Default Lets see your "Retrofit" lights (Picture Heavy)

So while I'm waiting on my retrofitted head/fog lights i wanted to start a new thread for those of us who have taken "the plunge" and upgraded from OEM. Also this thread will hopefully be helpful for people on the fence about what direction to go with their projects. I know folks like Bilinvic and Tuxedoblack11 have a few threads going but id like to offer a chance to show off your hard earned or built product. The rules are simple, please include...

1. Who did the retrofit
2. Retrofit Specs (i.e. shroud, ballast, projector etc.)
3. Pictures

Ive seen plenty of great retrofits on this site so lets see them!!

Thats my purpose for starting this thread! Its for vendors, builders, and DIY guys to showcase their work. Its also for those of us who are looking to see some amazing work and get ideas. Come on ya'll who will be the first set posted with pics on here? Ill even admit that...

I am making mine myself, but slow and steady and they will be finished soon!

5Five Morimoto 55w setup, CCFL halos, Panamera shrouds, 5000k FXR projectors. I've had them fired up and they are amazing!

Ive been watching your thread bud and i was thinking it would be a tie between you and "TheBlack2011FX4" on who posted pics first. Im really glad to see that new harness allowed you to actually get them fired up and your work will hopefully inspire many other projects after.

Yeah thanks man haha, I'm actually really loving the project. Gives me something to do but there's no real obligation to rush to get it done (except for the hype and every time I drive at night I get a little more pissed off at the factory halogens) so it's a neat little side project during my spare time. I never ended up getting a new relay harness from TRS, it's just a testing harness that they never included. Unfortunately I can't have both fired at the same time..such is life. I'm getting close to being done! It's not hard work at all once you get the lens cracked open IMO, just time consuming.

Here are mine done by Tux. Chrome heads with FX-R 3.0 3" projectors, 5Five ballasts and 5K bulbs with gatling gun shrouds (don't hold me to these 100% as I've probably forgotten exactly what they were). Also have the side reflector covered in vinyl with F-150 cut out and LEDs around it functioning as a running light and turn signal







Subtle but just enough difference to notice. Love the light output as well

Your set is increadible! It was the first set i ever saw with the turn signal mod and thats what made me decide to go with Tux on a retrofit when i signed up for one last year. So thank YOU lol

I'm not the first with it, I believe Bender had them first and I loved them on his sterling gray so I had them done on mine too. That's probably my favorite feature of them other than the light output
