I'd leave it as is besides the reflectors. Your choice, but especially with the color of your truck, it just has that clean simple look that you can't beat.

I've been going back and fourth between doing it or not. Still haven't made up my mind. We'll see. Thank you for the compliments!

No problem man, I'm sure it'll look good either way. And I'll say this, if you're taking inspiration from summers and his truck, you can't really go wrong. Haha

We went out Saturday night to a party at a club I'm a member of. It was open bar and I had a few too many Jack & Cokes after a lot of beer so the wife drove the F-150 home. It sat in the driveway until today, and I went out to a dead battery. I charged the battery all day and it started right up, but now I don't have any headlights. My fog lights come on, but I don't have high or low beams. I have to find some time this week to look at it.

Installed the Morimoto XB 5500K bulbs and they appear much brighter and much whiter with a hint of yellow than the 3Five 6000K bulbs. Great thing is the XB bulbs needed no shims to seat correctly. Very happy about that.

Looks great Connor, which projectors did you end up buying and did you use any epoxy on the back to seal it? Did you take any other pics of the assembly? I always like to see pics, it gives me ideas for mine. I have mine almost ready to be put together, just waiting on TRS to get the switchbacks in (back order till the end of this month).

Replaced two shot idler pulley's. Damn that fan is sharp!

She runs nice and quiet again though. Except for the phasers:P

Next up: New tires, new fog light housings, some rust repair, and then maybe look at the phasers. Going to be a busy spring

Thank you! I went with the mini h1 from the close out section on TRS website. As it being my first retrofit I didn't want to put a lot of money into them and end up messing something up. I haven't put any epoxy on yet as I haven't aimed them yet. I plan on aiming either tonight or tomorrow, all depends on the weather. But I will be using JB weld. I'll be sure to post pictures.
