Got the H1 motoholders in the mail and upgraded to 55w hids. After doing some research I found out that 55w hids are risky in these housings with the H1 projector (burns bowls, melts housing lenses) so I’ll stick with it’s my 35w kit which is fine. Ready for install.

Love the grill. Those turn signals are quite sharp too actually.
Thank you. The turns for sure came out looking better than I expected. I’ve never seen another set like these so it was hard to imagine the end product

Nothing ever alerts us when our brake lights go out anyway, which are way more important than turn signals. BTW, why is that? They could design an alert if a TS bulb goes out but not brake lights or headlights or running lights?
Technically our trucks do tell us when the brake lights are malfunctioning. You just won’t know it until you go to use cruise control and it doesn’t work... lol

@05Single fronr lights look good! I really like the corner light housings! They look great! Wish they made them in Denali corners haha.
Edit: what brand are the turn signal housings?

Btw I got the morimoto Motoho1ders. They helped a ton with centering the bulb. Just confuses me that why wouldn’t they have a cure for this already built into a finished H1 projector. Why sell something if it’s not going to be the best. Whatever, extra $20 ain’t much to get 100% out of your lights. Because I did mock up these lights without the holders and the alignment was visibly off.

I used those on both my retrofits, seemed to work good. Just an inexpensive upgrade I guess.
