Project Retro!

Got all of my stuff in from Jeremy! Now to find the time to work on it while watching the baby...Hopefully I can get a good start on it this Saturday.

Went with the Quads and mini's eh? I wired my Halos to a switch, do you plan on doing the same or tapping them in so they're always on with the lights?

 

[012RAMbo]

I thought about doing a switch or a 5 pin relay to come on with parking lights and go off when the lows come on. But I think I am going to just make it simple and tap the park lights. So they will be on whenever headlights or parking lamps are on. Also got the 3" xb amber strips I am going to try and put them in the little sail panel by the low beam. I plan to dremel out a small channel and mount them behind the bezel and tap blinker wire only. Not 100% sure yet though for the strip placement.

Those jokers are bright and the halos are too. Hard to look at lol

Which shrouds are those?

 

[012RAMbo]

They are supposed to be mini gatling gun. I'm not sure if the design changed a little or what, but they are a little different than any I have seen before. The only difference is the small notches on the top ring part. I checked the measurements on TRS website and these shrouds are a hair bigger than what they have listed. Maybe these are generic mini gatling gun but jj uses them because they are a touch larger? I have no idea.

 

[012RAMbo]

All finished up with everything. Very happy with the looks and output. Not completely blown away by the output, but way better than stock and drop in hid kit. I will try to get some night shots comparing to oem halogens shortly. These are 35w 5500k morimotos btw.









This is about 25ft or so from the wall still daytime outside. Driveway is slanted a little

Looks great..Love the blinker strip.

 

[012RAMbo]

Thank you sir, a lot of time and work in them for sure. JJ is a madman doing these everyday haha.

 

[lokal907ryder]

damn those look good, have you thought about switchback bulbs for the blinkers? that would look awesome being white to match the halos then blink orange with those led blinker strips you put in. awesome job on that build!

 

[012RAMbo]

Thanks! Yea I thought about doing the switchbacks, but really haven't done enough research on them yet. I want 5k color and ones that the white goes completely off while blinking. TRS has some but not so great reviews on them. And ones that I have found elsewhere are around $100 or more...no thanks, not for blinkers haha.

 

[012RAMbo]

Finally was able to get a few output shots. Louisiana weather has been crazy last couple of days.
