My retrofit has come to an end.......

I saw the light in person the other day and they came out really good.

good job man, your truck looks awesome. and I love your License plate.

Ha, thanks man.....The Raptor was adopted by my Harley S/c truck. That thing slaughtered quite a few SRT trucks.....the Raptor fit the bill perfectly to transfer. AND I never had to ride around with the paper tag (plate,lol).

Thanks Indubious. I'm amazed at my own craftsmanship (not at all like im the shit but..) to say the least . I'm thinking my next personal retro will be resorting to a Vinyl lay inside of the reflector bowl and even around the bezel instead of paint. Paint takes forever. Being a buddy owns a little place.... Printed colored/ textured carbon fiber and use a heat gun to lay perfect should be considered when the time comes again. Keep your eyes peeled. Be a little while though...

Thanks...
Helpful tip* when retrofitting the FXR's, to get my perfect circle on each side, use the halogen bulb holder, u cut that piece/portion square out and then you can use the spray can top with your horizontal stock bowl lines to mark your hole square with each light. Dremel till the bottom solenoid just fits through through the bulb holder portion dremeled out.
Takes a great bit of dremelling and from what I hear via Ducati, LS projectors are about the same as far as trimming goes.

Here's a finished picture of how the beast sits now!....

My next retro ill have to upgrade to the LS460's I'm figuring out. The bowls I'm afraid just may not hold up to the elements for extreme periods of time past 50watts. I want to boost the AL ballasts to crank out a whopping 100watts and throw a dimmable module so I can have the adjustability from 35watts-100watts. . Going to be interesting the light output. Yea, I can upgrade and buy expensive LED bars (which I will anyways) but having 100 watts of driving lights AND highs at the twist of a knob is great too! Can u really ever have Too much light?! Lol, Pretty kewl sight to see!

To clear this up for some of you's.......I do not retrofit as a profession. This thread was only to demonstrate my abilities and for the DIY's. You can achieve when u try. My suggestion for the first timers is strictly patience and get all the info available through the sites. Thanks for looking fellas!
