    I am going to order Retrofits from Eledobleu.

    I have a 14 SR5 in Barcelona Red.

    I'm not sure whether I'll do the chrome delete on the car, so I'd like suggestions on the headlight design that would work with Chrome of Black grill/surround.

    Does anyone have any pictures with chrome grill and retrofit headlights?

    Thanks.

    Thanks. That idea may work.

    Anyone else have retrofits done by themselves or by eledobleu? Please post pictures! Please!

    Thanks.

    I'll be doing a retrofit here soon as well. This is what I'm going with:

    Do you have any shots of the outputs, cutoffs? Haven't seen any posts from @eledobleu lately.

    I know, I PM'd him over a week ago and no word back yet. He did say he doesn't get on here as much and suggested that I email him. I have to wait a little longer to pull the trigger so it's no big deal I guess.

    I dont have any other photos. I got those from this link that he put up once: https://www.tundras.com/threads/mini-d2s-w-switchback-panamera-drl-shrouds-led-strip-black.6138/

    I'm sure if you cruise the "lighting" section, you can see what others have done with output photos.

    I don't have good pics but Eledobelu did mine. They look a lot like the pics posted by TTU19 above. Everything is black except the panamera shroud and the turn signal reflector.

    Nice...How much does it cost if you don't mind sharing? Any warranty on it? Thanks.

    You're saving a lot by not having to pay shipping, probably $100. For me there was shipping new lights from the retro fitter and my old lights back to him. Can't wait to see what you've imagineered.

    I got the $400 model, added led strip, added panamera shroud with leds. Reflector will be satin black, but keeping the bezel chrome. People should be aware that the prices quoted are for "base" model. Add ons cost more, as they should. Eledobleu can explain what each add on costs if you pm him with questions.

    He is waiting for headlights to build, then send to me before I send him mine.

    20" Cooper STT Pros on md rims, quadfire lights, pro grille, leather interior, navi, retrofitted headlights, blacked out chrome, TRD sway bar, hypertech interceptor, k&n air intake, Banks exhaust
    Retro definitely the way to go. I had some but SOLD because I'm going for a new crewmax...so I will do a different scheme
