It's ok, clutter away... I think we are all curious as to what the presumed infraction was.

A failure to “seek to understand” is the likely issue. Followed closely by pride I suppose.

I'm sure I didn't violate any rules, so I'm not concerned. If I did, someone of authority will let me know and we'll handle it accordingly. Aside from that, I'm more curious as to what you have up your sleeve for the headlights.
Who knows? I don't care to entertain this with speculation.
Have you ever seen one of those parents that gets down on a knee and begs the toddler to tell them what they're crying and stomping their feet about, but the bratty, spoiled toddler angrily clams up to make the parent beg more? I'm not that parent.

Yeah, my comment in those situations is something like “if you can’t tell me then it’s not a problem so quit crying”.
moving on

Well, I'm still not 100% sure.
I was wanting to do something to make them stand out from the crowd a little bit without being gaudy.
I definitely concur with not wanting to make the lights look like an eyeball or changing the look of the front end too much.
I have kicked around the idea of just doing a little black on the chrome as an accent or possibly doing something color matched with the WDT paint but again I just don't know yet.
I have some time to figure it out as I plan on waiting until TRS has their Memorial day sale at the end of the month before buying the projectors and such.
I started this thread to get ideas, not for high school drama.

Also, I am curious if anyone who has done a retrofit before has ever used vinyl inside the headlights? Like a vinyl sticker.
I am just curious if the heat from the bulbs would be an issue with the vinyl, causing it to peel or anything.

Yeah, I wasn't talking about CM the whole inside.
I know it is almost impossible to come up with something that hasn't been done before.
I was thinking about maybe CMing the chrome sides of the reflectors or something... I don't know.

Like me, you need someone with Photoshop to render your ideas. I just think about them for a few months or years then forget about the project entirely.

I would imagine they are going to get way to hot for vinyl to be in there. Also, having wrapped some of the interior pieces, the thought of wrapping the interior of the headlight gives me hives haha

I was thinking about maybe a small Chevy bowtie in black vinyl on the side of the chrome or something... just to be different.
I thought about the Blacked out look, but I’m not sure I like the way it makes the lights look so small.
As for the earlier offense. I read all the way back to the first posts and it seems the offense came from talking about Blacking things out, and a picture posted of Uncle Ben, who is black. I think an unintended racial offense was created.
Now, can we all put it aside and play nice?

Some people look for any opportunity to be offended. People are brain washed to think that being a victim gives them special rights.
When you allow someone to offend you, or make you mad, you are actually giving them control over you. I prefer to be in control so it is very difficult to get me riled up.
The problem is he didn't get the joke about it making the headlights look "ricey"... since Uncle Ben is a rice manufacturer the logo is often used to poke fun at automotive "upgrades" that are more often seen in the JDM cars.
Back on topic... I agree about making the headlights look too small so I will probably leave them chrome but I may put a small tasteful matte black bowtie inside the headlights somewhere... just to be different.

Shut your crap lousy face.
You don't speak for all service members.
You really didn't need to say anything in the first place, "Karen".
I was gonna say way because at the start of the thread to PTM until I realized his truck was white. IMO white is the only color where PTM headlights don’t look good.Had to Google:
I had to go back and hit the “show ignored content” after reading through the thread and seeing there was something going on. And it didn’t take long to remember why I put the Pug dude on my ignore list right after he joined the forum. I think it was after reading his second or third post. Sometimes it only takes a minute to know someone has absolutely nothing that you want to hear.
