    Did you make the clear lens or get that from an aftermarket light?

    This past weekend I received some retrofit projector headlights from @LSC15 . I absolutely love them. They absolutely transform the front of the truck, provides much better light at night (although I still need to aim them), and the halos turn heads when I'm driving down the street. Everyone I've shown them to love them as much as I do. They turned out great and exactly as I imagined them.

    Now, on to the pictures:

    First, a little before.



    The stock were starting to fog over and just didn't produce the light quality I wanted and needed for safe driving at night.



    Some detail photos I received from Logan as they were being made.










    Logan also provides the best customer service I have encountered. Answered every question I had during install graciously, even if I answered some of them myself after I sent the text. Even wished me a happy birthday, something I haven't gotten before from someone who has made something I've purchased. A very personable experience that I very much enjoyed.

    Now for when I installed them:







    This ^^ one ^^ was before I wired the halos.





    Just the halos on. Have them hooked up to the wires for the corner lights. Love that I have the option to turn them off if I'd like.



    Then both the headlights and halos on. Creates quite a bit of light. HUGE improvement from stock. I almost wasn't able to tell whether my lights were on or not with the stock headlights. Now I'm able to light up trees over a football field away. (Something I wouldn't even dream of being able to with stock.)







    And some more shots from today before I show the light quality.



    Inside the truck (love how much more light it produces).



    And outside of the truck (this was with hi-beams on). After a lot of research and luckily stumbling upon Logan's retrofit services on this forum, I decided upon spending the extra money on retrofit's. Was originally going to get better bulbs, but loved the look, clean cut-off lines and light production of these lights, and the many, many people that have raved about the style of headlight that I read about during my research.

    Thanks again to Logan for producing a very high quality headlight and for getting it to me so promptly and for a great price. Couldn't be happier with how they turned out. I'll be sure to update how they hold up every 3 months or so.

    On those switchback shrouds, is there a resistor to prevent hyperblinking? Do they work with DRLs in the 12-15 model years?

    Got the lights installed. They look great!!! The HID's are all wired up and work great both low and high beams. The red demon eyes are all wired up and work great with the remote. The switchbacks are wired up and the amber halo works when DRL switch is on inside cab and when the turn signal or emergency flashers are on. Im not sure how to wire up the white halos. They will work if I wire them up the the battery but they would stay on all the time even if the key is removed from the ignition. So...what do i do with the white wires for the halos? How do I wire them up? Morimoto website says just wire them up to a 12 DC source.

    Finished these sweet retros up for a buddy. Paint matched bezel and reflector bowl with gloss black reflector, turn signal bowl and shroud with dual switchback halos. Wires amber to DRL and still function as turn signal. Then white comes on when headlights are on and still blink with turn signal. Came out cery clean and refinished lens after install
