@kwOH , that's like way beyond my skill level haha. I like the idea though!

Just a thought on the wiper delete, could you maybe cut a metal circle out to fit in the hole and then a bigger one to go behind the hole and use some type of adhesive or something then use some bondo and touch up the paint. Basically do the same process as you would if you were getting it done and welded but with some type of adhesive or jb weld or something. This is just a rough idea, someone can maybe fine tune this and run with it. I imagine it would be cheaper and diy.

My body shop said that even using panel bond, it will eventually show the edges of the hole due to shutting the hatch over time. He tried it. Needs to be welded.

Yes I got my depos off eBay and they came to $135 with tax. @Fosscore , I wanna do the wiper but doing it the right way just really isn't an option right now. Too much $$$. So it'll have to wait lol.

Black ones though correct? It's weird that the exact same ones in chrome are $260 and you have to buy both sides separate.

Correct. I wanted to stay with the black housing look since that's what I have now. I agree it is weird. And it's not even really chrome haha. It's fake chrome.

Yea I'll probably just stay with my Darth Vader Spyders for now. Good to know there's another option though. I have a blower to deal with now anyway lol.

@Red Rocket , I think you should stick with your current headlight setup. I really like them! They look good with your color!
Edit: that was supposed to say current headlight.

 

[Fosscore]

Just a color matched shark fin for you that I did on the NNBS. Sorry a little dirty as it is a passing rainy day.

 

[adventurenali92]

^looks good. That's what I want mine to look like. Just gotta get my paint skills there. Lol.

 

[Fosscore]

That one is a perfect piece to do first if you are concerned with your skills. If you want some step-by-step help, let me know.

Where can I get those for $100 a pair? @TheAutumnWind is that what you paid? I see them on Amazon for $130 EACH!

Edit: that's for the chrome projectors. I actually found the black projectors on EBay for $130 a pair.

I got these "light smoke" TYC Denali projectors on Amazon for $97 (and $13 shipping).



(More pictures in my build thread.)
Hrm... I need to wash my truck and find a nice sunny day to take some good pictures of how it sets now... I got brand new turn signals that aren't yellowed like in these photos.

I didn't purchase any, but I've seen them around that price.

And another thiugh, was in an out if my car all afternoon as I took some time away from the slopes to detail for some of my very loyal clients. And the new foam cushion in my drivers seat made a world of a difference. My seat is even more comfortable than it was before. Loving it! And got him all shined up this afternoon. Quick after wash pic!

So you know how much better you could see when reversing when you went from stock tails to your new ones?
Get a set of these and put them in your reverse bulbs and it will be like that again!



They are like having a set of aux backup lights on the back of your truck, but everything looks stock.
I highly recommend them! (and several other members here have them in their trucks)

Are these the JDM Astar 1200 lumen 3157 LED bulbs?

@W8TVI

@W8TVI

Yes they are.
From the sounds of the reviews on Amazon, they will die an early death if you use them as DRLs (from the built up heat), but for low duty cycle applications like reverse lights, they are great!

I've had mine since the beginning of January, and have had no trouble yet.

 

[Rocket Man]

Hey @W8TVI didn't I see you getting all PO'd for someone jacking your build thread? Yet here you are doing it to someone else? I mean I don't mean to offend you but come on! How did we even get to reverse light LED bulbs?

But I'm not asking a question, I'm trying to get @Bigbeardenali1992 to spend more money on his truck!
But really, they make a big difference on how well you can see backing up, and they are a plug-and-play upgrade.

Thread jacker. STFU.

Now we are getting completely off topic!
We better report ourselves!

We now return you to your regularly scheduled build-thread, already in progress.

Any 3157 bulb will die a young death in the drl plug, whether halogen or led.

Have to use the proper bulb which is 4114L and it will last forever.

We really need to sticky a thread for specific drl bulb applications lol

I'm using these 10W JDM ASTARs in my DRLs. I guess I'll see how long they last...
