    OP thanks for posting this thread! I'd love to see a shot of the projector cutoff and output at night if you get the chance.

    Those taillights look sweet but I honestly can’t see a huge difference in the headlights between the OR and the PRO.

    I think the stock Pro headlights are $1600 ... still a lot of money.

    Hey OP - so you had to cut off the module for the DRLs that come connected to the replacements??

    I'm one of those guys that probably wants to hook up a plug instead of hacking my stock wire harness for this. Any idea what plug I need??

    They also tag the guy so I think thats a good source too.

    I would use something like this. You would cut the three factory drl wires a few inches from their housing so you could always have enough to reconnect if you decide yo go back. I used these connections on all my under hood wiring and have had no issues. SR5 models is all plug n play.068F3349-D734-4CD2-95F6-79C2B99F3445.jpg

    So if I have an Off-road which already has the led drl is this a plug and play? Or is splicing required

    Splicing of only the drl wires not the other three sets

    Yea the online thing is just an algorithm. A dealer in Atlanta had great prices for door handles and the shipping just calculated cost with more weight I value, 4 handles do not cost $68 to ship from one lower to another lower 48 where Athens estimate was $20 at most...when I called him because I felt obligated to check why, he said he’ll adjust it to 18.95 shipped...wow. Sometimes they make thier margin off people willing to pay that shipping...but this ain’t eBay..

    They look like three amber puddle lights. Ive seen a few like that. A spin off of the traditional raptor style

    Did you have to do much adjusting to the beam pattern out of the box?

    No not really. They did get adjusted but I may dial them back to how they originally were. Did walk out to my truck today and got hit up where I got the tailights from. Showed them the headlamps too think they were sold they had an sr5
