So I got a deer with my new truck (2K miles) Thankgiving, small spike at 55 did some damage! I was able to drive it home and get us back safe at least (we were 5 hours away).

So I got both headlights even though all the damage was on the drivers side from me swerving (broken tab on the pass side). To make things worse/better the factory black headlight were on national back order with no ETA so I changed over to the chrome projectors.

I honestly never liked the black projectors on white and this worked out for me, I also had them paint the badge white, however I don't like it as much and will do another one in a chrome/white scheme.

I am planing on having Jeremy retro the headlights with FXR's/hids and clear corners.



Possible doing a Laramie grill insert ?




Over all I think it will be different enough from the storm trooper direction most people go with white Sports and clean looking is a different way.

The headlights would look good but in my opinion the laramie grill wouldn't

Who's truck is that? It has Quad projectors and the hood and bumper are different than yours.

Oh btw your truck is looking super nice.

Any chance your selling the stock black oem projectors???

Not sure who's truck, it was a google image that popped up while i was searching (its a 2500/3500 HD)

Not looking to sell the old housings right now as I may use parts from them. I know the drivers is F'd bad and might have broken internal parts.

I'd recommend white instead of black just like your thinking. I just finished painting mine all white minus the reflector and ordered the led switchbacks from Jeremy to install. I was super happy with the light output from the diode dynamics switchback kit. If I had the option I'd do exactly what your doing with projectors and I'd have Jeremy do it. Good luck make sure to post pics when you get your lights back.

I have seen a few "white out" projector pictures, I like them and they look killer.

I am going for a more stealth/subtle modding, doing things that do not really stand out while standing out (if that makes sense).

Figured out my grill badge last night, had my old badge from the deer to play with (damaged) and some engineering grade reflective scotchlight (like on street signs).

I will say white its not s perfect match to the factory bright white it is close enough!

Looks normal until light hits it Mwahaha (new badge is waiting for me to mod at the dealer).

That makes sense that's what I've been going for but I was trying to explain the look at lunch yesterday and I don't think they got it. That's why I opted for the white and Amber switchback halos bc I thought the rgb headlights were too much. I'm jealous of you starting with the projectors, those will come out awesome.

That looks awesome it looks like the white matches really well. I may have to try that bc I've been looking to switch up my grill
