Default custom projectors and switchback turnsignals

Finally got around to making a video of my custom projector headlights by jeremy at retroshop, and also my switchback turnsignals. Here you go.

Jay thanks for the video bro! I actually ordered my Switchbacks yesterday! I just really do not want to have to pull the grill off AGAIN!

Your lights look sweet! Glad to see JJ hooked you up at Retro Shop! His work is great, and looks like your setup is identical to mine.

Did you end up ordering HID fog lights too or no?

No fogs. The projectors were more than enough of an improvement.

The projectors are a huge improvement and mostly drive with just them but on the backroads w/ deer I hit the fogs and my god they are awesome. Pretty soon they'll be my gator spotters, since I'll be living near the everglades in south florida here shortly.

Gators can do a number on tires. Right now I'm trying to coast and not do anymore mods right now. But I keep eyeing amp research's power steps....and RBP wheels.

The only way I can see myself not doing any more mods is deleting my account to this site...lol

I looked at those steps and they look sharp, just a pretty penny. What can lights are those you have on your truck btw... I've been looking at the recons.. But Idk which ones I want to get yet.

the cab lights are the factory ones for 2500/3500 trucks. I looked at recon but didn't like them.

Are the switchback LED's just a swap out with the old bulb? If so isn't there an access point on both inside fenders? I never looked inside the access points, I just assumed they were for direct access to the directional bulb.

yes they are just a swap out. No its not that easy. That little door just gives you access to a latch that holds your headlights in. You have to undo that latch and then pull your grill out and then you can remove your headlights to do the swap. I have done it about 5 times now and it still makes me uncomfortable when I remove the grill. Best bet it to just plan it to do all your headlights mods at one time.
