    Those are pretty slick. My truck has DRL though and I ended up going with the Morimotos. If I didn't have DRL, I would have given those a shot.

    Retrofit man. Anything you buy aftermarket, minus the Morimoto XBs, are going to be a downgrade. Throw an RX350 Projector in there and it'll blow your mind.

    I keep wanting to buy a set of TRD lights to retrofit and swap into my sr5. I'll probably screw it up though.

    Looking through the thread where Meso did it, it just looks easier for me to take it to my local custom shop..

    Shit I did it and it wasn't too bad. My only recommendation is keep it simple. I have halos and switchbacks and its a PITA. Just do the projector.

    Retrofits do interest me! Isn’t that a custom deal though? Like how’s everything work?

    I'll have to look into it more. I'd just want upgraded projectors for HID's and maybe some of the chrome blacked out.

    Felt like I've been standing on that soap box all alone. Glad to know that I'm not alone and others have noticed.

    I'd recommend retrofitting even if you don't do it yourself! First time I've ever done a pair and I blacked the housing out, added the @MESO switchback side marker, @Diode Dynamics switchback halo (only ran as white currently) and switchback DRL board! Was tedious but learned a ton!
