CLOSED - The Retrofit Source GB

I think I need to order the 100mm halos ASAP.

My 110mm ones are atached with JB Weld steel stick. I wonder how hard they'd be to remove without damaging anything?

 

keep the photos coming, looks good. After you paint the bezels do you bake them again?

 

Thanks.

I may bake them, but I don't think it's necessary. I'm gonna give em a few days to cure before I assemble them.

I don't plan on assembling the lights until Thursday or Friday as I'm waiting on a few parts to come in still. (New halos, new reflectors, and DTRL lenses)

I just pulled the trigger on a set of 100mm halos. I hope I can get the 110mm's off with out damaging them or the shroud.

 

Bright enough as in if I go switchback halos as my turn signals, will they still be visible at night with my headlights on so people can see my turn signal? And why the taillight? If I wire the white to a switch but the amber to my turn signals the amber will always come on with my turn signals right?

 

Yes you will be fine wiring the amber to the turn signals up front. The 2nd gens have to wire them to the rears.

 

Oh okay gotcha. Yeah my boyfriend has a 1st gen and I have a 3rd gen runner. Thank you

 

Also, I got the halos off with no issue. Just used a little pick and small flat screw driver. I guess they werent prep'd too well. Lol.

 

Where did you order new dtrl lenses? It would be nice to rejuvenate my old backup pair

 

I bought a spare set of lights for parts that had a good set of DTRL lenses.

I plan tinting a set and if I like the tinted ones, Im going to run them. Ill have a spare good set if youre interested in em.

 

Next question...


Mounting the shrouds? Some say butyl. Some say silicon. Some say JB Weld. Some say clear epoxy. I haven't found a concrete answer though. Thoughts?

 

I used a combo of jb weld and clear epoxy. Butly would be good for helping hold it while the epoxy dries but I don't know if Id rely solely on butyl to hold them on due to heat. Any of the methods should work though jus make sure to test the strength before installing lenses haha

 

Gotcha

Progress.

 

what color/kind of paint is that on the bezel?

It comes out more gloss than flat but I sprayed gloss clear over it to give it a bit more shine.

Looks 100000 times better than black I think.

 

They should be close to bright enough. I'll try to snap a photo or a short video of it tonight if possible. Are you and Aaron both retrofitting?

 

I am for sure as soon as possible. Aarons still in the air about it.

 

@TRSJimmy When is your next shipment expected to arrive? Y'all can't keep the new D2S in stock right now! haha

 

truck looks extra sick what light bar is that?

 

Thanks man! That's a Baja Designs S8 light bar.

 

what ballasts are most of you guys going with?
