They don't have the LED strip so I might pull the trigger
Those are the best looking ones I've seen yet. Simple, not hugely overdone. Get'em Dave and do the first F150 retrofit of TSX projectors into Ebay cheapies. Nobody here has done that yet. There's been a couple Mini H1 retrofits into stockers, but...

Just takes time and patience. I really wish I knew how to mold Fiberglass, then it would be easy to fabricate up a shroud and use some Carbon Fiber
Fiberglassing is easy I hadnt thought of going that route for custom fab'd HID retrofit. Do a nice smooth layer of carbon fiber too, hrmm... Now you've got me thinking.

Funds are tight right now, installing 6 windows, a new front door, painting, new awnings and a Class 4 impact resistant roof has got most of my funds tied up right now.....So the wife is up my *** about money.....but who do you think is paying for it.....LOL

I am full of crazy ideas......I just can not justify someone paying $1100 for a retrofit company to do a projector install.

Lenn, I will probably get them in the next couple of weeks and get to working on them. My truck gets back from the bodyshop tomorrow from getting the new hood on it, so I need to finish the exterior look to it

I guess I just don't get it, and I'm not even old.
I agree, they look too much like rice burner headlights, they need to look mean and tuff like a truck should be.

Yeah, i could care less about the halo's, but i do like the fact that these are all black. Maybe disabling the halo's would do the trick.

Yeah, but then you'd still see the plastic ring that is the halo. Why wont someone make a nice set of projectors with nice shrouds around the projectors... not some estupido halo ring.

I am partial to them if they are done right......Might change the color on them while I have them apart.

Or removing them all together, just depends on how these are put together too
