    The halo needs to fit the stock bezel, not the projector but would basically be the same thing. 80mm are what you need. Not sure on the wiring for the lights.

    Is there clearance issues for the cap when you put it back on the truck? I'm looking for ideas to seal the rear. Also where did you get it? Thanks.

    What’s the difference from the “retroquick” version and this version?

    So I couldn't get paint/plastidip to stick to the halo to make "angry eyes" so I left it as it. Also can't figure out how to upload a video here so I took some screenshots of videos I had. But here she is! Sorry for the late post lol it's been some time since I did this project.

    -80mm Morimoto Profle Prism RGB Halos w/switchback (shaved off tabs and used JB Weld)
    -Morimoto Profile Prism RGB Demon Eyes

    The next thing I want to do is upgrade the projectors but not sure if to get the H11 mini or RX350. Help!

    The Profile Hi-Lens fits the perfect in the high beam location. I wish I did it the first time around..

    Fully functional. I have quad hi beams now. The hi-lens are hi beam only and has a dtrl function but was too much for my taste.

    The RX350 projectors are bi-xenon.

    So I paid someone to do the BHLM and RX350 retrofit. Upon receiving the headlights I noticed the high-beam reflector bowls have fingerprints inside of them:frusty:. Rather than paying to send them back and have him fix them I thought about opening them back up myself since they are resealed with retro-rubber now and should be easier to open. So my question is what can I use to clean the finger prints off the reflector bowls? I thought about distilled water and a lens cleaning microfiber. Sound right?

    Glass cleaner and a microfiber rag, that’s all I ever use.

    Okay cool, I was afraid glass cleaner may take off the chrome finish. Is the finish pretty durable and does it scratch easy?
