CLOSED - The Retrofit Source GB

u need the xsb switchback box and wire that to a ignition on 12v source then wires into the low beam of the head light so its on when the head lights arent. If u went with the dtrl then it would be a blinker also.

 

Yeah I think I want it to be a blinker, however, aren't the Dtrls on when headlights are on as well? Might have to just wire to a switch so I can rock them whenever

 

mines a 2011 and turns off when the headlights r on. Blinker was too ricey for me so i opted no halos since i didnt want all the extra work. Plus having to pull them when an LED burns out since im OCD.

 

I thought about using the air compressor, but I figured it wouldn't work

 

Also anyone done a projector retrofit and have the eyelid on the headlights?

 

worth a try. where is the sand at? U may be able to vacuum one hole and use the compressor on the other and create a loop of suction basically. or shake it out if u take the headlight off.

 

There's only one hole on the back of the headlight

 

He's talking about the two holes in back that have the removable rubber caps with foam in them.

 

Ooooooh, never messed with those

 

read my mind. But also was un aware of first gen headlight holes.....Mine has 3 regular ones.

 

worth a try....im just spitballin here anyways

 

Yeah i think I'm just gonna hook them up to my Spod and turn them on when I wanna showboat lol

 

I have an 08 so no dtrl. I tapped mine into the wire that goes to the outside bulb by the fender and the blinker wire (yellow) to the inside bulb by the grill. I read someone say the led ring will get too hot if it's on with the headlights on but isn't that how most cars come stock that have halos? I also don't know any other way to do it besides run a switch to the cab but I would never remember to turn them on and off

 

in like 5 years when u get time to do them lol. Ya i was gonna do the switch but the OCD in me said dont do them at all since alot of guys have had some burn out and if it was even 1 led i couldnt stand it.

 

If mine burn out, I'm just unhooking them bitches and voila, no halos. No way in hell I'm going to take it apart to swap halos.

 

Maybe I'll try it over spring break if I drive my truck home

 

I'm still rocking their v1 xsb since the day it came out. Works great and much more reliable. I have mine on all day during the day and the switchback function on all night, even with my projectors on. So much better than their crappy COB versions. But I feel yalls pain on opening them up again

 

That's good to know. I have their v2 xsb.

 

Which shroud?

 

I exploded my corner pods trying to get dust out using an air compressor Be careful to leave lots of space for the air to Es-Ca-Pe
