    Thanks for the pics - just bumping for a pic of your headlamps on (from the front).

    Anyway to remove that 'M' do you think? I really want to do the bi-leds for my retrofits, but that is unappealing.

    Forget Bi-LEDs... Bi-Xenon is so much better... and the exact same amount of work. To top if off, if there's an issue with a ballast or capsule later on, you can replace just that part. If an LED module fails, you'll have to open up the lamp again to remove and replace.

    I appreciate it, but I don't care for ballasts and all the warm-up/shenanigans that happens with Xenons. Everyone is crazy comfortable with LEDs on everything else, I don't know if I understand why headlights throw people off so much.

    There’s a reason most new car manuf are going over to LED based headlights. Designed correctly and they should outlast xenon maybe even the life of the vehicle. Also, in my case with the T4R headlights... the factory projector is a side firing due to limited space in the rear. So a bi xenon would not even fit without major modifications. I will admit, HID have a little edge on LED projectors (at this time) but they are coming very close.
    Yup, just take some high temp aluminum tape and tape over the M on the cutoff shield.

    I have been running these for a few nights and I am very supprised by the cutoff and light throw. It is a better cutoff than my taco bi-leds

    Man, that t4r looks slick. My wife and I have always wanted to get her one, but with her going to school we have put it off for now. This agitates the wallet bug though. @mesojdm and plans to go full MESO on the t4r headlights like you did with your rig?

    I’ve got a set of jewel eyes I was going to use for the taco but the T4R might be a better fit. This current retro was just a quicky(1day) because I can’t handle stock. Later on I’ll build some better ones

    Absolutely amazing. Congrats on the new place. What’s your take on the new wrap? Is it true that a wrapped vehicle only lasts like 3-4 years and then it’s starts to come off and you have to do it again?

    It might not "come off", but after a few years a wrap will start to show its age aka sun fading. Theres a chance that corners may start to lift too. A good wrap should stay pretty well settled though.

    I think I saw some of those headlights on a rack at Headlights NW today. They do some great work. Your wife's rig is looking sharp.
