Well, I've been lurking long enough. hopefully, I can help some of those with factory LED/projectors with questions. and some who are looking to modify their units. Hoping to get a bit of insight from those that have upgraded the V1's with better DRL's/turns.
So I bought V1 black modify street dual projectors. I have a white 2014 Laramie. Planning on pulling apart and painting the bezel, as well as upgrading the LEDs.
Overall I love the headlights, I would have bought the V2's if they had white LED housings. But I am now wishing the DRL's/turns were brighter. And primarily that the turn also illuminated white for dual DRL function. I have also been watching 1500ram12's write up on his modded V1's. Awesome job by the way. You and Jimmy07. I realize that video's don't always do justice. In my case, they make the lights appear brighter than they are. From the pictures in your build thread, it appears your LED's came from the sun. How much brighter are they than right out of the box? Here is what I'm thinking... maybe you can give me the confirmation I'm looking for, or show me a better way.
for the thinner top section (the current DRL) (I know these are switchback, but I can't find any that are just solid white single function on the website?

for the Turn Signal - (Thinking about doubling the order and installing 2 strips in each side depending on how much output I get from one, and how evenly the cover appears to be illuminated)

Also, anyone with experience in the RGB LED strips, I'm looking at RGB strips for my tail lights. I have the C style that is white with a clear lens and black backing. At night they look great, but during any sunlight, the red doesn't show through too well, also they have an LED panel inside and the C itself is used for parking light only. I wanted to wire a RGB strip in them to have a brighter red illumination, as well as using GB to make amber or yellow turn function, and use the LED panel for brakes only. Do I have to use a controller for this, or can I simply wire the red to the parking light wire, and GB to the turn and crack open a beer?
