CBI 5500k, Morimoto wiring, Meso stage 1 side marker, diode dynamics switchback drl, smoked turn signal covers, high beam splitter with Osram 75w 6000k h9 bulbs. And to top it off Diode dynamics ss3 sport sae fogs. I’ll post output when dark comes.
