Just got done building these. The lenses are not sealed in these pictures so they have fingerprints and dust on them. They will be way cleaner when I go to reseal them.

I've put so much money into these and so much time and customization to make the full size 3" projector and shroud fit inside the housings. Tons of dremel use; grinding, cutting, sanding, repeat.

Love how they turned out!!!

Huge props on all your hard work and time!!!! Lights look fantastic!!!!
Thanks. Lemme tell ya, Large (3" or full size) shrouds require a TON of modifications to make then fit into quad housings. I even had to trim the inside bezel some too but totally worth it. I love the all led projector look and they light up so fast and so bright. Best money I've spent on my truck.

Great work. Must agree with the 3" projector. Lot of work but well worth it

Nicely done. Working on a set with Mini D2S. Can't do full LED like you did. #1, those MLEDs are not cheap...LOL. #2, I think with the extremes that upstate NY experiences, I would be worried about ice build up on the headlights.

Those look great!!!

Why would you paint the side reflectors and not just buy clear ones? There is no way that is goinh to pass state inspection.

Painted my first set of lights never had a problem with side marker. I think that's just a safety standard for the car companies not so much state laws.

1. If i wanted clear corners, i could have bought $65 clear corners. Obviously i have well over $1,000 into these lights, close to $2,000, painting my corner markers was not a "money issue".

2. Because they are my lights, and it was my choice, and I chose to paint them to match the Projector Shrouds.

3. Many Ram owners who retrofit/custom paint their headlights will paint the corner markers. Ive yet to hear of one person having an issue when it comes to inspection.

Exactly. My last set of custom lights i built, OEM TYC Replicas had paint matched corner markers.

Your state must be different than PA. The orange illumination has to be seen from corners of headlights. If your state doesnt require that, then rock on. I didnt say it looked bad. I think it looks good.

Interested in retrofitting mled someday but no cars to do it on lol. Did the mh1v7 on the ram, doing matchbox 2.0 for the ram fogs and 4tlr on the odyssey.

Do the mled flicker when being filmed at 60fps rate?

I live in PA. Never had an issue. I guess if you run across an a-hole mechanic then it might be an issue but my dealership knows me and doesnt care. I have quite a few "off-road use only" parts on my truck.

No, I dont remember noticing it but the Profile Prism Halos (both fitted and circular) and the demon eyes flickered like crazy. I had to backup a good 15 feet for it to stop. Anything any closer and you could see each individual LED and it flickered hardcore and the color morphed into some weird ****.

Do your RGB switch when you turn on your truck. Just wondering because mine go to a light blue when truck is running but go back to what ever color it was on when truck is off. Not sure if it causes interference or just some safety default.
