Thanks :)
Idk yet. After seeing Demons green headlights that kinda peaks my interest in some red backlight behind the projector. I’m not big on the halo look though for mine.
I see. Well, as far as I understand it, halos are on/around the bucket rims, angle eyes are on/around the projector itself as a ring, and a demon eye is a low powered rgb led IN the projector that you can set to any color you want.

I was thinking, on your build, a red demon eye, yellow angel eyes, and orange halos.

I’ve looked into the demon eyes, cause I love that idea. But from what I briefly saw it wasn’t very visible in the daylight, so it wasn’t worth it to me.

Okay, so after re-reading these few short updates on my PC, my official input on the grill is body matched with red emblem {mopar or ram head or anything else you like, really}, and try the red slats or mesh.

If they don't work/you don't like them, try chrome/silver/brushed/nickel slats or mesh.

Oh, and a SICK red and silver/nickel/chrome/brushed "392" badge on the side somewhere towards the front.

And maybe a red side stripe that breaks up into those squares/rectangles at the back while simultaneously getting thicker where the last 4 squares on the very back contain the letters of "HEMI"

Really wish I could do photoshop RN. I could whip up a sick concept image. Are you still gonna leave it as leveled/go lifted with 34" or bigger AT's or are you planning on a drop after the drive train is done?

It’s staying leveled on the 33’s. I’ll definitely put a “Hemi” or “392” badge on the corner like my current one. I won’t lower myself down to putting an r/t or SRT badge on though haha. And no chrome is ever going back on the truck [emoji13] I’m deciding between a mopar or Ram head center emblem

Agree with the chrome decision, hence my offering of alternatives. Hmm, I see what you're saying. So, my updated concept for your truck [lol] would be 34's[to fill a lil more] leveled, your choice of wheel size, 392 badge on front fenders, HEMI painted on rear QP's, red mopar emblem on front, red or silver/brushed/nickel slats or mesh, red ram head on the tailgate or a white/red and white decal on the rear window.

What kind of bumper/lower front end are you going for?

Same bumper on the front, I looked into the sport bumper cover, but decided it wouldn’t look right with the back bumper and lower trim lines all bedlined. So I’m keeping the old setup

So no gnarly tube/plate/offroad front bumper?

Not at all. Like I said, going for a clean, sleek street look, but not dropped. I live up in truck country, dropped trucks aren’t popular around here

And the manifold is finished up now. I used a better filler compound this time and got a much better result then the last one. Looks way better if I do say so myself. Last thing to do is the fuel lines and this is ready to bolt on

Got me drooling, dude. I'd almost ask for you to make me one, but I'm terrified of the price. Especially given recent options coming up for me.

It’s not hard, you just gotta take your time. All I did was cut it up with a dremel and then sand it down.

Hey, I figured out 2 causes of the reason why you won't go with demon eyes. 1, they don't put enough power through the color changer[honestly, why not just make the whole thing a color changer?]. And 2, they run it through the projector lens, which is designed to project it forward and down, rather than running it through an opaque bulb style lens or ball that would just glow/equally disperse it.

And I've seen a really bright looking one that has a dedicated bulb and lens like I describe.

And more beautiful demon eye goodness.

Imagine THIS in your headlight buckets!

Yeah I’ll look into it. Kinda just worried about getting the truck finished now, I’m good with what the lights are. Got a ton more to do on the truck and not a lot of time to do it
