Yeah the price is up there a little. Lol and I'd be game for a meet we could always do a southern IN to North KY meet. Louisville is about 1.25 hour from me.
It's actually not too bad running switchbacks. This customer requested it, I tried to talk him into doing strips but he decided against it. When I painted I made sure to clear it to help with reflection a little bit more.What kinda light output do you get from the 3757 bulbs with the reflectors painted? I'm guessing you can barely see the turn signals during the day.
You gotta get hip to using the multiquote feature.

I'll have him send some to me when they make it to his house. Lol I'm still learning to use tapatalk on this forum. I'm usually not a regular poster. I done mine the same way his are done for the bottom turn. Soon mine will be pulled apart and done for a 3rd time. I got some stuff I wanna change. I'm going to a strip on the bottom of mine to match the corner light.Blckshdw said:[emoji14]opo: You gotta get hip to using the multiquote feature.
I'm interested in seeing some daytime shots at distance if you can swing it.

Cool. I didn't know if you would want to go that route, hence why I didn't link it lol. If you do it, let us know how it goes and post pictures.

That's true. I forgot that TRS had projector kits specifically for the Spyder headlights.
Those projectors look unique, but like you mentioned, I have read/seen pics of the not so great output.
I did see TRS came out with a Universal XB LED sealed fog light and it is their smallest one. Slightly larger diameter of the Matchbox 2.0, but the depth is significantly less. I have been contemplating how I could retro that into an OE TB fog light. It would appear much easier than the Match projectors. Pig tail coming out of the end is a basic 9006 plug which you could swap with a 880 plug. Did not see any mention of a driver, appears to be plug and play. Each fog light is rated at 1200 lumens.
Is it bad that I have not completed my first fog light retro and really contemplating taking on another

Considering I am also thinking of doing a selectable quad retrofit, with 5000K in one set and a 3000K in the other set, I can't blame you for thinking of another retro.
Edit: I wonder if their GMC LED fogs would bolt right up for the Voy guys here

There is no correct answer to this question, as it's purely subjective from person to person.
If you have a sanding drum and a rotary tool, you can trim the shrouds down bit by bit, to fit whatever shaping configuration you want. I had Iris shrouds in the high beam buckets of my first retrofit.

I'm sure that wouldn't be hard to make work on our rigs
Lol already have fogs, but perhaps in the futureThanks for volunteering man!! We appreciate your efforts!

Spec-D's is as close as you'll get to that for our rigs. Unless you do do a retrofit and try to emulate that look, plenty of us guys on the forum have done Halos too
Only member I know personally that got the off-the-shelf projector setup was @Decembersend. I believe he felt they were servicable, although that jacked up cutoff on the passenger side (shoots up into the trees) was annoying.
Maybe he'll chime in on whether or not he would have retrofitted them anyway, had they not gotten muddy water inside the housing, causing him to need to take them apart anyway to clean em out.

They're not worth it at all, best to use that money to invest into a retrofit
