    Okay, so I’m still in the planning stages, and will be converting my SR headlights to the TRD LED DRL headlights. Anyway, I will be using switchbacks for DRL and turn functionality, so I won’t need the halogen turn signal. Anyone have any cool ideas for this space? I was thinking about an auxiliary high beam? I know this forum has some super creative people, so let’s see what you think! I’m not much of a fabricator unfortunately, but feel free to throw any ideas in there. If I like it, and can do it, I most likely will.

    A pair of Baja Designs S1 for an internal housing ~ double high beam?

    Or VLED switchbacks for double DRL and not use the turn signal*

    I have VLED switchbacks now and kind of thought about that. The light doesn’t really carry that far though. I’m liking the S1 suggestion. I wonder what that would involve?

    I was also considering cramming an H1 headlight bulb in there...

    Edit: maybe I could switch to the VLED extreme whites? They fit a 7440 hole and are pretty dang bright. I have them in my Subaru for reverse lights.

    Some fab for sure. Probably an internal bracket fab'd or 3D printed. Like MESO's

    :rofl:For a guy that isn’t good at fabricating, I’m guessing anything Meso did might be out of my skill range
