    Finally had a chance to install the light headlight trim plates I got from CW Customs!

    I absolutely love these, because when the 20+ Pros came out with the new LED headlights, I instantly wanted the TRD PRO lettering that was built into them. But I wasn't spending two mortgage payments on a pair of OEM Pro LED headlights.

    Fortunately, I found these through CW Customs and they turned out great! A much better alternative than having to buy new headlights AND it gets rid of those fake vents too!

    Fully plug and play on the factory projector light too...as they plug into the side marker harness.

    This is the link to them, if anyone is interested.

    This reminds me of Post Malone and his face tattoos. Love his music.

    Can't exactly do that, you'd destroy the headlight housing. There's only about 3/4" of room between the bumper cover and headlight housing. That's why Meso Customs only ever made replacement cover plates. This is about the only other option. That or leave the fake vents there.

    I have the meso headlight trim plates and think this mod takes it a step further. Thanks for the share!
