Did you use the same sized halos for the high and low?

Looks very similar to the Tuff Stuff Alpha. Wouldn’t be surprised if they are made by the same factory.

I haven’t been fortunate enough for that one yet. Me and my daughter basically lived in the back of my old Toyota T-100 for 7 weeks bouncing around all over the Rockies a few years back. A camper shell and a 14” thick memory foam mattress made all the difference to this old man! Lol. Took a few old Coleman lanterns and a Coleman cook stove. Two plastic totes and two ice chest. We had the time of our lives! She’s now 16 and wanting to make the trip to Alaska. We would be doing almost double the miles, but I would have some help with the driving this time! Lol.

LED bulbs in GX projectors SUCK with 2 or 3 exceptions. Blues are nearly useless onroad. Stick to HIR halogen swap in low and high, or HID. Frankly for the time of disassembly etc, retrofit is way more important to me than halos. Anyone done some "indirect" accent lighting? I think I may just do a diffused strip that isn't directly exposed in mine. Maybe a switchback
