    Off topic, are you familiar with the OPT7 Fluxbeam X headlights? Any thoughts on these if you're familiar with them?

    What a fun truck!
    Would you still be running the extra light tube along the perimeter for the non-BROPROs? Or am I just not seeing it in this post? o_O

    decent brand, but I have not used them first hand..sorry . I typically don't like throwing random LED's in standard projectors. It's a quick fix for some more light... but a projector retro(with proper components) is the right way to go.
    Yes, these will have the raptor glow..I just haven't got around to installing them

    No youre fine as long as the heatsink on the back has good space around it. The LED module inside the projector itself is not making much heat at all

    @mesojdm there have been quite a few refinements. Would you be able to PM me your current taillights images and what option they will be fitted with along with pricing. I've been eagerly watching.

    If Using a socket style bulb(LED, incandescent, whatever), you will loose A LOT of performance with it completely blacked out .
    It relies heavily on the reflectiveness inside the bucket. Not saying that it can't be done...but my builds are performance orientated, and the loss of output would not be satisfactory for me.
    The blacked out picture I posted was actually my personal set I am building. Since I am using a custom LED turn signal board, the interior color is not important.
    Here is what I mean:
