    You make all other RUclips DIY guys look like hack jobs. I’ve said it before you cinematography and editing is spot on your even getting better, I went back and watched your videos 6 months ago and there is a noticeable change in the way you put your productions together that really streamlines the whole video.

    Stellar work as usual man. I've used several of those Cerakote headlight kits with amazing success, they work extremely well...especially if you want brownie points with your mother in law! 🤣
    Morimoto is also top quality kit, I'm running a 55w HID kit with their bulbs in my Tahoe, and I have a set of their XB headlights on my Silverado. Insanely bright - they are a huge step up from the factory HIDs.
    Funny you mentioned TRS, too...Nick C. over at there is an acquaintance of mine, great dude. Good choices all around, man!

    I was thinking at beginning how could you be so excited over headlights lol .

    They look awesome and more importantly perform awesome .
    Lighting is one of those areas top brands and more money works out best .
    Cerakote headlight kit looks interesting product, I got an old clean sf9 forester (wife's winter car) with milky lenses and this product looks ideal simple solution to try .
    Good job , this truck everything lucked out pretty sweet ...

    I'm trying to rig up a similar switchback system on my truck and bought shrouds just like these with the same wiring system it seems. On the wires for the turn signals the original has the green and white. The harness for the switchback has the black box with the black and yellow going to the shroud. Then it has four wires coming out of the other side of the box (black, white, red, yellow). I couldn't see how you rigged the other four wires here and I don't see much on the forums that's helping me. Could you give me a brief description as to how you hooked those up?

    That truck is truly one of a kind, frickin’ awesome! Great job! Just wondering if this light retro kit would fit into a 1998 Toyota 4Runner. I’m currently looking for a projection kit for it. I installed LED light bulbs into the stock fixtures and totally hate the broken up beam and it just doesn’t have the reach of the beam I would like. Thanks Austin for another bitchin project, can’t wait to see what you do to the small Toyota “streeter” project! MAKING TOYOTAS GREAT AGAIN!👍🏻

    I wonder how black chrome spray paint would work on headlights. I think Duplicolor makes one called shadow chrome or something like that. I think it’d turn out nice, and since most of us don’t have a sandblaster, might be a more doable option.

    • @corylangston8764
      @corylangston8764 2 года назад

    Did you mark your old lights on the wall before the retro? I'm about to do the same thing but forgot to mark old cut offs. Thinking about installing prior to putting lense back on to get cut offs lined up then pulling back out to put lense on and bake back together.
